Bad Sports

Since 1896, 10 sports have been removed from the Olympics. They include croquet, polo, tug-of-war, and something called jeu de paume, which I always thought was a strange name for a museum in Paris. (So, naturally, I had to look it up. The jeu de paume, or game of palm [aka palm game], sounds very much like handball.) Of course, they have been replaced by others, and two ~ golf and rugby ~ have made a comeback: http://topendsports.com/events/discontinued/index.htm and http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetorch/2012/07/24/157304683/olympic-sports-we-dont-see-any-more-and-why
