I still do not understand how baseball and softball were removed from the Olympics other than its not a timed event, meaning that it messes up TV deals.

A good rule of thumb, if anyone received a military award during the destruction of Yugoslavia like the Golden Lily...its safe to assume that they targeted civilians for killing at some point.
