8 Proposed Sports for 2012 Olympics

There are 2 problems with the Olympics. They are boring, and not nearly challenging enough. These are supposed to be the best athletes in the _world_ yet all they have to do is run in a straight line or hit a ball over a net. I'm proposing to both spice things up and upping the difficulty factor.
Here are some proposed sports for the 2012 Olympics with a Photoshop'd mockup.
8 - Water-Soccer

Unlike most sports, the Olympics is primarily watched be females. They need to concentrate on getting more of a male demographic.
For this sport, imagine those hot Brazilian volleyball players getting sweaty, then having to arch over the net and fall into the dirt. I'm pretty sure that would get a 90% male audience.
5 - Moto-Surfing
4 - Tennis Rodeo
3 - Skeet Bowling
2 - Real "Football"
1 - Skeet Motocross

american football sucks. only the kickers touch the ball with their feet and nobody cares about kickers. how about calling american football soccer and calling football, well, football.

American football players might be bigger and stronger but they're not more athletic. It's a simple game when we play for 8 seconds then rest for 35.

which one would draw a larger audience (both TV and live). Seems to me that football draws millions to stadiums and TV every weekend during the season. Sucker, i mean soccer, draws much less attention and I can't even tell which network carries major leauge sucker, i mean soccer. Think about it!!

I'm with you cornhusker...American football is a well played game of strategy...while soccer is basically a bunch of guys running around chasing a ball up and down the field and is excruciatingly boring to watch aside from the few times a game someone actually tries to make a shot at the goal.

Gee, last time I checked football... I mean soccer(for the outside-of-the-US- sports-challenged) is the most popular sport in the WORLD. American Football is great, the only problem is: it's not FOOTball, i don't think this point has been strecth enough FOOT as the singular of FEET as in you use your FOOT. All I can figure out is that you cannot use your feet for something as easy as kicking a ball... Think about it!!!!

Nevermind football and soccer, you want to see "tough guys", check out a rugby match.

rugby wouldn't be accepted in america because all of the mommies wouldn't approve of playing without pads

How about Ski-Jousting? (Two Ski Jump Ramps facing each other, with the jumpers going off simultaneously and both armed with lances and shields)

football is becomeing the most prolific sport in the world. There are about 6 sanctions of the NFL in about 6 to ten countries. Also what about all the foreign players in Europe that play in the NFL Europe league. I know for a fact that there are teams in othewr countries because I have friends that hav played in a game in Japan and are going to play in 7 national games, so dont tell me that Real Football isn't popular.

Hey Rudy... It's called HOCKEY, dumbass.

when the USA made a cheap copy of rugby and decided that men should wear pads and protection all over. Why not steal the name as well? Football! 1.The football is not even a ball 2.The FOOT actually kicks the ball for a few times in the game. Football should own football and american football should be called american rugby or helmetball or something

NFL Fans- Drunk, fat and Stupid: it's not mystery that the naming convention for "Football" remained static since 1889. Besides, American football is a derivative of "futbol" aka, soccer. Refer to the history...
