Ping Pong is awesome, the guys always look so serious. Softball deserves to be dropped simply because the US is so dominating. They only gave up 1 run so far this olympics and that wasn't even an earned run. While they put up 50+ runs and if it weren't for the mercy rule it'd be well over 100. They should keep baseball, at least thats competitive. Too bad its gonna be gone.

Table tennis is great. It doesn't get any respect here in the States because Americans aren't any good at it. Table tennis is a very popular sport outside North America. It's hard for me to take beach volleyball seriously. I'm a huge tennis fan but I don't think it should be an Olympic sport. Baseball, basketball, soccer shouldn't be in the Olympics as far as I'm concerned.

Don't take this the wrong way, but what's next? Fuzball, air hockey, horse shoes, billiards. Table tennis may be a fun sport, but it doesn't belong in the Olympics.

Cause you know, Jon Daly made that vital decision to play golf or track, to exude his awesome atheletic prowess.

Has to be the 100 metres, since history suggests they're all on drugs: ben johnson, marion jones, justin gaitlin, maurice greene, flo-jo, linford christie, tim montgomery, etc etc.).
Donovan Bailey is the only 100m winner in the last 20 years not caught, and frankly anyone who wins at all must be under suspicion (given the huge advantage dopers have, and the fact several like Marion Jones were never caught via testing).

Don't know for certain if it's still an Olympic sport but when they had Ballroom Dancing on I'd leave the room.
What's next? Why don't they have the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest for the summer games?
To many non-traditional sports are trying to crack into the big leagues.

Ready for NCAA Hoops

Speed walking, OR there is some event where dude sits on a horse and WALKS around. No running, jumping, nothing. I think its called the equestrian event.

I have to agree with those that said Tramboline! My jaw dropped this morning when I went to the NBC website and saw an article about how good this one girl was. REALLY?? Tramboline??
How can you say Tennis doesn't belong? I love watching Federer and Nadal play.
I'm just glad you guys didn't say soccer ; )

You associate table tennis with fussball and other forms of relaxation. I've played table tennis at a pretty high level, and in my experience it's one of the most intense sports on the planet. Total concentration and intensity. Lightning fast, like fencing without sabers.
I'm in favor of dropping the 100 meter dash, one of my all time favorites, because it's become a symbol of juiced athletes.

Actually like trampoline.
But I hate equestrian..... not the one where they jump over stuff, but the one where they just ride around. And you get a medal for that crap??????

If trampoline is a sport then why not have potato sack races.

All the swimming events besides freestyle. A swim race should just be to see who goes through the water fastest. That's it.
No special races for the slower freak strokes.
Like in track, the 100m dash is the 100m dash. It's a test of who runs fastest. And that's what it should be. They don't need a 100m running sideways and a 100m running backwards and a 100m skipping - and then do them all at every distance and have a whole bunch more medley relays besides.
No sir, I don't like it.
