Bye, bye, baseball

So, have you heard yet that baseball and softball were ousted from the summer olympics? That's right...they're too darn American! All this occured during a SECRET vote in Singapore. Give me a break. The olympics are morphing into a political parade rather than a sports competition. Some of the reasons cited for getting rid of baseball include doping and the fact that the USA doesn't send major leaguers. Basically, the world realizes that if we can win gold with our crappy players, then we would certainly woop a** with our major leaguers...so, they got rid of the sport to avoid USA embarassing the world yet again. However, I think these reasons are trivial compared with the anti-American sentiment so pronounced throughout the world.

American as apple pie! You got me, I don't watch baseball at the Olympics either. If the IOC had just come out and said that baseball was boring and that poor attendance, or lack of interest, was the reason for its ouster I would have wholeheartedly agreed. However, they decided to make it a political scene through their lame reasoning.

Point also well made that Carribean and even Far East countries enjoy the game as much, or more, than Americans.
