What if...
To create some variety and excitement in sports, what if...
they made the drivers do a "reverse skate" and make right turns during a NASCAR race?
when the players hit the first tee at Augusta National they found out they had to use tennis balls?
the next time the Red Sox came top town to play the Rangers, the umpires rolled out P.E. red rubber balls and they had to play a game of kickball?
the offense and defense during an NFL game were forced to switch and play a game?
for the Tour De France they were forced to ride unicycles?
the U.S. Open was a pickleball tournament and the French Open was a badminton tournament?
What are some others you might have?

Fun post today! I love the kickball idea. How much fun would it be to play kickball at the Ballpark?
Here's one: What if professional athletes were only able to make $150,000 a year tops, one bad drug test got them banned from their sport and team owners were forced to give 50% of all revenues to charity? With lower salaries for players, the owners would make enough to feed the world, provide healthcare for the poor and reduce debt in third world countries. But that's a crazy idea. Un-American really. How can we expect athletes to live on such a little salary and then have to use the education they received free of charge to actually get a real job when their playing days are over. And it's not fair to ask multi-million, and sometimes billionaires to give up necessities like fur sinks and electric dog polishers to help the less fortunate. We'll sooner see tennis balls (or women) at Augusta.

Great post--funny to think about that. Truth be known, I might not know the difference.

How 'bout boxing with just a glove on your thumb only. Thumb boxing.

Last week ACU's baseball team played a Japanese team and they used the kind of balls the Japanese use. They are roughly the same size but made of spongey (spun-jee)rubber. It really changes the game, but probably still not as much as a tennis ball off the tee.
How about hockey but instead of a puck you use a Pomeranian?
Or waterball using cream pies instead of ball?
Or calf-roping using members of a wedding party instead of livestock?
Or basketball using a ball of Silly-putty?
Okay, I'm gonna go take my medication now.

How about a 4 x 100 relay in which instead of carrying and passing a baton, you had to carry and pass a small child.
Instead of throwing a javelin, you threw a flag from the green of a golf course (I've done that!)
In gymnastics, the balance beam randomly shocked the gymnasts.

If Pickleball became the game of the US Open, Joyce Curtis would be Abilene's newest millionaire!

Let's combine Russian Roulette with Baseball. How about randomly placing landmines in the outfield?
Indoor Hunting?
Tackle Golf?
