Everybody thinks it's a joke, but it's an actual sport.

There's a wiki page on it but it's a load of crap. - AmyVernon, on 11/15/2008, -2/+7OK, I can kind of see all of them except shin-kicking. Though you couldn't get me to iron even if it were extreme.
- xanoran84, on 11/15/2008, -0/+5catfish grabbling?? i thought it was called "noodling".....

- lekahe, on 11/15/2008, -1/+4Swamp football is also popular in Finland :)
- mstachiw, on 11/15/2008, -1/+4My wife and I were suppose to honeymoon in NZ. Now with Zorbing in the mix I have a new found ambition to head out there.
- doctornkul, on 11/15/2008, -2/+5That kid doing the cell phone toss has a great follow through.
- DeFex, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3Dont tell people what they know.
besides, many people on Digg know about these from the last time it was submitted. - Thinkerofthings, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3Whoever marries Mary-Kate Olsen is going to be the Tiger Woods of Wife Carrying
- Thinkerofthings, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3Definitely don't want to be on the bottom of a pile up

- TV1RU5, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2What? You guys don't read Obscure sports quarterly. The women love an OSQ man!!
- thegrantman, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Not if your wife is Star Jones.
- qasabah, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3"Be shocked and amazed as women pull out catfish half their size. View the strength of a 50+ lb. frenzied fish as it throws 3 women around like they were rag dolls. This is a showcase of outdoor activity and fun that the entire family can watch and enjoy."
Need I say more!

- riveraoor, on 11/15/2008, -2/+4i thought this said "9 really unusual spots you never knew existed"
- Neiby, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Now I know where Peter Gabriel found that giant ball to move around his stage in. Very cool!

- Kamill85, on 11/16/2008, -0/+2Buried for assuming I didn't know they existed.
- ringo0309, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2i think that was the so-called "catfish grabbling"
- elipabst, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2"Transvestite Heavy-Metal Speed Chess."
Hey don't mock it, my fantasy team is kicking ass this year. - kyleokeefe, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Not going to lie, i knew about 8/9 of those... :(
- elipabst, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1"Did you know that New Zealand won the softball world championship for about a decade without loss?"
LOL. Softball isn't a sport played competitively by American men. In the US softball is played by women (predominately homosexual women at that). If you are desperate enough to brag about women's sports, I could have easily busted out the fact that the US women's soccer team dominates world play, winning back to back gold medals.
"Yes, and England often strips American swimmers of their titles, oh, and Australia... Who can sweep the board some years. Those years America is not "World Champion"."
Generally a good rule of thumb for bragging about your countries best sport is to not do so after your country gets completely ***** owned by the American who shatters the all-time gold medal record and owns your country like a cheap watch.
Let's history speak for itself though:
last 20 years:
2008 US China Russia
2004 US Russia China
2000 US Russia China
1996 US Germany Russia
1992 Russia US Germany
Yeah, where is Australia? Their best showing EVER is 4th so GTFO. Should I even talk about the Winter games or are those all "American" sports too? - Stickeh, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1As did I.
- Jaxtheripper, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1This is why we all need a strict definition of the word sport.
- Thinkerofthings, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1no if only ESPN would create a channel dedicated to this sort of thing :)
- partrow, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Just what we need, more versions of sports entertainment. . . .
- JulyZerg, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I first heard of "Wife Carrying" on the Comedy Network. Their version was probably far more spectacular than the real thing!
- Thinkerofthings, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Who can forget Elephant Soccer
http://www.abc.net.au/news/photos/2007/11/20/20957 ... - mutantmagnet, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1*Checks URL* Thank god it's not Cracked. Otherwise I would've been killing an additional 20 minutes after reading that article.
- FreddieD, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I read about these already from my subscription to Obscure Sports Quarterly..
- wrestlingnrj, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Why did they call it "catfish grabbing" and not it's proper name, "noodling"?
- PhattyPhattMatt, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I dont think that Grabbing is for me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biL-QcviQGk&feature ... - comptonstomp, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1"the winner chucked a phone 89 meters (or 97 yards)"
I refuse to believe that
its friggin impossible - shylove, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Hunting sports is the ultimate sport as long as you give them a sporting chance and it would be best to wear a good sport coat while you're at it.
A coat of arms might work but as soon as you bring the army into it, it ceases to be a sport and starts to become a profession!
Once you start a profession then you have to have professors and once you have professors you have an elite who require a college in order to survive by passing on to students the knowledge of how elite they are...
Then the unusual sport reaches critical mass and it becomes a sporting event and all the hippocritical students us it as an excuse to get drunk on power.
Once they get drunk on power the sport is turned into a way to intimidate people and exercise dominance.
Once you start using dominance as a form of exercise you really start having problems because others may want to exercise their dominance over you in return.
So better be careful what sport you start sporting!!! - olasonn, on 11/16/2008, -0/+1This is a clear winner in my book.
Ski tree jumping...enjoy!
http://skitrehopping.net/skitrehopping/skitrehoppi ... - TheNatMan, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Catfish grabbing looks HOT. I'd let her thrust her entire arm inside my catfish, and when my catfish latches on, pull it out of the water any day!
- DonJuanAussi, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1The biggest problem is that NZ doesnt have many twisters. I have been dreaming of tornado chasing with a zorb.
- brownsound00, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1THE OCHO!
- elipabst, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1Baseball isn't just a US/Japan sport. It's also the national sport of a number of countries who do compete very well against the US, such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.
"American sports... the easiest way to be world champions is to play sports no one else can be bothered playing."
Like swimming right? Because we're the only country that has water which is why we absolutely dominated at the last Olympics. In fact we've dominated the summer Olympic games for decades and consistently finish in the top 3 during the winter games year-after-year. Soccer isn't a big sport in the US because frankly it is boring as hell to watch (and I played it for years). - schrutefan, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1I was aware of the existence of 5 of these sports. Buried.
