Olympics  > General Olympics  > The Olympics are watered down...

The Olympics have lost some credibilty due to the constant introduction of "non-sports" like trampolining (s/p), rythmic gymnastics (which I know, has been there for awhile), and the removal of baseball/softball. Not everyone can be an olympian. Is this true? Should the Olympics quit introducing sports, remove the "fluffly" ones, and get back to basics?
