Golf has no business in the Olympics. Neither does tennis, really. If the Olympics are not at least arguably the biggest event in your sport, it shouldn't be on the program. It becomes just another tournament. In wrestling, it is the culmination of four years of hopes and dreams.

The IOC have lost their fricking minds...
I remember the program started in inner city NY or Chicago that was offering young people a way out of poverty and crime through wrestling...

I refuse to even believe this. Wrestling?!?!? That's the last sport they should ever cut. Not only should wrestling not get cut, but bjj should be added....

The best part is that the IOC could have dropped the incredibly corrupt boxing; a sport that was completely discredited by bribe scandals in London last summer.
I don't mind the inclusion of team sports like soccer, basketball, ice hockey etc. They generate revenue and are usually much more entertaining than some of the other Olympic disciplines.

Horse trotting & prancing is serious business y'all
