How would you make a particular sport that you found boring more interesting or appealing, funny even?

Asked by ucme (50047points) April 30th, 2010

Something that would help make it more entertaining, less predictable maybe. That would attract more people.Funny or serious alternatives are equally welcome.One example of mine would be to put a shark into the pool, see if Phelps can win then eh!!

Add defense men and checking to curling.

When I was in elementary school, I had a teacher who would do just this when we played kick ball or dodge ball or whatever. He’d make new rules like, in football, you’d have to hop on one leg when you brought the ball in to score a point, or you’d have to rub your belly and pat your head if you wanted something passed to you, and you had to be doing it when the ball was thrown or it was a foul. It was hilarious.

For baseball, replace their bats and balls with wiffle bats and balls.
For basketball, replace the ball with a beach ball.
For football, replace their uniforms with inflatable sumo wrestling suits.
For hockey, replace the puck with a frozen Klondike bar.

Nascar would be fun if I was allowed to shoot their tires out ;)

Yes. I never really enjoy running, so I decided to try running at night. I made it a bit more interesting by doing it my bed, rather than outside or on a treadmill. Instead of using my legs to propel myself forward in a sweaty cardiovascular fashion, I instead close my eyes and lie still. Since I started, I’ve been “running” almost every night!

Another idea would be to have naked relay races would make for tricky change overs in the mens race.A photo finish could be decided on who has the biggest knob.Dagnabbit Bolt wins again. Naked ladies table tennis no bats required ploop, ploop, schlop, puh!!

Ten pin bowling, replace the ball with grenades & the pins with pigmy hippos.

Replace each golf tee with another green, so every hole is a pair of facing goals (like basketball, soccer).

Two foursomes face each other, each has to defend their hole while shooting for the other.

Snooker: with only three cushions.
Darts: distance from oche to board; 10 meter.
Tennis: with handgrenades.
Football/soccer: whenever someone fakes an injury, stop the match, on comes a tuxedo who presents them a nomination for an Oscar.

majorrich's avatar

Allow defensive putting, and everybody putts at the same time.

Add lubrication, the occasional chance of a mild electric shock, maybe some strobe lights. Done.

Golf – only slightly less boring than watching grass grow.
When the person is getting ready to swing, someone runs out and makes a grab for the ball. If they get it, they get to smack it away with a tennis racket. If they miss, the golfer has the choice to holler at the person or take a swing at them one time wit his club.
Play begins again.

erichw1504's avatar

@Captain_Fantasy Exactly! For example: Have the cheerleaders strip while cheering.

majorrich's avatar

Require alcohol consumption during Cricket matches. At least a pint per run.
