    Everyone knows that? I would sincerely doubt anyone outside of the US would “know that”.

    PS. it’s “should have”, not “should of”

    Everyone know that there should of been an extra game. The U.S. should of had to of been beaten twice to win the gold since USA went undefeated all the way up to the champ. game.

    wow get a grip who wants to watch fricken table tennis…exactly nobodyyyy softball owns

  10. snerjeck says:

    Why? Table tennis …
    Why? Table tennis is a much faster paced sport anyway. I think your comment is made without an extensive knowledge of both sports. In my opinion they should both be allowed to stay. What shouldn’t be allowed to stay is that thing where they push the weight down the ice and try to get it to stop on a certain point by brushing the ice in front of it. Half of that game is about drinking alcohol.

    baseball deserves to get the boot hands down the U.S. will never win cuz they have no real representation because the olympics happen in the middle of summer, the olympics are meant to bring the best of the best from around the world, and thts not what happens in baseball(idk about softball)

    God I hope it comes back in 2016. The IOC are a bunch of morons for striking both softball and baseball from the 2012 games.
