Should darts be in the olympic games?

[Jimmi]

Moreover, Team GB would be way too over-powered. Price, Wright, Anderson, Wade, Clayton, Asp, Chizzy, Dolan 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.

Fixed.

[thegentle]

Dolan can represent Ireland lol

[tungsten tossers]

Could you imagine unleashing this on the world............

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.

Yes.

Contrarian prick

[The Thorn]

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

There are a lot of shitty sports no one has ever heard of in the Olympics. That's not really an issue. In fact I'd say darts is now big enough (not globally but commercially) so that it doesn't need the Olympics

[DartJack Horseman]

It shouldn't be no
However given some of the nonesense events in it an argument could be made

This

the fact Skateboarding, BMX are in is a joke. I still maintain

Football
Rugby
Tennis
Golf

Shouldn't be in

Skateboarding and BMX are in? FFS!! I only watch (sometimes) basketball and events with Poles with a chance for a descent place.
This year not even one minute of this event.
I am still disgusted with opening of football "Euro" and digital U2, ffs!! Retarded!

Rugby is a joke just like American football sorry guys!

Golf shouldn't be there.

Only football and tennis out of those 6. And this is a "maybe"...

Therefore - Olympics is now a joke --> darts could be in it as well but... I vote NO

[SuperSwede]

No. Think of the testing

[Jimmi]

Yes.

Contrarian prick

Thanks mate.

You're only saying that because Poland still wouldn't get a medal even with all the English, Scottish and Welsh lads teaming up together!

This is a nice easy one. No

No from me

Darts is far bigger than many of the events in if we are basing it on tv audiences.
Eventually I can see more and more events being added. What next?
Darts
Snooker
Fishing
Chess

Don’t they have bowling in the commonwealth games?

[Pigpen]

Are we all mentally blocking the possibility that the IOC would go to the WDF to provide the players as they are the "official body" ?

No from me

Baseball absolutely is global enough to make a proper tournament, it's huge in the Spanish speaking Caribbean and in Asia, but the issue is that the MLB in America don't release their players so it's rarely the best vs the best. With England, Scotland and Wales coming together, and Northern Ireland either joining Team GB or Team Ireland, how many good teams would there be in an Olympic darts tournament? It'd be hard enough to get decent teams together even with doubles, let alone with bigger teams

Other than equestrian (which has always been in the Olympics and always will be because it's a sport for posh twats), all the sports in the Olympics are unquestionably sports, a bit different shoving darts in there!
