Post Olympic sports you'd like to see!
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 11:35 AM by Beware the Beast Man
Since bridge is new this year, I'll opt for Uno.
I'd also like to see competitive slapfighting and lawn darts.

Did I miss any?

EDIT- slapfighting is that game where one person holds out their hand palms down, and another places their hand palms up. The trick is to try and slap the opponent's hands...I think you know it :)

22. Softball and Women's (gym) Volleyball.
Yes. They're already Olympic events. But I would like to SEE THEM! -- I'd like to see entire games/matches from start to finish with nothing cut out.

That'll be the day. NBC sucks.

25. I watched the USA/Australia softball game start to finish on Bravo.
You might have to leave the NBC mothership, but there are actually events aired live on the cable networks. :-)

35. Pranktarion
... I think something along the lines of Ultimate Fighting would bring the Olympics back to it's roots.

Paintball could be a good event. And I'll echo that dodgeball hasn't received the attention it deserves at the pro, amateur, Olympic and ADULT levels ;-)

Rugby.
