    IOC just kicked Wrestling out of the Olympics, beginning 2020. Not to worry: Badminton PingPong & SynchSwimming are still in

        @neiltyson Yeah. Badminton is the second most popular sport in the world...so that's probably why it's in the Olympics.

        @neiltyson So Pluto can't be a planet now that we've advanced our understanding, but wrestling has to remain a sport no matter what?

        @iJohnNelson @neiltyson To be fair, baseball isn't really a sport. It's more of a sleep aid... like visual Ambien.
