Softball was removed from the Olympics in 2012. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) took a secret vote and eliminated 2 out of 28 sports. Those sports were softball and baseball. The IOC is located in Lausanne, Switzerland. This means Europe is a heavy influence on the IOC. Baseball and softball are both popular in North and South America as well as east Asia. However, not very popular in Europe. This makes it unfair to all the softball and baseball fans and players who participated in the Olympics prior to the removal of the sports. Softball should be added back into the Olympics.
