- Baseball and Softball need to be back. The notion that it doesn't belong is a Eurocentric view because the Americas, Australia, Asia and even some African Nations have embraced it. Meanwhile sports like Handball and Badminton which are very provincial make the cut.

- Golf. Way too global to not make it.

-Rugby 7s is fun to watch and probably the only way they can have a tournament in such a short time.

- American Football is probably impossible because of the short time of the Olympics. They already have a 19u World tournament though, and the US does not win it everytime, including this year(though we seem to always field a team of 3 star talent instead of 5 stars). I think some would be surprised that countries like New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Germany and Switzerland have fielded pretty good teams. Takes a month to run a proper round robin.

- Auto Racing would be hard because of the many disciplines involved. You could do Superbike, a generic formula car, bullring type racing on bikes and open wheelers and probably even sports cars and a rally division. Most places that would host the games would have these types of tracks. A lot of the international series are on their summer breaks right now. Would add to the medal count of Australia, Germany and Spain

Come on you don't have to lie to prove your point. :leostare:

Asia embraced baseball? Try 3 countries including Taipei. That's marginal.

Africa? :usure:

The biggest South America nations don't care about it. It's centered around North and Central America/the Caribbean.

I reiterate, i honestly do not understand why 20/20 cricket isn't in, and i don't even like cricket.

Is it something to do with the format being owned or something?

Added:
Darts(ffs!!)
Rugby
Cricket(20/20, would be great)
Golf

Mostly because we'd have great medal chances in them .

Removed:
Judo(boring)
Equestrian(even though we're good, it's terrible)

Archery is great, fukk getting rid of that.

F1 would be good but it would never happen as the season goes on during the olympics, and they've got too much money to be making to compete for silly gold medals tbh. Plus you'd have to give them stock cars. Plus only 3/4 countries would be able to field a team. Plus there's just no way f1 would allow them to compete. F1 is a pipe dream :sadcam:

I think Rugby will be in it in 2016.

American Football (its growing slowly around the world, though might not be dominant with football leagues in Europe, Australia, and Japan, there's even a world championship just like FIFA and FIBA)
