Olympic Events
I don’t get it. I’ve been hearing a lot about how this is the last time softball will be an official Olympic event, and I simply don’t understand why it’s being dropped. Is it not exciting enough? Are some teams too dominant? Is the sport not mainstream enough? I have no clue what the official reason is, but I have a feeling it’s bogus anyway.
Why would I say that? Because I was just perusing a list of other Olympic events and came across the following: Synchronized swimming, Canoeing, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, and Handball. Do you really mean to tell me that any of these events are more mainstream or draw more of a crowd than softball??? Are you freakin’ kidding me? What a complete joke. No wonder I stopped watching the Olympics back in the ’80s.
