Golf In The Olympics? My View II

Hello. Last night I watched a bit of US Open tennis. Roger Federer was playing. Because it just concluded, the announcers were talking about the Olympics. The topic quickly became "Should tennis stay in the Olympics?".
My answer to that question is simple. If you have to ask the question, it doesn't belong. End of discussion. Now some questions which make it obvious golf and tennis shouldn't be in it.
  1. Would people have willingly praised the Olympic Men's champion if it wasn't Rafal Nadal (Tiger Woods)?
  2. Would people watch Olympic tennis (golf) if the top pros weren't playing?
  3. Did people flock out to see Olympic tennis (golf)?
  4. Are people going to remember Nadal (Woods) for an Olympic medal?
  5. Do people remember Stefan Edberg (?) for an Olympic medal?

My answer to all those questions is no. Let me know what your answers are, especially if they differ.

Regards,

Steve
