Well, shooting and archery are out- weapons.
Javelin is out...if you don't think its a weapon, ask any roman-era warrior and he'll tell you that you are suffering from cranial-rectal insertion.
Discus? Someone said it was based on a weapon and I'll believe him.
Fencing? Gone.
Judo? No weapons but it's a martial art. It glorifies killing. Yeah yeah, its a grappling style, but once you have your foe downed what are you gonna do? Shake hands and call it a day?
Boxing? Gone.
Wrestling? Same deal.
Karate/Tae Kwon Do? Outta here.
Gee. We're left with synchronized swimming and curling. Those will be a some wild times at the 2004 Olympics.
I said it before, I'll say it again. EEEEEEEEEEEEEdiot!

PS I'm gonna go out now and have fun with my old set of Lawn Darts. Maybe I'll put out someone's eye.
