Did Canada get fucked out of gold?

I think since the IOC is removing baseball/softball, on the basis that it's not "worldly" enough. They should be required to get rid of Handball. That's the lamest shit i've ever seen, and never heard of up until a few weeks ago.

ah yes, since you've never heard of it, it must be a rare eastern sport!


it's taught in elementary school here, and high schools usually have a team

Sorry Tikker, i'm quite certain baseball is leaps and bounds ahead of team handball on the recognition meter across the globe. It's ridiculous to me that it's being removed from the olympics, when they allow bullshit sports to remain. Handball, Ping Pong, Badminton? gimme a break. I'll also add it's not just some AMERICA RAR shit, cause I think beach volleyball is a joke too.

[Tikker]

handball is played in more countries than baseball

ping pong is a joke, as is badminton, I agree


I kind of agree tho, that certain things don't really belong in the olympics

personally, I think it should be exclusively solo competitor events


hold seperate championships for team sports (imo)

Badminton is a joke? It's a pretty popular sport.

I hate beach volleyball though, I think it's probably the lamest sport ever imagined. I think slam ball has more integrity.

Beach volleyball probably had the best ratings of anything else!

It's all about the $$

I saw a list that had it at #3 in the US... behind Phelps (I mean, swimming) and Gymnastics.

yep.... never realized that China had hot athletic chicks.... till i watched them in Beach Volleyball

Beach Volleyball is a keeper for a while, I didn't see any Olympic Soccer, I was annoyed, I know, that's heart breaking to some of you
