We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

If the olympics were made for competition then when not have the greatest sport. Rugby.

Rugby has such a world wide appeal that I can't believe that it's NOT in the Olympics.

It is an international sport and very popular.

It is the second-most popular sport in the world. If soccer is an Olympic sport, then rugby should be too!

Rugby is truely on of the most competitive, inclusive and athletic sports in the world. It displays the attributes most exemplified in Olympic tradition, fair competition and true sportsmanship.

The Olympics bring the world together in a demonstration of sportsmanship. Rugby represents all the desirable qualities in an Olympic sport and would has competitive teams from all corners of the earth.

Because rugby is so important for countries like The Cook Islands, New Zealand, Tonga, Samoa, South Africa, Argentina, etc. These countries are not typically represented in the Olympics, yet in Rugby they would be standouts. Rugby 7's could be played in a three day venue with excitement and bring in a huge following both in the stands and on television.

Second most played sport in the world, behind soccer.

Because its better then soccer (football), american football and is a world sport.

Globally played game with more fans in more countries then baseball.

Rugby embodies the Olympic spirit of friendship, fair play, honor, peace and glory. It joins competition and camaraderie in the best way possible.

gives people a chance to see what rugby is enjoy and have them start playing rugby and continue the sport

it is the second most popular sport in the world and is a fun intense game to watch

It's a sport that focuses on the effort of the team and not the individual. You have to work as a single unit to achieve success!

Rugby is an athletic, entertaining and stimulating sport for both the athlete and viewers. The real question is why isn't Rugby an Olympic sport?

Rugby is just as if not harder as soccer, basketball, and hockey, and requires diverse skills and has a huge wow factor when watching.

Ir brings more people together from all over the country to play a sport that is played like hooligans but played by gentlemens

This is one of the world's more popular sport and in some countries, the most popular. The rugby community is as dedicated as the communities of any other sport and many people are wondering why it hasn't been made Olympic ages ago. It should defiantly have its place among the best athletic event of our times.

It is one of the most popular sports in the world. Also, it is growing in popularity especially in the US and making it an Olympic sport would only help it grow.

Rugby is a very interesting and exciting sport. With the skills of soccer, strategy of basketball, and the big hits of football

Best sport in the world

Because this is the most extreme sport there could be out in the world, and if you have Football in the Olympic's then you should also have Rugby to.

Rugby is the best sport ever!!!!

Amazing sport, big hits = a lot of fun

Besides having a world wide participation level higher than many current olympic sports, the physical demands of rugby are among the highest in the sporting world.

There is not a more physically demanding sport which incorporates as much teamwork as rugby does

Greatest sport in the world!!!!!

Rugby should be Olympic because it is the b best sport known to man and everyone loves it. It would be a great addition to the Olympics because it is one of the oldest sports around.

Rugby is the most exciting and most team-oriented sport in the world.

It it fast paced, enjoyed by fans throughout the world. Second largest sport in the world.

7's Rugby would be a great add to the olympic games, it is exciting, fast paced, fans love it, london already has venues that would work just fine (as does just about all future host cities), easy to have both men's and women's team, most countries already have team structure in place.

It is well overdue to make a comeback!

So we can have more reason to attend the olympics.

Rugby should be an olympic sport

It is just as much a sport as any other Olympic event, and much more popular around the world than many.

It should be part of the olympics because it needs to put its name out there and it's such a fun sport to watch

I have been a liason manager at San Diego IRB 7's for the last two yrs...both events were the most exciting days of rugby I've had in 25 yrs.
