Boot out:
* Walking (noone seems to be able to do it)
* Synchronised swimming (seriously?)
* Soccer (They have the World Cup plus the rules like only 2 players over the age of 23 is just lame)
* Table Tennis (seriously?)
* Tennis (would they rather win a gold medal or a grand slam like wimbledon? I reckon its the latter)
* Trampoline (seriously?)
* Rhythmic Gymastics (seriously?)
* Sailing (is the Olympics the pinnacle of sailing?)
* Golf (due in 2016 - it is really going to compare to the Majors?)
* Rugby 7's (due in 2016 - beacuse their World Cup is not enough?)
Bring in:
* Downhill MTB (they have downhill skiing in the winter olympics, this is like the equivalent for summer)
On the fence:
* Modern Pentathlon (has strong traditional links to the Olympics but not exactly popular except in Eastern Europe)
* Wrestling (has strong traditional links to the Olympics(
* Basketball (do the NBA guys really care?)
* Beach Volleyball (other then the perve factor and Australia winning gold in 2000, is theer much link to the Olympics?)
MOD EDIT/HIJACK: THis is a thread that requires some moderation, methinks.
Personally I think the best way to sort this is with a straight 1-in, 1-out scheme. You can't submit a sport unless you take one out. And we need reasons.
Also DH is banned from being mentioned as it will crop up in every 2nd entry.
