The tweets the Iron Sheik has made about this are a must read. My favorite is the one about Chris Brown.

The IOC must be the biggest group of morons on the planet, dumping a sport that went back to ancient times.

Every seems mad for something that is getting cut due to low ratings and low ticket rates. It's nauseating. At its root, The Olympics are supposed to represent pure sport, competition and dedication at the highest level. Yet, like everything else these days, its now presented and is governed on the basis of what is popular and what should and will draw bigger ratings. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT RATINGS. To me, it'd be like axing Best Director from the Oscars because studies have shown that the audience doesn't care about it as much as a few other awards. It's not supposed to be about that. This is just the beginning. Eventually, The Olympics will become even more commercialized, with sports added and subtracted based on the fleeting preferences of certain demographics who'd rather watch a couple of idiots dance with some ribbon, or horse ballet.
