It just doesn't make sense. They would rather have nothing then softball and baseball. What in the world would the harm be in having those sports. I could somewhat understand if they had sports replacing them, but they don't.

Ugh.
The harm in baseball/softball would be in the extra cost it takes to build baseball and softball fields in countries that for the most part do not care about baseball/softball.
So because China is really good at Table Tennis so the IOC should get rid of it? Ok, lets ditch Gymnastics too because the Romanians are really good at that. The chinese are good at diving, so that goes. America in track and field, guess we don't need those events either.

Something is not always better than nothing, but it's certainly always more expensive.

Have I mentioned the cost of the Olympics? Someone want to look up what the Athens games cost? I believe it was something around 11.7 billion dollars
