USA Softball's leading lady, Jennie Finch spoke out. But the ruling is final.

The United States Women's National Softball team has won every gold medal since the sport was added to the Olympic program at the 1996 Atlanta Games. They have dominated international competitions like the Pan American Games and World Championships.

But as VOA's Steve Schy reports, softball will play its last Olympic innings in Beijing after being removed from the program starting with the 2012 Games in London.

I'd love to hear your thoughts?

    I can't put into words what a terrible decision this was. We've seen so much talent in the Softball world series that will not get a chance at the Olympics in 2012. But I believe Softball will survive and become more popular than ever in the coming years.
