Xarm (Extreme Arm Wrestling), That's A Sport?

That's A Sport takes a look at the humorous, odd and just plain stupid sports to compete in.
Step 1: Attach yourself to a small table so you can't get away.
Step 2: Assume the standard arm wrestling position.
Step 3: Tape your hands together.
Step 4: Beat the shit out of each other until someone is left unconscious.    

Seriously, this is a new sport that is beginning to catch on.  In a nutshell, you have 3 1-minute rounds to either pin your opponent's arm to the table or knock him out, oh yeah, while your arms are taped together and your tethered to the table.

Walking? That's A Sport?

Yeah, it's been a "Sport" for a while now, but seriously. C'mon. This is bullshit. Race walking? Might as well be the shot put, but underhand, with a ping pong ball.

I'm watching right now, and what makes it, "walking" is that you have to swish the hell out of your hips and keep your toes up. Oh, don't forget the massive thrusting of the elbows. (and the rules state that one foot has to be touching the ground at all times-but that's subjective, at best.)

Here's my problem. RUN! Stop holding back! Jeez.

Swamp soccer! That's a sport?

What once started by cross country skiers in Finland during the summer months, Swamp Soccer has quickly grown into an international event.  The first tournament was held in Finland in 1997 with 13 teams attending.  In the last 11 years it has grown into an international sensation with over 200 teams attending this years event. 

With a few modifications the rules are similar to regular soccer.  Each match lasts 24 minutes, with 6 players (5 outfield and 1 goalkeeper) taking part in a mud filled pit.  There are men's, women's and mixed gender teams each competing for the coveted cooper trophy.

Yo-Yo? That's a sport?

Holy shit. Guess what's a sport? Yo freakin Yo. No, I'm not Puffy, rais'n my hands in the air; this is yo-yo. That's right, the walk-the-dog, 'please stop dad, you're embarrassing me' yo-yo. They're calling that a god damn sport. Know how I know? Cause it's on "The Best Damn World YoYo Contest," of Best Damn Sports Show Ever fame, and if anyone knows sports, it's FOX. They know sports like they know politics. Take some clowns and freaks and make them president. SORRY, I meant to say champion.
