Because of USA dominance in womens softball the Olympics have dropped the sport. The last game was played today and ironically Japan beat the USA for the gold medal.
I am wondering will they pick up coed or church league softball as an olympic sport? Wouldn't it be cool to see slowpitch softball with a bunch of overweight weekend athletes out there?

The USA would completely dominate that sport.....it would even be a challenge.
Have "Beer Ball".....where you put a keg on second base and every runner has to slam a beer before they go to third.

| I've been putting together a list of possible Olympic sports, such as Dwarf Bowling, Red Light Running, Cow Tipping, and Hopper's favorite, which has to do with sheep.

So they are dropping a sport because one team usually wins, instead of encouraging all the other teams to improve to be competitive.
Reminds me of a school that doesn't give out A honor roll awards at the end of the year because not all the kids work hard enough to get the award.

That is all about ratings and bringing in the younger "X-Games" crowd and hope they tune in for more then just that.
