Olympic Selection Process simplified /2 spots open

Read in the newspaper today that they simplified the selection process for the summer games. Instead of two thirds vote to get in you only need a majority. There are 26 sports for the summer games after softball and baseball were dropped and they have a limit of 28 sports. That would mean two spots are open.

I guess it will either happen in the next couple of years for powerlifting or we will see FRISBEE and extreme DODGEBALL get some well earned Olympic recognition!!!!!!
