Poll question: 2012 Olympics: Pick a new sport
The IOC is considering adding karate, rugby, and probably some other thing that Americans have never heard of. Well, we need to let them know what we want to see in London in a few years.

1. Co-ed drunken naked beach volleyball
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 10:59 AM by HopeHoops
Hell, womens' volleyball is ALMOST naked as it is!

All you need is a keg and some guys, and probably some classic rock.

12. Bring back baseball!
The only reason I could see for them dropping it was petulant anti-Americanism, similar to that which led to the overhaul of amateur boxing to blatantly undermine more powerful American fighters in favor of the "hunt 'n' peck" style. And as both World Baseball Classics have demonstrated, the U.S. can't seem to cut it in international play.

16. It was a petty move
The French engineered the dropping of baseball, ostensibly because it didn't have enough international appeal (as opposed to synchronized swimming, curling, and biathlon). In other words, "Europeans suck at it, so fuck you, Yankee swine".

What they really did was rob Cuba of a gold medal...
