So we all know there are so many "sports" out there these days, but I've noticed in recent times there has been focus on some rather "interesting" ones.
We all know about Boules, Curling, and other lesser known sports, but this is for discussing really strange ones.
For examples sake:
e-Sports
"e-Sports" is taking off big these days (including Sim Racing). The idea being that people play computer games for money, whilst crowds watch and cheer. eSports are already being televised.
Just yesterday however I came across another one which had me laughing my arse off.
Drone Champions League
Teams professionally racing drones though gates in front of a crowd like some shitty version of the Red Bull Air Race. The one I watched yesterday had team Quad Force vs Team Hell Hound.
Drama struck when the fastest qualifiers drone for Team Hell Hound would no turn on, on the platform. Competitors sit in racing style seats with VR style goggles on and a controller in their hands. Competitors are able to change stuff like the length of the drones blades.
..
What are some other bizare sports that you've watched/heard of, or even been a spectator to? I'm not talking competitive eating or like strongman championships either.
