Question

Can you till me why netball is not at the Olympics?

Answer 1

Because there's only really 4 countries that play it!!! Duh!

Answer 2

the netball union of america doesn't have enough influence to successfully push through a petition for the sport. people have to request new events to be placed in the olympics. it isn't just some fat guy eating cheetos who decides.

Answer 3

Net ball is a girls game in Britain,it's called basketball in the states  

Answer 4

The IOC has a strong preference for sports with significant male & female participation rates.  Netball, being primarily a sport played by women doesn't meet this criteria.  Same reason rugby is finding it difficult, although they may be able to get 7-a-side in 2012 and beyond as there is at least some female participation in that variant of the sport.  

Answer 5

what the h**l is netball?  Theres your answer, but then again why is table tennis in and trampoline jumping and softball is getting taken out...is baseball too?

You say it is basketball?. If thats right basketball/netball is in the olympics...We are dominating it.

Answer 6

it is popular only in C'wealth countries
