We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

Because there is no better sport in the world

Because it's considerably more challenging than shuffleboard and more internationally participated than baseball.

Why shouldn't rugby be an Olympic sport!?!? Even a sevens format would be better than nothing, and would lend itself well to the fast-and-furious nature of Olympic sports.
