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

Just spit balling here, but would guess that the average pro golfer would rate an Olympics medal above Presidents Cup win and below Ryder Cup.
Not in same universe as Masters, either Open or PGA

My bigger issue is the inclusion of so many not real sports, a bunch of popular activities, that may require some athleticism, but the winner is totally subjective.
Yes.
Soccer players don't want to win the World Cup over Premiere League, so why have it.?
Golfers don't want to win the Ben Hogan over the Masters, why does it exist?
Track athletes have the olympics but they still compete in Penn Relays.
Who's like, I hate this collection of NBA all stars playing basketball and instead of just ignoring it, I'll hope it goes away from everybody?
Some of you all look for weird reasons not to have things.
