Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2227689, member: 1917"] So long as Equestrian Events are considered an Olympic Sport, I think Scrabble, Guess Who and Connect Four are also worthy sports. Absolutely the biggest joke excuse of a sport I have ever heard of. Look at me, I can ride a horsey! As for Rafa, he did win Gold in China and his participation in the event may well have contributed to his recurring injuries. Federer even played doubles in China in order to get a gold medal, so I think it's harsh to say the top tennis players don't treat it seriously. I do agree that being the pinnacle of the sport is a decent barometer of a sport's worthiness, but you'd have to send a few other sports out the door too (Road Cycling, Boxing, Baseball) As for only amatuers, I think it's a horrible idea and any sport that restricts participation should be immediately scrapped. The Olympics should be about the best athletes in the world coming together to battle for the title of the best of the best. If it's not, why the hell should anyone care about it? [/QUOTE]
