We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

It would become the most popular Olympic sport

It's World Class

It is a sport filled with incredibly talented athletes that deserve the Olympic title as much as any football player or ski jumper. It takes discipline and endurance and would surely be an honor to claim Olympic medal status in such a wonderful long-lived sport

Its a great sport

Why is the world's most physical, athletic, thrilling sport not an Olympic game?

Ping pong and racquetball are olympics sports? Why not get a real sport in there.

Rugby is an amazing sport that requires so much skill and is so exciting to watch. It is extremely popular sport worldwide so what reason is there for not making it an Olympic sport when hundreds of countries have national rugby teams already??

One of the most popular sports in the world.

Rugby is an international sport that has good athletes that can complete at the highest level possible.

Rugby is as much as a world sport as every other sport. Maybe even more so than basketball and baseball which have both been dominated by a few key teams. If gymnastic dancing is considered to be athletic enough for the Olympics, then rugby should be more than qualified. People all over the world would watch it, and it would be great for the sport and the Olympics overall in many different ways.

Rugby is more popular & international than many sports played in Olympics

It is truely a world sport

The question is why isn't it? Rugby players exemplify the true gladiators of today!

It is a skillful and challenging game that should be in the Olympics to recognize those who have mastered and dedicated themselves to the sport.

It's an international sport in every sense of the term. If an even like Curling can be in the Olympics, why not a sport that has a rich and storied history of building relationships and relations between nations?

it would actually make the olympics entertaining.

the toughest, roughest game on earth has to be an olympic sport.

It is a great world sport!

It is a fast paced game that requires strength, endurance, and athletic ability but doesn't require a dominant physical speciman - the average person can play and enjoy watching it. The games are short but very action packed. Please seriously consider adding rugby back into the Olympics.

Because it's amazing!!!

It is a huge world wide sport! Why not?

If Curling can do it, so can Rugby.

Rugby is the most popular amateur team sport in the world.

Many people I love, including myself and my partner, are extremely passionate about the sport. It is definitely one of the most important aspects of our lives. We wouldn't be the incredible women we are today without rugby. Please include this beautiful sport in the Olympics.

because its more of a sport tan curling, and its amazing

It is an amazing game, and ad amazing group of people play it. Seriously, I have met the most interesting people through rugby.

Why is it not in the Olympics is the true question! It is the greatest ame in the world, and all the best teams rely on true TEAMWORK to win!

Beach volleyball is an Olympic sport? Need I say more.

Because rugby is the most physically and mentally challenging sport and it is the true test of an athletes abilities and characters.

it's a complicated, awesome sport that is fun to play and watch

It is a great game. much more interesting than track events or biking.

HOW MANY MORE SIGNATURES DO WE NEED?...this is my third time signing up cuz i have 2 e-mail accounts and 1 school account...HOW MANY MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because it is one of the few remaining sports where the teams really represent the characteristics of the country, the 14 min program is ideal and it represents some of our most talented athletes. Strength, speed, endurance, agility and it requires truly working as a team. It is also a very engaging sport. Anyone who has been to the games in San Diego would agree!

Seeingas Rugby is a sport, it deserves the same opportunities as other sports! If we can compete in beach volleyball, we should damn well be able to showcase our talents!

It's an amazing sport, that is as difficult as any other one. There are great athletes involved in this sport, and i believe they deserve recognition individually as well as part of a team.

If trampoline is a "sport" played in the Olympics, I don't understand why Rugby, a true sport, cannot be held in contention.

It is truly an athletic sport

Just cause.

It's one of the most pure team sports on the planet.

Why should Rugby be Olympic? How could it not be? The Olympic Spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie is on display before, during and after rugby matches across the globe from amateurs and pros alike. Never mind that the game itself is the greatest test of teamwork, determination and raw athletic skill around.

Best team sport in the world
