But I can't say I am with on disregarding snowboarding as a sport worthy of being in the olympics. Sure they are pulling strings to pull in the younger generations and keep the numbers up but if we are willing to include alpine skiing then snowboarding should be included also. So if you advocate the olympics returning to their authentic origins would you endorse a UFC style event in future olympic games :) I'm all for it!!

I've always been puzzled by "sports" that are subjectively judged. Not to mention tacky as hell in the case of "Ice Dancing". It makes me cringe.
