We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

best game in the world,this is were the boys become men

It is a truly global game that is fast and attractive. On any given day any one of 10 or more teams can win. playing fields are level and it makes for a great contest. If it becomes an olympic sport it will become more competitive and also add value to the event.

Quick team sport. Easy to arrange normal tornament 2-3 days

making it an Olympic sport will show the world just how seriously sevens rugby should be taken! GO BOKKE!

Rugby is becoming a international game with a lot fans over the world and it will be great for development.

It is a well supported game rich in tradition and keeps fans on edge. All attributes to the olympic spirit.

It's exciting, it has a very high spectator value. Provides an significance to a nations that would have been marginalized, has played a role in uniting different cultures, esp in South Africa. finally because I am a fan.

It is a high class spectator sport and it epitomises the athletic ideals of the Olympic movement

Sevens rugby is a sport that has brought people together from different social backrounds, race, and ethnic groups. The spirit in which the game is played is unbelievable and incorporates the Olympic ethos.

Rugby is clean. There are no drugs in the sport like so many of the other sports. Lets honour honesty in sport.

Because the players deserve it, the fans deserve it!

Best sport EVER!!

Expand the game with its nation building roles.

So that South Africa can also win the rugby Olympics

It's a great sport!

Rugby embodies the olympic spirit of higher, faster, stronger through fierce physical competition and possesses a sportsmanship found in no other sport.

Rugby is a sport played world wide and players should get a chance to compete and be recognized at a world wide level

The best sport

rugby is the best sport in the world, and for it not to be included in the worsts biggest sporting event is dissgraceful! the olympics is about representing your country, and there is no greater sense of pride then pulling on a RUGBY jersey!!

Why not???. A lot of fans around the world, said YES.

Rugby is a worldwide sport and should be in the Olympics!!!

Rugby should be an olympic sport because it epitomizes the olympic spirit. Many countries of the world (including the USA in recent years) take rugby seriously and there is a lot of national pride involved, which is the point of the olympics. Rugby is a physically demanding sport that requires physical and mental toughness. Although many of the original olympic events were individual events [track, fighting] many of the most popular sports in modern times are team sports. Rugby is a combination of athletes of various skill sets working together to perform a task, score the ball. There is something symbolic about 15 (or 7) men working as a team to put a ball across a line, the ultimate triumph in the ultimate team sport. On the entertainment side of things, seven rugby in particular is a game that involves ball movement, open field tackling, big hits, fast breaks, and a lot of scoring, almost like basketball applied to rugby rules. I believe that sevens rugby would be a hit in the olympics and would involve more national pride than some of the current events that are already olympic sports.

it's the greatest sport !

It is a great spectator sport

It is a top tier sport, with top tier athletes unable to play for the glory of their nation on the olympic level.

because

I think Rugby should be at the Olympics because it is a great sport and you have to show great sportsman ship while playing the game. Even the apposing team has to show respect to the home team and viseversa. I thought that was one of the messages that the Olympics states. Lets give it a go!

we've been waiting so long for this to happen!! It's fun, fast and far more interesting than golf!

because!!!!!!!

It's a sport very special and important

it takes strength, skill and heart

becouse, it is way more Olympic than 90% of the trash they call "An Olympic Event"

Because it's a great sport

This sport, based on mutual respect, fits with all Olympics valors.

One of the oldest sports and one of the biggest played sports in the world.

A great outdoor sports event with just as much excitement as soccer.

i think they should make rugby for olympics because mty friends play

It's easily the most physically demanding sport and puting national teams against each other for country pride is what the Olympics is about. I also believe it says something that at this point the United States has the most supporters for Rugby in the olympics and Rugby doesn't have as big of a following in the USA as in most other countries.

Why not?

Because it´s a worlwide sport that shapes any person completly, by teaching honor, sacrifice, team work, respect, proper beheaviour and team spirit. This sport not only teaches how to play a game but how to live a life.

It is a great sport that takes speed, power and skill. It is great to watch and will keep people entertained.
