Because they needed the space for ballroom dancing?
I don't know...
Whatever the reason is, I'm positive it's lame.http://flotn.blogspot.com

kicking baseball out for no reason at all was stupid but why keep picking on soccer? We get it, you don't like soccer. Stop baiting people into an argument about it.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Basically baseball got kicked out because it needs large expensive venues to play in and 99% of the world didnt not care about olympic baseball. Remember olympic baseball was really who had the best AAA players. Only Cuba really sent their "best" players.ND Season Ticket Holder since '72.Comment

Re: How come baseball got kicked out of the Olympics but soccer didn't?
Just because you don't consider it a sport, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't either.
But to answer your painfully obvious OP: IOC wants MLB to allow its best players to play. MLB says it'll work on that (read: fat chance in hell that we're ever gonna stop a season in progress for you fools). The end.
Difference with soccer is that its Olympic competition is a U-19 amateur tournament or something (exceptions is that I think each country may reserve 1-2 spots for older pro play, obvious because they also have the World Cup - Brazil used Ronaldinho and Argentina used Messi for this exception last year in Beijing).
Okay, go back to soccer hatin'.Last edited by CoRruPt-; 03-31-2009, 04:15 PM.Comment
