Sports like basketball, golf, soccer even be in the Olympics? I don't believe for a second that anyone on the basketball team wouldn't trade a gold medal for an NBA championship and that's fine. That's what they grew up wanting, not the Olympics. I doubt there is a golfer that wouldn't trade a gold medal for a Players Championship, much less one of the majors. Soccer players want to win a World Cup. If it isn't the top of the profession should they even include it?
Should sports whose ultimate goal isn't the Olympics be in the Olympics?

What do the breakdancers want I wonder?
Breakin' 2 Electric Bugaloo was the best of the two breakdancing movies EVER!
I always thought soccer in the Olympics was dumb, same for golf.
Basketball is fine because country teams don't play each other like in soccer in other events..to my knowledge.
Noticed they've removed baseball and softball. Tho, baseball is tough bc the Olympics take place during the mlb season and that effects several countries not just the US....Dominican, etc
