The Olympics are over-rated, anyway. They should all be cancelled.

This. About the only thing that would draw me into the olympics is if they brought in cricket. Which is what I'm kind of hoping they dropped wrestling for.

STAY HYPED!!!

The only time I watched the Olympics in 2012 is when they were on in the break room at work. I honestly couldn't name 5 Olympic events without looking them up. Well, I probably could just by guessing random sports. But even that would be a short list since I don't really know that many different sports. I honestly don't care what events get dropped. I have read about this in a few reports though. Kurt Angle is understandably upset by this and is making a big stink over it trying to get them to change their mind. |

They should add Pro Wrestling to the Olympics, because both are fake. |

Stand Back! There's a Hurricane Coming Through

Isn't wrestling like the first sport? They are taking it out but adding Ball Room Dancing? Makes perfect sense. |

I think running/racing on foot is considered to be the first Olympic sport, with wrestling probably being the second. It is silly to remove it since it's one of the base athletic skills but the Olympics don't mean anything to me so I don't care. Even if I was into sports, the Olympics always feel like they're trying to include any and all even remotely athletic activites that they possibily can. I mean there are a lot of questionable events in the Olympics. It seems very random at times. In my opinion, they should only have the core athletic events. Something like: long distance running, sprinting (speed rather than endurance), wrestling, swimming, basic gymnastics, long jump, pole vault, etc. Just the basic tests of human athleticism. Rhythmic gymnastics? Get out of here. Synchronized diving? Fuck your mother. These are the reasons the Olympics have always meant jack to me, even when I was a little kid. Someone claiming to be a Super Bowl champ, NBA Finals champ, World Series champ, World Cup champ, etc was always more impressive to me than a little medal from some random ass Olympic sport.
