My Solution To The Olympics Problem
I was reading at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5850632/ that many sports are going to have a harder time getting included in the Olympics in the future. The International Olympic Committee recently re-evaluated each of the 28 "sports" included in the summer games to determine which should remain. Here's my proposal:
"A sport may remain if and only if it can be reasonably and briefly expressed in terms of the greatest family of sports--hockey"
This results in:
- [summer]
- field hockey
- soccer (foot hockey)
- handball (hand hockey)
- water polo (water hockey)
- polo (horse hockey)
- boxing (net-less hockey)
- street hockey (new!)
- roller hockey (new!)
- [winter]
- ice hockey
- ice soccer (new!)
- ice handball (new!)
- ice polo (new!)
- ice boxing (new!)
Let me know if I left anything off.
