It is kind of wild how a sport can spawn and give birth to other sports.

Basketball was originally played in ancient Mexico, but you used your feet and had to kick a smaller ball into a tiny hoop.

The captain of the losing team got beheaded for his efforts.

Golf spawned minitature golf, and ping pong looks related to tennis.

What's next?

Here are some of my theories.

Do YOU have any other ideas?

Competitive Eating

Competitive eating has become a sport, according to ESPN.

We know what's next:

Competitive Pooping

He must be on the phone with his agent for an endorsement idea.

Poker

ESPN also likes to call Poker a sport.

We know what is on the horizon:

Professional Old Maid

This should be on ESPN2 very soon.

Arm Wrestling

I always thought arm wrestling was cool.

BUT it could spawn into something more.

Thumb Wrestling

How about thumb wrestling?

Curling

Curling is, in my opinion, peculiar.

But it is very popular.

Naturally, it has possibilities of morphing into other sports:

This team is a favorite to win it all.

Hope you enjoyed the possibilities of sports.

Your ideas are welcome.
