3 x 3 is a different sport from full court basketball. It's more like driveway basketball than it is the full court game. If you can't appreciate that, then so be it.

I don't much care for wrestling, but that"s me. They still have Greco-Roman wrestling, which is the original thing, if you want to be petty about it.

I'd rather cut out the equestrian events, especially dressage. Silly.
