My thoughts on…really stupid sports
When you think of sports, what comes to mind? More than likely baseball, basketball, football, track and field, extreme ironing, crick…wait! What? Well that sport actually exists. It’s quite popular, and there are many more sports more absurd than that. Don’t believe me? Well how about worm charming? Or the World Beard Championships? Or Faceball? I’d list more, but I wouldn’t want any of my readers to fall into depression and commit suicide over how profoundly stupid the human race has become. I’m all for curing the grinding boredom of the everyday, but this ridiculous!
The bar for what’s regarded as a sport has really fallen, hasn’t it? The inventors of these idle amusements are just what you’d expect. Young, pasty white guys living in their mom’s basements with a lotta time on their hands. And the funny thing is, all of these sports are quite popular. You’d be amazed by the following these sports have. Proof that one fool really does make many. But in the end, what defines a sport? Is it the following? Is it the acceptance? Is it the difficulty? If these sports fulfill these criteria, then why should we stop them from being called sports? People probably laughed when the guy that invented the javelin throw wanted to make a sport out of chucking a stick. Who knows? Maybe sometime in the near future, cheese rolling will be an Olympic sport.
