You will just have to watch the WWE to see men mount each other.

I believe they replaced baseball and softball with golf. They will replace this with something new. This is still pretty fucked up. The same idiot that runs makers mark must be on the IOC.

Agree with the both of you, knew a local kid from here that had a really good chance of being on that Olympic team. This was his first year that he had been working out at the Olympic Village, 4 time state Champion. His best shot was over the next 2 Olympics, feel for him and his family.

If they want to replace something, how about the stupid event in gymnastics where the girls prance around with a ribbon on a stick?

Curling is a Winter Olympics event.

They should replace the modern pentathlon with a sport called "Who can make the most money from stolen goods?"

That's certainly not true. The U.S. doesn't have more than a handful of medalists in Greco where the Soviets and Swedes have dominated historically. We have been better in Freestyle but I wouldn't call it one of our "strongest events". It's been dominated by Russians and Turks.

Just a few that I think without much debate should be trashed before wrestling:
Archery
Synchronized Swimming
Sailing
Shooting
Equestrian Dressage
Artisitic Gymnastics
Rythym Gymnastics

I saw the news yesterday and was a bit disappointed as well. The Olympics are just like everyone else, they are
selling out for the almighty dollar and trying to add more "hip" sports for tv and advertising revenue. One of the
most memorable moments in the past 20 years in the Olympics in my opinion was when Rulon Gardner beat that
big Russian dude for the gold medal in the heavyweight division of greco roman wrestling.

I know this isn't in the spirit of Olympics and may portray myself as a misogynist but they could scrap all the women's track & field events and I'd be good. When all the women are pumping enough pills & creams to look like men I'd rather just watch the real thing.

+1

There are only a handful of events that I watch, and two men mounting each other isn't one of them.

"fucking golf" was going to be an Olympic sport regardless of what happened to wrestling. Maybe you should try doing a little research before you start throwing insults around, Chasiepoop.
