No Baseball or Softball for 2012!!!!

There is a clear difference between a sport and a game. Sports involve physical competition, to compare bodily abilities, and poker is a purely mental game. A home computer could do it, but a computer could not play basketball or swim.

Baseball was the only "sport" fat people could could win.

Rugby. I LOVE rugby players

Maybe the IOC can give us a little love too. I was readin an article in Sports Illustrated that said rugby is gonna be the next sport included in the games.

Baseball was the only "sport" fat people could could win.

Football (US), wrestling, boxing, sumo, celtic games, strong man, weight lifting, throwing events in track and field...

Every "fat" guy who ever did well in baseball had some muscle to back it up. You just have to find the "muscle" sports.

Babe ruth and david wells had/have no muscle. Those are fat men.

Paintballing, archery, fencing, and kindo.

Archery and Fencing are already Olympic events...
I'd like to see Muay Thai/Kickboxing. There are some good fighters from all over the world, and there's already boxing/tae kwon do/judo, so why not muay thai?

to the guy who said US football, what's the point? the US is the only country that even plays the sport, except for the CFL, and that's 75% American anyway...

... I can't hit a home run, its not for lack of coordination, I just don't have the muscle to get it over the fence.

I don't know much about wells (I'm not really a baseball fan) but, I'm guessing he was a slugger as well...

He is a pitcher, a fat pitcher.

... again bigger guns than me. I'm sure I could kill him in a distance run, but he's strong enough to get a baseball moving way faster than I could dream of throwing...

To flesh... if you read my post I wasn't suggestion football (us) should be an olympic sport, just noting that there are "fat guy" sports out there besides baseball.
