&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There has been a lot of discussion during the London Olympics about the inclusion of some, um, questionable sports in the Games. Some say they should be eliminated, some say no. Some say certain sports should be added, some say no.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Some of The Times’ Olympic crew took on the topic Wednesday morning during our daily live chat. What? You haven’t been watching our daily live chats on Google hangout? We have them every Monday to Friday at 8 a.m. PDT.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Adding and dropping sports wasn’t the only topic at today’s chat, but you can watch that part of it in the video above. Among the sports mentioned are modern pentathlon, trampoline, golf, softball, baseball, fencing, judo and taekwondo.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;But what about professional wrestling? No one mentioned that. Just imagine if we had John Cena representing the U.S. in London.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The oddest choice to add might have been dog racing, with little monkeys riding the dogs. Then again, our crew has been in London awhile now, and all those fish and chips can have a debilitating effect on you.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-london-olympics-what-to-watch-for-wednesday-20120808,0,6305094.story”&amp;gt;London Olympics: What to watch for on Thursday&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-german-diver-video-stephan-feck-20120808,0,2877241.story”&amp;gt;German diver Stephan Feck backs into history [video]&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-fifa-soccer-london-olympics-20120807,0,1901374.story”&amp;gt;FIFA will look at end of U.S.-Canada women’s soccer match&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
