Whiffel Ball with the long yellow skinny bat

Reloading would be a good one also !!!!
 
Every indication is that this is the last Olympic sponsoring baseball and softball. Yet badminton, curling and water polo remain legitimate "sports". Go figure...
 
The original concept of the Olympics as I see it was to get the city State armies of ancient Greece together in games that simulated the arts of warfare to see who had the best soldiers, an alternative to killing them off every year as in years past when the "war season" came along. So, it was a peaceful gesture to neighbors and a way to have braggin' rights for the year.

So, originally, you had games like Javelin tossing (self explanatory), wrestling, running, etc, arts of war and tests of strength at the time. The modern version came along in the same spirit and offered shooting, skiing, swimming, fencing, wrestling, and some of the original track and field sports. The longer it went along, the more stupid stick and ball sports and such were added. Now, what the HELL has synchronized swimming got to do with warfare? :rolleyes: It sickens me, frankly, to have all these STUPID sports involved in the Olympics. I don't much care for stick and ball sports, anyway, and my GAWD, synchronized swimming?! Ain't gymnastics enough of a bone to toss at the females? I sorta like beach volley ball, but I ain't really paying attention to the game, to be frank. I like the newer running shorts the girls are wearing, too. :D
 
how about relay team baton dropping. O wait, we already specialize in that one so it wouldn't be fair to ask other countries to add that to their sports programs.:evil:
 
It is not WWF dang it it is WWE. Get it right would you.

IT IS NOT FAKE EITHER!!!!

LOL yah Right.

I think IDPA or USPSA would make a great addition to the shooting sports. Trap, skeet, air rifle, and pistol are a little boring to watch. I can think of some others but I am sure the women of the world would protest them. All girl nude oil wrestling and things like that.

We could add muttin bustin, or bull riding. That would be much more fun to watch than some goofy person dressed up and prancing a horse around in a circle for 30 minutes.
 
still going strong

still have a hard time believing
this post is lasting as long as it has.

Great Olympic Events of Yore: Live pigeon shooting (?)
By Chris Chase

Of all the discontinued Olympic events, the live pigeon shooting competition from 1900 is steeped in the most lore. Because of the pigeon murder, and all.

As the story goes, organizers of the Paris Games decided to add a number of shooting events to the schedule, including a live pigeon shoot. For the event, birds were released into the air and competitors had to shoot down as many as possible. Over 300 pigeons were killed during the event, and the bloody, feathery carnage that resulted convinced Olympic organizers never to hold the event again.

Those facts are undisputed. What is disputed is whether live pigeon shooting was actually an official Olympic competition. Despite numerous references to the contrary, if seems that the pigeon shooting competition was never sanctioned by the IOC, even though it took place at the Games.

In his complete, comprehensive reference guide to the Olympics, David Wallechinsky makes no reference to the live pigeon shooting event. And I feel pretty comfortable saying, if it's not in that book, it didn't happen. It's sort of a shame it never caught on though, not because I hate pigeons (which I do) but because I love seeing those PETA folk get all riled up.
