anyone think politics are to blame for this or is it just that there isnt enough interest?

Could be a combination of both, but I'd tend to say its the interest level.

I mean the U.S. didn't even make it last year, and without them nobody would really care. If the U.S. didnt make it in 2012, there wouldn't be much of an audience.

well. the whole team sports thing in the olympics is somewhat weird.

for instance, if i recall correctly, soccer is a U20 tournament (under 20) but with three or so exceptions per team. so you have a few "mentor" players and a bunch of youngen's.

basketball is clearly 99% pro.

volleyball is all pro too, I think.

baseball was a strange mix -- it's pros, but it's the minors. I think that's where it missed out...
