I totally thought rhythmic gymnastics had been taken away as an olympic sport!! Wow. They kept that, and are getting rid of softball??
Ok, the IOC would be one storage area.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It could be a hologram, projected from various government installations throughout the world. It could be a large, crudely painted balloon, held in place by helium and propelled by tiny sails and rudders (which is why it moves across the sky so slowly). Or, most likely, it could have been different things at different times and different places, depending on the technology available to the conspirators and the culture and beliefs of the population being deceived.
I could also be 7'2". But I'm not.

I think they are big on getting rid of sports where one team is too dominant. Does the US always win? I think women's hockey is in jeopardy because US and Canada are so dominant over the rest of the teams.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, why did they get rid of softball? I missed it somehow and was surprised to hear this was the last of it.

Yeah, they had a thing on that baseball is going away because it doesn't draw the big names from Major League, so it is not a marque event and softball is going away cause the USA women have absolutely OWNED it since it became an event.

That article Jesse linked to has stuff about baseball too.
The IOC and MLB are at loggerheads. Unlike the National Hockey League, which since 1998 has interrupted its seasons to accommodate the Olympics for roughly a fortnight, Commissioner Bud Selig hasn't the slightest inclination to take a pennant-race hiatus in order to play for medals. The Olympics might be a show, but MLB is The Show, and IOC president Jacques Rogge shouldn't forget it. In any case, MLB likes the possibilities of its World Baseball Classic, which is still in the embryonic stage. Once the kinks in the format are worked out -- and they should be in 2009, when the second tournament will be staged -- there will never be the need to seek the five-ring seal of approval.
