Eliminate Certain Oympic Events

[LOVELYRITA]

With the recent olympics, I have caught by surfing the channels some peculiar events that should NOT be part of the Olympics.

Here is my rant on what should GO...

Ping Pong (Table Tennis)

Badminton

Hammer Throw

Modern Pentathlon....really do we need this as part of the Olympics...and what is in this that we don't have in the "Decathlon"

Some to consider for Rio 2016:

Mother In Law Javelin Catch

10 M Platform Boss Dunk

Just a few to consider.

I am for Goodminton.

I don't know if they think that adding more "things" makes it more accessible to a wider group of participants and even more so, more spectators, but pitiful backyard games should not be made Olympic sports, there needs to be a standard of certain sports and not things like bowling or Golf, really, like "curling" for the Winter Games, what is the point of snoozeville athletics? If you call sweeping a thing on ice a "sport".

The problem with the Olympics is half of it sounds like activities you'd see at summer camp...

What would I like to see...3 words:

Wiener Dog Races! ;D



Oh, bring back Tug-O-War too!
