    if esports counts, I’d go with Minecraft or super smash Bros melee

    otherwise I’d prolly do fencing since that’s basically like a fighting game (I played back in high school)

    Skateboarding. It has enough variety to keep it interesting for that long. Unlike many other sports, there’s an infinite number of tricks to learn. Even if you’re old.

    Quidditch, because it would change the laws of physics and everything would probably explode in a hilarious hellfire

        No idea how to respond to this. They run around with actual broomsticks between their legs? Well, whatever floats your boat lol

          No need to have a good response. I’m with you in being a bit weirded out by it. I just felt I shouldn’t be alone in my state of being weirded out by this.
