It's not like little Harry Reid or pompous Nancy Pelosi need to actually be involved, although if they thought there was a vote in it, I'm sure they would be.

The Ted Stevens Olympic Amateur Sports Act states: "For any sport which is included on the program of the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games, or the Pan-American Games,…". The Olympics already have, so if the other two Games drop softball, does ASA's NGB status become null and void?
