Canyoneering - Worlds Dumbest Sports
The world's dumbest sports
December 7, 2011
You see some amazing things when you travel, things you just had no idea existed.
Some of them of them blow your mind with just how stupendously great they are. Others are like the turducken.
As a sports fan I'm always on the lookout for the weird and wonderful of the athletic world as I traverse the globe, and I've found some crackers over the last few years.
Sepak trakaw, the volleyball-soccer hybrid played throughout South-East Asia, has to be one of the best spectator sports around. And anyone who can find a game of bocce or petanque and not feel the irresistible urge to join in has got something wrong with them.
But foreign sports are not all great. Following is a list of games I've witnessed around the world that are silly at best

Over in France they've somehow managed to elevate of the seemingly simple art of running away from someone into a sport. Only the French, eh? Sure, it looks all cool leaping off tall buildings with French swagger, but it's not much fun for spectators, is it? (Unless you, too, can leap off tall buildings.)
And canyoneering is dumb because I don't want to get cold and wet. So unless they are going to fly all the spectators around in helicopters, this wont work.Your safety is not my responsibility.

Surprised the blogger didn't include road bowling although with a pub likely waiting at the end i suppose that sport would not qualify as dumb.
