Tennis however i think fits in quite well. Golf will be interesting. I actually like golf and i'm quite looking forward to it  | ||

Olympics is a gigantic business as well as competition. | ||

Would a footballer rather win the Olympics than say EC, WC, CL or even the national championship?? NO! Would a tennisplayer rather win the Olympics than a gran slam? ofc not. Maybe its okay for basket to be there. I´m not sure about that one tbh. | ||

Olympic football is great for 4 reasons: a) gives younger players on national teams stacked with talent a chance to compete internationally in a big tourney. b) gives the south americans a chance for an international tourney in the year of the euros c) gives smaller teams that are not likely to win the world cup a chance at an international tourney (Mexico) d) more competitive than young people tournaments, more prestigious and therefore better for scouting and giving experience to younger potential stars. | ||

If you look at golf, it has a very good media cover but it is very mostly played by rich people in rich countries. Not really what I would call a popular sport. How much does a round of golf cost? How much for a year if you play 1 or 2 rounds a day? And a full set of clubs that are good enough to be reasonably competitive? How much does it cost to be a soccer player? | ||

The argument that sports that have other far more prestigious major professional leagues shouldn't be in the Olympics is hardly an elitist one. Whether it's right or not is a different argument. | ||
