But Badminton, dancing, ping-pong (uh “table tennis”) and the abomination called “rhythmic gymnastics” are “sports.”

I’m going to take a wild guess and say wrestling was cut because it’s just too aggressive for liberal sensibilities.

Some guys enjoy rolling around on the floor in the arms of another man.
Some don't.
I'm in the latter group.

Last Olympics I watched, I didn’t think there was any other sport except beach volleyball. That’s all I ever saw when I turned it on.
