Other sports that fall into this catagory: Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Freestyle Moto-X, Diving, etc. Some are damn good athletic activities, and some are very interesting to watch, but they're just not sports.
A strike zone is baseball is a rule. I can be very easily enforced by anyone who follows the rules. Pass interference in football is a rule, it can be easily enforced. The judging in Gymnastics is everything. It's the rule, the scoreboard, the game, the season. Everything.
Meanwhile, they will never be removed from the olympics. Unless you can find some way to bring in billions of dollars only on sports.
