Man pushes for hide-and-seek as 2020 Olympic add-on

Baseball and softball are still out. Wrestling is back in for the 2020 Olympic games. Could hide-and-seek be the next "sport?"

If one man has his way, the answer will be "yes."

A Japanese man is lobbying the International Olympic Committee to allow the game, or sport as the man contends, in the 2020 games. He started the Japan Hide-and-Seek Promotion Committee in 2010 and about 1,000 people agreeed with him.

He said he wants anyone to be able to participate, no matter age, gender or physical ability.

There's no word on if the IOC is taking the request seriously or even considering it.
