Anything Close to a Sport... Is a Sport

While surfing the web one can find some pretty weird things. The other day I found a website that had many top ten lists, one of them being “Top 10 Weird Sports You Should Try”. Of course I had to see them and indeed they are weird. The first sport was Underwater Hockey. Wow. I mean since we’ve played it on the field and on ice why not underwater? This sport (yes, it's a sport) is also called Octopush, basically there are 2 teams of 6 and they try to push the puck with a stick into the goal. One of the reasons it's not very popular is because well, no one can watch it. Another completely bizarre sport is Chessboxing! Just like the name says, the players box for a round and play chess for the next one. Of course there is also Cheese Rolling where the participants have to chase a round cheese down a hill. Strangely enough there are many injuries and this year it was canceled for safety reasons. I thought the coolest one in the list was Bossaball, it's like volleyball but they play it with a trampoline on each side! I would definitely play this one. The point of the game is to somehow get the ball over the net, just like in volleyball but this time you’re jumping on a trampoline. If you want to see the other sports on the list look here;  http://totallytop10.com/sport/top-10-weird-sports-you-should-try .
And remember anything close to a sport… is a sport.
