To the best of my knowledge, a survey was taken of those involved in the Olympics (all facets: participants, vendores, sponsors, etc.) which reflected softball being in the top 40% of all summer Olympic sports which means it is popular, a good fan draw and a money maker.
The ISF & ASA believe that if the IOC members actually read this report (assuming it was made available to them by the Chair), there would not have been a question and softball would have easily retained it's position in the games.
This is my perception of second hand information provided at the commissioner's meeting of the ASA. As I said, they are cautiously optimistic for 2016.
