We want Rugby at the Olympic Games:

One of the best sports ever to watch at all levels and to be apart from

I am an athlete and rugby is the only sport that has truly challenged me. You learn something new at every practice and every match. It is such a dynamic and fast-paced game. Anyone can play regardless of age, sex, or size. It truly is a team sport. You have to work together to win. It brings people together and emphasizes camaraderie. I love this game.

Rugby is the ultimate team sport.

yes!

Because it is the greatest team sport on the planet earth.

its a world wide played sport that takes more hard work and skill than the majority of the sports in the olympics now

This would give me incentive to actually watch something other than ice skating. Plus rugby is the best sport!

Rugby is the best spectator sport going

people should learn more about rugby and how it is played.. once one person brings a knife! so what.. itll never happen again!!!!!

BECAUSE ITS FREAKIN AWSOEMAZING YES THATS A WORD!

Rugby is way better Sport then Football...Foot ball is for suckers...ohh...and because its freakin sick

Well why shouldn't it be?

It has a long past, and it should have a long future. It is an exciting and intense game to watch and play

An exciting and dynamic event.

Rugby combines intelligence, speed, endurance, and technique into one amazing game to both play and watch.

because if curling is an Olympic sport rugby should definitely be

Rugby should be in the Olympics because it is loved and enjoyed just as much as any sport in the Olympics.

Why shouldn't it be???

It is a unique team sport that brings together many people worldwide and breaks down barriers!

Because it is a sport were all aspects of athletics need to be at the highest of levels, from endurance and speed to strength and will power It also is a sport of great national pride that many countries I feel lack.

its way more exciting than a lot of the other sports, its been around for a long time and a lot more countries play

Rugby is a fast paced and exciting spectator sport and the sportsmanship on and off the field is shared between teammates and their opponents!

You said it best: Fast, entertaining, and social!

Because rugby is one of the few pure sports left. Other sports can learn a thing or two about sportsmanship by watching us ruggers perform on a grander scale.

I believe rugby has alot to offer in the olympic circle. The game has reached almost every country and state in the globe from Rugby 7s tournaments to mass media. Rugby has supported the olympic objective in almost every facet of its game,"to bring out the best sportsmanship and sportwomanship even winning is not achieve. I am all for rugby to the olympic planet. Cheers!!!

The greatest team sport in the world

Long traditional, global, sport that is not given its proper respect

IT'S THE SPORT YOU PLAY IN HEAVEN

There's no better example of sportsmanship and athleticism!

It is a world-popular sport, more so than many other events that are currently included in the Olympic Games. Rugby has a world-wide following that would love to see their sport represented at this level.

Seven's Rugby is perfect for the Olympics~~it is fast, entertaining and a top sport overseas. It will draw more expatriates and overseas fans to support the Olympics. Since it has grown by leaps and bounds in the USA, Olympic support will put you on the cuting edge of a sport loved by millions. You put us in the Olympics twice~~let's do it again. Thank you, loyal supporter since 1978

Because it's an awesome sport!!

First of all it is the most exciting game played today. Nothing can compare to the fast pace, hard hitting, non stop action of Rugby.

It is an extremely challenging sport that offers a different dynamic than any other sport out there.

its aggressive, highly competetive, and the parties after are amazing

If curling is in the Olympics, rugby definitely should be.

Its a sport isnt it =) Plus other countries take the game seriously, there is nothing amateur about it.

Rugby is a fast paced dynamic sport that inlcudes stamina and strength it provides the hard hitting contact and action that modern sports fans are looking for.

Rugby is highly international, being played in many countries worldwide. It is also played by men and women, and it offers countries like Argentina, Fiji, and Kenya the opportunity to win medals. In additon, it is extremely exciting to watch.

It's the ultimate in contact sports and allows for people of many different shapes and sizes to play. Its been around longer than a lot of the sports already featured in the Olympics and is popular in many countries around the world.

Because it is an important athletic event to many individuals, and it deserves to to recognized.

It would be like the world cup in alternate years. It would be huge for the sport, and it would help promote it across the world.

It's definitely more of a sport than trampoline

rugby is a true sport

Because I said so

Rugby is amazing!

Because it is a wonderful sport that deserves a world stage

I love the sport and other people would too if they had the chance to watch and learn about it!

Because it was in the original Olympics and it has earned enough merit over hundreds of years to be qualified to be in the Olympics.
