Should golf be an olympic sport?

Most defiantly! The sport I question in the Olympics is curling.

It would be cool if football was added ,I mean USA would dominate but a few other countries would be in the mix on a second tier level under what they do ...cool to add another major sport to the olympics like hoops and hockey ,baseball have

Though I am a fan of the NFL etc. the issue American Football faces is it does not span the globe.

A major thrust for those games which might be included in the Olympics is they have a global interest/participation to a considerable degree already. The US would have weak to comically no opposition. It would be no different than trying to promote Aussie Rules football into the games.

The other thing to bear in mind when noting a sport such as Ice Hockey, is they are winter sports/games. The span of games is much smaller because much of the world has little participation as the climates are generally more temperate.

As for games brought into the Olympics or those excluded, they will always be somewhat peripheral and to some degree the decisions political. Some sports last for years and then are removed and others are virtually one and done.

My only criteria would be a strong physical component...so I tend to disagree with the idea e-sports, poker or the likes of drone flying ever being considered seriously.

Well i see what you’re saying I’d also be very opened to in the summer olympics there being the strongest man / woman of the world competition like the series does but at the Olympic level that would be crazy cool to watch and root for and that’s global !

 

[Spheremaster]

That tome would be an instant Olympic hit viewer wise girls and guys both

 

[Luvart]

I think that the football tourney should be removed.

They don't use the regular national men's teams, so not so much glory in this tourney.

I would like to see a mental game, like chess to be added.

 

[ADRI7HO]

They would not remove any sport.
But what I would add to sports is Darts.
While the Olympics would certainly not allow for the usual amazing atmosphere of big TV Darts, it would be the real thing.

 

[namvidnee]

Need to add snooker

 

[orchidra]

I believe baseball, softball and karate will not not feature in the next (2024 Paris) summer Olympics. Replaced by break dancing.

 

[marvinsytan]

bowling should be added

 

[great_young]

Armwrestling should also be added imo.

 

[BillyDuke1989]

I would add such sports as cricket and futsal to the Olympic Games. The first will surely attract the Indian people, who are still indifferent to the Olympics, the second is simply a spectacular and quite popular sport.

 

[Kenzie 96]

Sports that one can be successful at while holding a smoke or a drink in one hand are not going to be Olympic sports.

 

[Garfield52]

Maybe you should add tiddley winks as a sport because ALL countries can compete in that one

 

[Subel007]

Armwrestling should be added
Also i'd like to see CS Go

 

[waynaldo009]

It was a demonstration sport in Tokyo but I believe dragon boat should be added as a medal sport. Get rid of the marathon....just joking.

 

[SerValeMart]

Ice hockey (bandy) should be added to the Winter Olympic sports.

 

[Gah_JEC_13_Joi]

Futsal should be in.
