[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 620395, member: 44360"] I think the Olympic exposure is being way overated in importance particularly here in North America, obviously it's a positive but I'm not sure how much of one, tons of Olympic sports only catch the public's eyes once every four years and jammed in with so many other sports it's not like it gets it's own dedicated window like the 15's Rugby World Cup. I hardly have to hold back my friends from participating or viewing Dressage or Discus in between Olympics, nor do I see floods of women down at the pool participating in synchronized swimming. This is the truth for many sports obviously 7's will be more prestigious than these sports but I think my main point sarcasm aside still stands. I really wish North American sports would move away from needing Olympic participation. Basketball and Ice Hockey could really use properly run World Cups in better time windows. Heck even Baseball is trying to do this (partially succesfully) with the WBC. [/QUOTE]
