What should be dropped from the Olympics?

I say we add some really extreme sports, like shark wrestling or Cobra poking. I'd also like to see football gotten rid of. We've got enough football tournaments.

We have more than enough football (soccer). I hate it. I don't watch any sports except Olympics on TV and occasionally Judo, Sumo or Kendo if they even show it.
Watching sports on TV bores the hell out of me. Yawn!
I agree on the airpistols. Have Yabusame instead.
I just saw a documentary were scientists tried to find out how the original disciplines were fought. The reconstruction of "Pancratio" (full contact fight without rules) was ugly to watch, although staged, it looked like a mean street fight.

The pankration sounded real hardcore. I read of one Olympic winner who was awarded his victory wreath posthumously, yet the loser lived. Apparently, the winner was in a choke-hold and his trachea was crushed, however, before expiring he managed to grab, twist and break his opponent's ankle who then submitted. The victor knew he had won but didn't live much longer.

Makes these WWF, XYZ, wrestling frauds look the real dopes they are.
