If you want to drop sports, lets start with biathalon.
Do you really want to piss off the people with the guns?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Since you can't cross country ski into my city, I'm safe.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

They need more sports, not less. Look how many countries don't even participate in the winter games. And most of the ones that do send tiny delegations. Put some popular indoor sports in there, like basketball.

Problem is that the professional basketball season runs right in the middle of the Winter Olympics. I doubt the NBA is going to want to put a 2 week break in like the NHL is willing to do.

Invisible cheating even.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Because between Brodeur over playing the damn puck outside his net & the NHL players losing the habit of seeing their goaltender doing that everyone is lost.

If Wikipedia seedings are correct, then if Canada loses they will play Germany followed by Russia in the quarterfinals.
