Some look silly yet fun (bog snorkeling). Others look like they'd be kinda funny to watch (chess with boxing? LOL). Some look easy (paper rock scissors league...but why are they shirtless?).

World's Weirdest Sports
OK, granted, we regulars here think all sports fanaticism is weird, but I thought this was kinda funny: http://www.oddee.com/item_87009.aspx

wow... thats definatly... weird... lol such a waste of cheese.... btw they're shirtless because men that watch sports must be gay... i mean why else watch? a guy cant say hes not gay by watching a bunch of shirtless men tackle and fight each other... in cheese apparently... which is kinda understandable for why woman might watch them... lol seriously though, i switched to wrestling the other night for a second... it was 2 men... on top of one another... looking like they were doing a little different things then fighting... and hundreds of men watching and cheering them on... it was a little... a lot... creepy... lmao i changed the channel pretty fast though
Sports contribute nothing to society. They are a waste of time, money, effort and TV channels! It's just a bunch of buffed up, fat headed, idiotic jocks chasing a ball around.
If cheerleading were any easier... It would be called football!

Perhaps, but I'd just think that anyone involved in a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" tournament, wouldn't exactly be very appealing shirtless. On the other hand, if we could get people to lose interest in football and basketball and into Rock-Paper-Scissors, or Cheese Chasing, or Wife Carrying, then well...the world would be a much more interesting place.

Re: World's Weirdest Sports
Is competitive eating weird??? I like that one!
Re: World's Weirdest Sports
The only two that made me go WTF?! Were the Wife Carrying and Rock Paper Scissors(least physically challenging sport I've seen). All the others I've seen something similar to or have seen before except the goat thing maybe.
"We believe in Vader, the Darth almighty, destroyer of Alderaan and the Sith. We believe in Luke, his only son, our Jedi. He was concieved by the power of the Force, and born of the senator Padme. Suffered under Darth Sidius, electrocuted, survived and partied with Ewoks. He descended to the Death Star, on the third hour he flew out in an Imperial ship and landed on Endor. He is seated on the right hand of Obi-Wan's ghost. He will come again to train Leia to be a Jedi. We believe? in Yoda.........

I remember reading there was an extreme ironing sport. I suppose the chess/boxing, is a good mix of brain and brawn.

Heh...at least extreme Ironing would be something productive. I say this as someone with way too many wrinkly clothes.

Re: World's Weirdest Sports
Yea, same here. I can put a lot away. I think the most I ate was like 2 1/2 lbs of food in one serving. Even after that, I was up for a desert!
