That is stupid. Wasn't wrestling one of the original sports the Greeks did in the first Olympics? Of course, they did it naked, but still. If they were going to get rid of a righting sport, why not Taekwando?
Look at it this way, if Rodgers had Allstate instead of State Farm, he'd be protected from mayhem like this

What a joke. Wrestling is an original Olympic sport, and it's not like barely anyone competes in it.
Also, does each sport's governing body have a member on the IOC? It doesn't make sense that a sport being voted on for removal should be allowed a vote, which apparently the Modern Pentathlon was.

Almighty dollar rules supreme. They even said that quite a few of the major criterion were income generation. Wrestling was among the LEAST popular sports and field a lower TV rating than the majority of events.
From a functional prospective it's hilarious. The Olympics were wrestling, track, and field. Period.

I wouldn't call a skeet shooter an athlete per se.
I would not call a skeet shooter an athlete in any sense of the definition of athlete, but that's a whole other argument.
The fact that wrestling has now been relegated to the same level as "Roller Sports" is hilarious. This isn't the ******* X Games, have some integrity IOC.
As a side, I barely even watch wrestling or care if the US wins in it or not. But I certainly would rather watch it over some more ridiculous "sports".

Next thing you know, they are going to take curling away from us.
If they get rid of curling, I'm going to go ape ****. Some of those female curlers are fine. Have you seen the nude pics of the girls from the Denmark team?

Whoa, whooooaa...my blood pressuer is already up from this, don't go saying things that will make me want to burn this mother down. Curling is all that is good in the world, to do away with it would be a slap in the face to the almighty flying spaghetti monster in the sky.

So wait, ballroom dancing gets to stay, but one of the ORIGINAL OLYMPIC SPORTS is getting the axe? This will be bad for collegiate wrestling, too. This is ********.
So dumb but I am not surprised, they can say whatever they want but it is probably because it is "too violent" or something. Of all the events in the Olympics they decide to axe wrestling. I watched a guy **** his pants powerwalking in the last Olympics. The pussification continues.

I don't think ballroom dancing is an acutal Olympic Sport. It's recognized, but it is not in the Olympics. You know what are olympic sports:
Trampoline Jumping
Dressage (yeah, not even jumping. Just a horse prancing around like he gives exactly zero *****)
Badminton
Ping Pong
Pretty soon they'll replace swimming with XBox, track and field with hopscotch, and basketball with jump rope.
