Who thinks we should get rid of diving, ping pong and add football, and ice hockey to the summer olypimcs?

Question

i do. diving is boring, and ping pong.. are you kidding me?

Answer 1

No.

This is your own opinion.  American football is extremely unpopular throughout the world.  It has slight followings in Europe, but outside of the U.S. and to a lesser extent Canada and Mexico, that's it.  Simply put, too few people around the world care about it.  And ice hockey is a winter Olympics sport.

Table tennis is relatively popular worldwide.  Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one does.  It's decently popular in both Europe and Asia, and its popularity is growing as Chinese exports gain citizenships to other countries.  Diving is decently popular as well, much more so than American football for sure.  Whether or not it's boring is only a matter of your own opinion.

"Are you kidding me" is what I would say if American football somehow found itself onto the 2016 Summer Olympics schedule.

Answer 2

no one plays football besides the usa, the football they play in europe is what we call soccer.

Answer 3

Diving is a tough skill.  Adding football would mean that again, the USA would dominate as we do in baseball.  So sure!  Hockey is in the Winter Olympics and should stay there.  Adding cheerleading would be very interesting!

Answer 4

diving's not boring! ping pong...not that entertaining, but i still don't think they should remove it. ice hockey sounds like winter olympics.

Answer 5

...they're boring to YOU.

why should they get rid of something that gets a lot of support from others that enjoy the sports, and isn't doing any harm?

very simpleminded question. if you don't like them, don't watch them!

Answer 6

i think we should get rid of u for being a d@SS

Answer 7

typical american. no wonder i dont root for american athletes

Answer 8

Just because they are boring to you, doesn't mean everyone else agrees to the fact. And that does not mean they should be removed from the Olympics. And I'm sorry but Ice Hockey is a winter sport and that is why it is in the WINTER Olympics. Not the summer. It would be really stupid to change it to the Summer Olympics. And football. American Football is only popular in one country and 99.99% of it's athletes are from 1 country. The United States. Even Canadian football is mostly people from the United States. So that would be stupid to put football in. It's only popular in 1 country. No one cares about it anywhere else.

Answer 9

Dude hockey is played in the winter Olympics and too bad the rest of the world plays soccer instead of football  

Answer 10

Ice Hockey is part of the Winter Olympics durrrrrrrrrr...It's called Table Tennis...It's more of a sport than American Football...Football is not a sport, only Americans and Canadians play it!  

Answer 11

uhh well I agree we should get rid of ping pong, diving is an artistic sport so I think we should keep that, we probably should add football but isn't ice hockey already in the winter olympics?
