this list is not meant to demean the events, but it is based on which sport would beat another sport if they competed in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania:
(Note that there are sports that I somehow do end up watching, like swimming, gymnastics, basketball, and volleyball)
1) Team Handball: I enjoy this sport. I really do. Each time I see it, I wonder why it isn't more popular. So why don't I actually watch it during the Olympics?
2) Water Polo: Shout-out to one of my college roommates, a Water Polo-er who talked about how physical the game was.
3) Badminton: This is an awesome event, but maybe I'd watch more if it were in a backyard.
4) Breaking: I really meant to watch.
5) Rugby: To be fair, this is a fairly recent addition to the Summer Games.
6) Judo: The only combat-related spot I watched for years was boxing, but I think that was because boxing was so common on TV coverage.
7) Table Tennis: See Badminton, but replace "backyard" with "dingy basement."
8) Trampoline: It is kind of cool, but it's not the kind of thing I seek out.
9) Archery: They could be allowing trick arrows like Oliver Queen uses for all I know, and I wouldn't be aware.
10) Taeknwondo: See Judo.
