Yet I have to wonder why baseball and softball aren't good enough to make the cut, yet Rugby 7's is.Probably the reusability of the venue. Outside or North America, Latin America, and the Far East, the baseball and softball venues won't ever be used enough to make them worth the cost to build them. On the other hand (and I'm not very familiar with rugby 7's so this may be wrong), the rugby field probably will be reused enough to make it worth building, if not for rugby then soccer or even American football (again, not familiar, I'm guessing the field sizes are similar). Throw in MLB refusing to allow it's players to take part in the baseball competition and a little anti-American bias against USA-dominated softball from the Eurocentric IOC and you end up with both getting cut.
