The question came to me as I scanned the channels and I came across what I thought to be some BBC thing only to find that it was the Olympic sport of
Equestrian Dressage. Beautiful horses and riding but a "sport"? There is more athleticism shown in ballroom dancing than the Dressage. Show of skill like archery, perhaps.

We have the X-Game for a reason. No reason to put skateboarding, motocross, or skydiving in the Olympics.

I would like to see the Olympics go back to amateur status, enough of the professional athletes taking over the Olympics...just don't care for the Olympics anymore.

CDR Terry Boles I gotta think they did that for the ratings. Remember the Dream Team?

Agreed, sad but true...maybe its all about the ratings and revenue.

CDR Terry Boles I totally agree. PGA tour members in the Olympics? After the commotion about Jim Thorpe when I was a kid?

MSgt (Join to see) Being a southerner, I can't relate to ice sports. I guess it makes as much sense as a cow pie throwing contest or watermelon seed spitting contest would to someone from the (frozen wastelands) north. All kidding aside, I have some Canadian friends that really get into it and have tried to explain the intricacies making it a sport. I don't get it.
