heywoodu 15,253 Posted September 7, 2023 #322 Share Posted September 7, 2023 By the way, there are nine sports on the list going for inclusion...is there a minimum or maximum number of sports to be selected? Like, do they have to select something, or can they choose to go with none of these sports? Or in the other side, can they choose to go for all nine, theoretically? Or is it a matter of choosing specifically X sports? .

Dragon 1,887 Posted September 7, 2023 #326 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Exclusive: Cricket and flag football still on course for inclusion at Los Angeles 2028, as modern pentathlon looks to have saved itself https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1140595/la28-sports-cricket-flag-football-added Roamingrover86, Josh, canadafan2024 and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/11860-summer-olympic-games-los-angeles-2028-sports-programme/page/33/#findComment-578154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 3,116 Posted September 7, 2023 Author #327 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Genuinely shocked to see Modern Pentathlon survive once again. Very glad, however, that Weightlifting is safe. Given so many media reports from various sources (and reading the tea leaves somewhat) it seems quite certain that Breaking, Cricket and Flag Football (ugh) are in, with Baseball/Softball being on the bubble.

Expand ITG’s reporting makes it seem like LA28 wants flag football, but isn’t entirely sold on cricket, while the IOC wants cricket, but isn’t sold on flag football. I do feel like including both is a fair compromise, but they need to figure how the quota distribution will affect other sports. The point about who’s footing the bill for all the new inclusions is something I hadn’t considered either. NearPup and Josh 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Expand It would be crazy for the IOC not to push cricket .... it will earn huge amounts for the IOC on television rights in the sub continent alone ....the recent world cup of cricket television rights to cricket were sold for 3 billion dollars.... I am not sure in which sport the television rights sell for so much with the exception of football, And possibly tennis With the enormous diaspora in America / Canada of Indians , if they get a rare chance to see world class cricket in US they will buy tickets like crazy ..... I really find some of the comments that it is a difficult sport to understand or that it is not followed in Europe really limited in their world view. Cricket is not one of those sports followed by a few thousand or million. It is the second most followed sports in the world with over 2.5 billion viewers, second only to soccer . It is an extremely rich sport as well. I think the reason that it has not been in the Olympics already is that the cricket association is parochial and has not been open to the integration. With the board open now , it is only for IOC to benefit hugely by the inclusion.

Noorderling29 167 Posted September 8, 2023 #330 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I assume the subcontinent pays for the tv rights right now. Are you suggesting they pay more just because cricket is added? The fact that Cricket is not popular in parts of the world in itself is no reason to not include it. The same could be said for other sports that are currently included.
