"Sports" that should not be in the Olympic Games
Someone had the following thoughts on the issue, I am inclined to agree.
Right here we go;
Team sports, gone, all of them, you have your respective championships and titles to win you have no place at the olympics, I include tennis in this group.
Equestrian - horses are not humans, enough said.
Synchronized swimming - I realize it must take skill but that doesn't excuse its sheer stupidity
Walking - nearly as stupid as sync swimming, why not also have a hopping or sack race.
Cut back swimming - get rid of the different strokes, call it all freestyle and get to the other end in any fashion you like, to have inferior strokes like breast stroke and back stroke competing in their own class is as stupid as a walking event, they're just getting greedy and padding out the program with what we refer to in musical terms as 'filler'.
If you throw it, shoot it, jump it you're cool, if you use a bat or a racquet please bugger off.
Fighting is as pure as sport gets and should be maintained but changed to full contact in all disciplines and UFC should also be introduced as a matter of urgency.
Gymnastics is f**king awesome and definitely stay but the 'artistic' components like ribbon and ball etc are off the agenda. They can join up with sync swimming, walking and equestrian to form a breakaway competition for stupid 'sports'.
