Why are you surprised by this turn of events ?

Tell me if this list makes any sense at all (all olympic sports):

Air sports
Bandy
Baseball
Billiard sports
Boules
Bowling
Bridge
Chess
Climbing
Cricket
DanceSport Golf
Karate
Korfball
Lifesaving
Motorcycle sport
Netball
Orienteering
Pelote Basque
Polo
Powerboating
Racquetball Roller sports
Rugby
Softball
Squash
Sumo
Surfing
Tug of war
Underwater sports
Water skiing
Wushu

I would eliminate 90% of that list. But of course we live in a society where everything is driven by the god-$. So you get the most improbable sponsorships and the entry into the olympic sports category.
