What non-mainstream sport do you enjoy that should be promoted more?
I play international dodgeball-what weird and wonderful sports should receive more media attention?
Dodgeball is an interesting choice..Agreed! Made famous by the movie by Will Farrell (I think). But I have a few interesting picks myself you may find of interest.
VOLLEYBALL--This is always a big attraction during the summer Olympics as well as a big draw on the beaches in that circuit of the sport.It attracts people because it is a game most people have played at some point in their lives(even wheel-chaired people have participated in it!).
Ping Pong-Another international sport that would gather attention. Itwas also mad popular with the Forrest Gump Movie!
Curling-Probably NBC's biggest draw of a TV audience during the Winter Olympics! Nothing fancy about it(its glorifeid shuffleboard!) but for some reason it draws a crowd!
Horse Racing- At least the thrill of the bet is there! Plus the stories behind the horses is a lot more interesting than that of NASCAR or INDY!
Kickball_ Here is a sport that can be played indoors or outdoors! Why it hasn't become more professionally mainstream is a mystery to me! This could even be a hot college sport!
Great Question!1 Voted UP all Around!

I know the word 'Pimp' is mainstream now but look at what it means, really. It's so demeaning to women as is the word 'Trick'. As woman, I resent either of those words being used. No one would use the phrase - let's say Put an 'noose' around your topic and generate traffic. I mean, come on....
