What Olympic sports do you think should not be a part of the Olympics?

Question

Are there any sports that you see in the Olympics that you feel shouldn't be a part of the Olympics for one reason or another?

Also, are there any sports that are not currently in the Olympics that you would like to see as part of the Olympics someday?

Answer 1

Equestrian should not be included. Poor horses.

Golf should be included.

Answer 2

i know it may sound stupid but i really would like to see poker in the olympics.. i mean im a hold em poker fan so i dont think people would agree hehe..

and as for your 1st question i think every game in the olympics is fine the way they are.. they dont have to remove stuff away because certain people have certain likings hehe

Answer 3

I am cool with all the sports that are currently a part of the Olympics.  I would hope that as times change and other sports are pushed into the spotlight that they may be added if there are enough competitors around the world.  

If I got to choose a sport to be added, I think it would be skateboarding or maybe even rollerblading would be cool.

Would I remove any sports?  Only if the worldly competition decreased. I wouldn't base any removal on something I prefer to watch or not to watch.  What's good for this goose, may not be good for the gander, ya' know?

Answer 4

BMX, shooting, and equestrian.

Answer 5

Sychronized swimming should not be a sport at ALL, let ALONE an Olympic sport!

I'd like to see Walleyball in the Olympics.

Answer 6

the boxing is seriously flawed and boring

Answer 7

Golf,  Tennis and any sport that does not allow poorer countries with less opportunities to even get a chance to compete.

Professionalism has killed the spirit of the Olympics.

Answer 8

1. Waterpolo

2  trampoline

3  ping pong

4. beach volley . actually should be first to go!!!!!

5. soccer should go, too many tournaments for soccer already.

6. some of the athletics such as, throwing that big iron ball. that sucks.

7  Judo should not go BUT i really dont like that sport / competition.

Boxing should never go, boxing is one h**l of sport.  

Answer 9

I think the Olympics are great the way they are!

If you don't happen to like a certain sport, don't watch it!

I can't stand watching Olympic boxing, but I would never suggest it be removed.

Answer 10

I don't think table tennis should be in the olympics.  I know these guys are good, but it is sooo boring to watch. Just my humble opinion.  I did give it a chance, but couldn't sit through it.

Answer 11

I think there are too many sports that involve getting a ball over a net.

Men's volleyball, men's beach volleyball, women's volleyball, women's beach volleyball, men's tennis, men's doubles, women's volleyball, women's doubles, men's badminton, women's badminton, men's ping pong, men's doubles ping pong, women's ping pong, women's doubles ping pong...

I'm not sure if I'm missing any, but that just seems like too much to me. I'm not sure what I would cut from there, I just know it all seems so similar to me -- although I guess there are tons of running events, swimming events, diving events, gymnastics events, and so on...

I'm glad baseball won't be there anymore. It seems like it is always on TV, or softball is, plus MLB games are going on and the little league world series. I'm not saying it SHOULDN'T be an event, I'm just glad it won't be the only thing on TV.

I could see golf being an Olympic event since many countries have world-class players.  

Answer 12

Well. they are taking baseball and softball off the olympics that's the fact..  

Answer 13

Trampolining, HONESTLY wtf is that about?? I've seen 8 year olds in my neighborhood who are just as good as those guys in the Olympics.

I'd like to see Cricket in the Olympics. Though a game could go on forever.

Answer 14

I'de probably can the ping pong and Handball.

Rugby should be included and 20-20 cricket.
