Non-events

I can see camel races to be interesting, if one lives in the Sahara Desert, elephant polo if one lives in India or Thailand, hot dog eating contest if one lives in (intelligent) USA.

But next to the super exciting curling I found another hugely non-entertaining sport: beach soccer (football). I can see beach volleyball being interesting, mainly the women part, where good looking young females in itzy bitzy bikinis play the game on sand. Even the men tournament holds certain amount of interest.

But beach soccer to me is a poor effort at making a sport worth watching. Five men in each team kick the ball and sand at each other trying to score goals. I watched the other day and turned it of after a few minutes. There was a FIFA World Cup held in Russia just now. 

Japan is playing against Russia in the final. Both countries are powerhouses in this sport! These countries will try any sport just to get victories. I can see the popularity of this sport in Russia. They will probably set up large sand filled area front of the Kremlin for the whoever want to play this sport.

Another idiotic (if you can call it) sport is cornhole toss. This is totally American! This is a backyard game that is now gaining popularity. One tries to  toss a 16 ounce bag filled with corn kernels, I guess through a small hole cut in a wooden board about 30 feet away. Now, beer in one hand, and corn bag in the other this might seem a little complicated and confusing.

After three beers one might be a little confused which hand he is to throw. The sad thing is that TV is beginning to show this non-event. Spike ball joins the list of waste of time.
