Maybe now roller hockey will get its due.
SINGAPORE - Baseball and softball weren’t big hits among International Olympic Committee members.Both American-invented sports were dropped Friday from the program for the 2012 Olympics in London — the first events cut from the Summer Games in 69 years.
Each of the 28 existing sports was put to a secret vote by the IOC, and baseball and softball failed to receive a majority required to stay on the program. The other 26 sports made the cut.
The IOC will consider replacing them with two sports from a list of five: golf, rugby, squash, karate and roller sports. That decision will be made Saturday.
Or maybe scooter football?
