Question: Will darts ever be an olympic sport?

I am not really shocked that darts are not an olympic sport, but compared to other events they have in the olympics, why can't darts be in there, and take an event out?

I feel the same way about billiards, the day darts are an Olympic event pool better not be far behind. Bad Mitten? Ping Pong? Where's darts and billiards requires more hand I coordination, and is more publicly recognized as a sport, then the mentioned above. Petition time!

I am not sure about all of them, but i do think that darts would be a fun sport to see.

Since they have dancing around with a ribbon on a stick and bouncing a ball, they might as well include darts, which is actually more of a sport. All it takes is a majority of member nations to get a sport in the Olympics.

With the popularity of the sport on TV in the UK and Europe, I think darts could hold its own as an olympic sport. The only thing holding it back I believe is that the sport is usually seen as a pub or bar sport.
