Look, I'm not a huge wrestling fan, but how the F*** do you take wrestling out of the Olympics?!?!? If there is one sport that is synonymous with the Olympics it is wrestling! I'm not talking WWE for crying out loud, but real wrestling. I'm pretty sure wrestling was part of the original Olympic games, and it's been part of every Olympics since then.
Oh, but they'll keep Badminton!
Yeah and if that wasn't enough, they're going to include GOLF in 2016! I love golfing, but an Olympic sport Golf is NOT!
Ridiculous!
Wow, that's crazy.
Right... btw, ping pong is in too!
I agree 100%. Sounds like the wresting people didn't pay the IOC members enough.
/IOC fail. But I have to admit that I don't watch the wrestling much.
Nor do I, G... but it still just seems wrong to me. It's like taking the puck out of hockey, or the rim out of basketball.
Or, imagine the Olympic games without the field part of Track & Field... no high jump, long jump, pole vault, javelin, discus, triple jump, etc. It just wouldn't be the same.
