What olympic sports do you feel should be cut?

Question

This is the last olympics for baseball and softball, which I can't really understand, but while they are at it, what about other sports that don't really make much sense? I love the olympics, but ping-pong and competitive trampoline (come on! really? is that a sport?) might not need to be continued. What are your thoughts?

Answer 1

Badminton or whatever its called... trampoline thing too...diving too (who cares what you can do diving into water?)

Answer 2

I don't really get handball. It looks pretty easy to me -- I feel like I could do it without any training. Maybe it shouldn't be an Olympic event.

Answer 3

table tennis also known as ping pong

Answer 4

Table tennis, better known as ping pong.  It looks like two adults playing a kids game.

Answer 5

boxing and the sword thing, so pt.less

Answer 6

AHHHH trampolining, I could go on forever about how it should not be an Olympic sport. But these guys are good at what they do, so I guess everyone deserves a chance.

Trust me, there are eight year olds in my neighborhood just as good as the guys in the Olympics.

Answer 7

I think BMX riding should be cut as should synchronized swimming.  

Answer 8

Table tennis, its pretty stupid, and baseball cause i cant stand that.

Answer 9

BMX and the NBA can be cut and I would be happy.

Answer 10

bmx! what were they thinking

there is a thing called the X Games

Answer 11

This is just my opinion as a spectactor:

1. Dressage. (Because all I see is a horse prancing around in a circle/sideways. Totally c**p as a spectactor sport. I can't even admire the skill and training involved because my brain keeps going: "Right...and the point of this is???!!")

2. Synchronized swimming and Rhythmic Gym (for obvious reasons)

4. Curling!!! (Synchronized floor mopping! Woo! What fun!)

Hon mentions: Speed walking, Trampoline

Gripe: I want rock climbing in the olympics!  

Answer 12

Weightlifting---- very stupid and dangerous sport

Women Soccer

Trampoline

Answer 13

i agree with the handball,softball and baseball.

The US dominate in softball and baseballl so its pretty much a garenteed gold medal..not really fair..

handball..cause its handball,its a lame sport.

equestrian shouldnt be cut..but i am seriously biased,i love the sport.

Answer 14

Trampoline should be cut...

Answer 15

Softball was implemented in 1996 and the US has won gold all three times, so everyone wants to get rid of it because of that. Also, there's not much interest in softball or baseball. I want equestrian to be cut because the horse does all the work, shooting because that's not a sport, and BMX because that's for X-games and not the Olympics.

Answer 16

they are bringing back soft ball in the 2016 olympics but i think they need to get rid of ribbon dancing and air pistol

Answer 17

softball of course

Answer 18

Mens basketball, mens 100m breaststroke, baseball, gymnastics  

Answer 19

Yes, ping pong (the official term is table tennis LOL)  and trampoline have to go!  Jumping on a trampoline isn't a sport. It's back yard fun. I would exclude, handball, speed walking, sabre, badminton, shooting, archery  and the newest pointless event, bmx bike racing. Come on who wants to see a bunch of overgrown men and women crouched down on a  kid's 16" bike?
