Right there with your King Charles. IOC president Jacques Rogge has been trying to get rid of baseball and softball since 2002 and he failed, so he made up this little vote so people could vote agaisnt it without fear of retribution.

The fact that TABLE TENNIS and HANDBALL are still olmypic sports is a joke.

As for who cares about Softball, a lot of people. A LOT. It is starting to be played all over the world and was gaining a lot of popularity around here. Yes, we dominated, but by 2012, it is quite possible other countires could catch up.

I hope this decision results in Rogge's eventual removal, and I do hope they list the balloting and who voted the sports out. Make them stand up to their decision. It sounds like there is a lot of internal bickering going on as it is.
