Baseball, softball axed from 2012 Olympics
" The IOC will consider replacing them with two sports from a waiting list of five: golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. That decision will be made Saturday.
Baseball and softball are the first sports cut from the Olympics since water polo in 1936.
Baseball has been vulnerable because it doesn't bring top Major League players to the Olympics. Softball has been in danger because of a perceived lack of global appeal and participation. "
I'm pulling for roller sports and squash (that sport's hardcore!). Rhythmic gymnastics survives again mwahahaha
So what do you guys think? Happy? P*ssed? Apathetic?
