I'm Irish and hurling is completely mainstream (Hurling is Irish). I play it almost everyday, matches are shown on tv every Sunday during the season and one of the biggest stadiums in Europe was built for hurling and Gaelic Football. There's a club for it in every town and I broke my ankle while playing a game.

The most unusual sport I can think of? Handegg: nobody knows the exact rules for it, not the watchers, not the players and not even the referees, since the game is stopped every 10 seconds for the refs to debate something or another. And some people call it "football" for some stupid reason, when the game has nothing to do with either the feet, or is it played with an actual ball.

+Dimetropteryx Actually according to the Oxford dictionary a sport requires physical activity, i'm afraid I don't think using a keyboard will quite qualify! www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/sport
@Dimetropteryx
@Dimetropteryx 8 років тому
The123cool321 1. That's a worthless definition. Lifting a finger is a physical activity. 2. It's an outdated definition. 3. It's pulled from a dictionary to make a point that can't be supported by any actual argument that addresses the issue itself.
@Dendroapsis
@Dendroapsis 8 років тому
+Dimetropteryx Well if you can reference me to a dictionary definition with more credibility than the Oxford dictionary please, but as for your definition, its not watertight either. People ski casually, sail casually, climb casually and there are many more examples of things done recreationally that are considered sports. Either way to be fair enough its not the most pressing issue in todays world, if people want to call it a sport I suppose its up to them, language is not fixed.

Takrow(or other spelling)is one of the most popular sport in south-east asia, it's a sport require great agility and other athletic abilities, it's even been in the official Asia Games for ages, Major sport nations like China Japan SouthKorea all have their national Takrow team, and Asia has 60% of the world's population, that's half the world consider this one legit sport, it's pretty disrespectful to put it along side other jokes or small scale culture event , it's greatly disrespectful to put it only at number 7, a sport that half the world recognized is no better than cheese chasing? And How TF is Hurling weird, I even get what you see as weird in Takrow, how TF is hurling weird?

Here's my response to this list: #10 - One Foot High Kick - Okay, it's pretty much a sport where you have to jump up with enough height to kick the ball on the rope, fair enough. #9 - Quidditch - Since when did something fictional from a movie franchise became a real life sport to play? #8 - Shovel Racing - How the hell can somebody ride on a fucking shovel down the mountains, anybody? #7 - Kick Volleyball - An okay version of volleyball, but dangerous at the same time. #6 - Extreme Ironing - Since when did ironing your clothes became a sport?! #5 - Buzkashi - Dragging horses, calves, and other animals to the finish line, please. #4 - Wife Carrying - Are you fucking serious, a husband carries his wife as part of a race? The hell's going on here? #3 - Cheese Rolling - How redundant is this?!, running after a roll of cheese while running down a hill?! #2 - Chess Boxing - Really?, a game of chess where boxers have to box against each other?! Honorable Mentions: Bed Racing - Just a team getting a bed to race along the track. Mud Olympics - Basically the Olympic games, but covered in mud. Hurling - Where you throw a ball using a stick to one of the goal posts. #1 - Oil Wrestling - A retarded sport that is completely unnecessary with wrestlers being covered in vegetable or olive oil to wrestle against each other in slippery fashion. Or if you count the episode in South Park where Cartman was wrestling against Honey Boo Boo in a pile of spaghetti. That's all I have to say.
