Should darts be in the olympic games?

Since its the season of retarded polls, heres a a classic one.

When it was asked 5 years ago everyone here almost unanimously said no. Lets see if things have changed.

Skateboarding and BMX are fine, it's that horsey nonsense I have an issue with. Golf obviously shouldn't be in, in rugby they have sevens which is sensible, if they are to have men's football in, it should be futsal, tennis, I dunno, maybe just have doubles I guess

The main reason why darts shouldn't be at the Olympics is that there's no way you're having me cheering on Price! :lol:

At this point something has been added that goes against each of the big arguments against darts.

Shooting for the non physical event, equestrianism for non olympic physiques, golf/tennis for "the competitors wont give a toss because no money" etc.

Either get rid of all the stodge or go full panto and add darts. At least it would be good to watch unlike some of the other dross.

Schedule on a normal year is hectic enough, also don’t think the game is global enough yet for it to be worth doing, same can be said for baseball though

No from me

If you're going by what is and isn't a sport, then yes it should be, alongside Cricket and Golf, but....

No for me personally, for another reason. Will mongs claim it to be more prestigious than a World title or majors? Would it be accepted in the game as the ultimate career goal?

Too much confusion, professional darts has never been better than just before Covid and we're hopefully almost back. No need to fuck it up.

A player like Speed Jobber Vinny or Capybara winning an Olympic gold as a Dutch team off the back of MVG and Dirk would be ludicrous. Similar for Mike de Decker or Geert de Vos off Van den Bergh or any random Poruguese cunt off Jose.

Moreover, Team GB would be way too over-powered. Price, Wright, Anderson, Wade, Clayton, Asp, Chizzy all to choose from while the likes of Ronny Huybrechts, Tony Dawkins and Gordon Mathers all rock up for other countries to make up the numbers.
