I've never been a big fan of sports (probably because I'm not good at any), but lately I've been searching for sports that allow unusual/atypical plays without everyone instantly accusing the player of a lack of sportsmanship. I want to see a sport where 'thinking out of the box' is rewarded. I'm not really concerened about the 'spirit' of the game, instead I want to see unusual and interesting plays.
My daughters both used to play netball and I can remember asking them why their team didn't form a circle and walk the ball across the court. The look of horror on their faces was priceless. The same would apply to all team sports. Why not form an impenetrable ring of players?
Also, is anyone aware of any sports players that were deemed 'too good' to be allowed to compete? The only one I can think of is the horse Phar Lapp who was forced to carry extra weight to try to limit the ability gap. What I wouldn't give to see weighted human races.
