    Ok Ok, here me out...

    This is one sport that has truly become, and ALWAYS been an international sport. If you look at the WGC tournaments, the majors, Ryder Cups, Asian Tours, Austrailian and every other continent tours, this is a sport that represents all of the world.

    If we are seriously considering shooting and archery, golf should be vaulted into the discussion.
    I don't think anyone doubts the validity of golf. Everything you say is correct. But, like tennis, it would be like the 10th most important tournament of the year.

    Leryn Franco, the hottest thing to come out of Paraguay since Cindy Taylor.

    (actually I'm sure they have many good looking people we've never heard of)

    I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, but speed walking is in the Olympics and its the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

    It does look a little silly, but it's been an official Olympic event for 100 years. It's not like some synchronized coed BMX biking that's only existed since MTV invented it.

    Yeah, I just couldn't get over how silly it looked, and watching people fall down etc. The BMX and those events belong in the X Games I thought. Shouldn't be in the olympics, IMO.
