Stupid question -.-

Rugby should be an olympic sport because it is one of the sports in the world that most countries participate in, unlike a number of others

Because there are no other sports more worthy of inclusion, some of those that are in dont deserve to be. Lets have 15, 13 and 7 aside included

Rugby has a proud tradition of sportsmanship and friendship that fits perfectly into the Olympic tradition. It is also a great team and spectator sport that can only add to the appeal of the greatest sporting festival.

1. It was invented in England and is one of the biggest sports in the country 2. It is one of the most widely played sports in the world next to Soccer and Cricket 3. It brings people of all shapes and sizes together 4. 7s is an exciting fast flowing game 5. 7s is a great spectator sport

Football is in the olypics along with several other sports. Rugby is becoming, if it hasnt already become, a mainstream sport, second only to football so there is no reason that a sport admired and played worldwide in many countries should be ignored in the 'worldwide' competition that is the Olympic Games

The game is fast increasing around the globe with increased support from even non rugby players

Sevens is fast and easy to understand, so everyone can enjoy it.

Rugby should be in the Olympics because it is the ultimate team sport.

Rugby is one of the most popular team games and should be included if football, netball, hockey, ice hockey etc are all Olympic sports despite not drawing the same spectator numbers as rugby.

Fast skillful and will fill Stadiums

Who really wants to watch Archery?

It's a game based upon athleticism which, as the IRB world 7s proves, small and developing countries can excel, growing a game with outstanding core values and culture. It wouild also add a major established spectator sport to the Olympic basket which would be fully competitive.
