Rugby and Golf are now Olympic sports

Two new sports are added to the 2016 and 2020 Olympics, rugby and golf. Rugby which was last played in 1924 is finally coming back. I was hoping that they would bring back softball but at least they have rugby now. I'm really excited that they brought it back because it's a really interesting sport to watch and play. It's not a popular sport here in the U.S., but rugby is pretty popular outside the States. The games are not even shown on tv here, which I think is lame. I think once people see the game of rugby at the Olympics, it'll bring more popularity and fans to the sport.
