No More Horses!

NBC/USA - Please do not infect my TV with anymore Equestrian coverage. Are they really showing this to a national audience over sports such as judo? I can't believe that there's a big audience for watching a person in a pseudo-tuxedo and top hat trotting up and down some square course on a horse. Pleez!

And speaking of...please just get rid of this sport altogether. How much athletic prowess does it take to make sure a horse goes straight down a line and to make a few jumps anyway? Did you know they're getting rid of softball and baseball as Olympic sports after Beijing? And yet they're keeping this? Softball and baseball are the first sports to be removed from the Olympic games since polo was taken out in 1936. What? Do they even realize how global these 2 sports are?

Other sports they should get rid of....this list does not include sports which I feel are okay to keep, but should not be shown on TV such as rowing, cycling, etc. The following are sports that should just be eliminated. Period.

Synchronized swimming - Yeah, I'm sure it takes a lot of athleticism but women with waterproof makeup, nose clips, and jazz hands in the pool is not something I wanna see.

Synchronized diving - I can watch and even sometimes enjoy individual diving. But I fail to see the need to make it into a duo event.

Trampoline - Are you kidding me? A glorified version of what little 5 year old kids do in their backyard is an Olympic sport?

Rhythmic gymnastics - If you need props like a ball, a twirly ribbon, and a hoop, it shouldn't be an Olympic sport.

Windsurfing and sailing - No particular reason...just don't feel like they belong.
