As much as people like me and you think it would be an honor just to be in the olympics that's not the traditional way of thinking. I've gotten too cynical to believe that these athletes do it for this reason. But ( ... )

You know the real reason they're getting rid of baseball and softball, right? Because Europeans don't really play them. Never mind that North America, South America, Australia, and Asia all LOVE and play both... not good enough for a Euro-centric organization like the Olympic Committee.

Once again proving how much Europe sucks a dick

Very true. I'm surpirsed that Europe hasn't submitted a dick sucking compitition for the 2012 olympics since they do it so well.

Sports to get rid of:
Modern Pentathalon- first off i never new that this was a sport and i never knew it consisted of five sports that have like nothing to do with each other. Consists of five sports of shooting, running, swimming, horseback riding and fencing. What? It's the last two i don't get. Throw in cycling and giving the jonas bros a severe beating and I'm all for it.

Table tennis- It's intense, but you take one of our sports away... Plus, stop calling it table tennis, it's ping pong.

Trampoline- Give me a fucking break! Yes a lot of skill but boring and useless.

Any equestrian- Unless it's horse racing or rodeo it sucks.

Possible inclusions:

Lacrosse (yes I've said it like 20x's but it's fucking violent and exciting)
Rugby
Golf (I wouldn't mind it)
Bowling
and of course Dodge Ball

The Olympic motto is Citius Altius Fortius - Faster, Higher, Stronger - not It’s OK to Come in Second. The purpose of the games was always to be the best. There’s nothing different about these modern Olympics - in ancient times, there was intense training, lots of press, refurbishing stadiums, and the quest to win. Winners were idolized in poems as opposed to TV commercials. Swap out medals with olive branches and nothing has changed ( ... )
