Can't really agree with the idea of suing your way into the Olympics. Why not follow the process that all the other sports abide buy? No sexism here by the IOC, it simply does not meet the criteria set forth by the IOC to be allowed in. By 2014, it may fit.

Where they really lose the high moral ground(if they even had it) is the complainant's position is that the men's event should be pulled if they don't get in. That just smacks of a sour grapes attidute that should stay in recess hour at elementary school.

If common sense loses out and they do win, expect the IOC to pull the entire event and move it to another more reasonable location.

There has been question marks about women's hockey and lets remember that they IOC pulled Baseball(Men) and softball(women) because they did not have sufficient participation.
