Ok seriously, JUMP ROPE NATIONALS?!?!?!?!?!?! you have to be kidding me. Im not saying its easy, but...isnt there something else? I guess they have a sport for everyone. Maybe I still can become a professional athlete. Well, at least ESPN isnt trying to pass billiards or poker as a sport.

You should try out for the professional lawn mower racing league.

What about underground vacuum racing professionally?

Jump roping is a great physical activity and lord knows our country needs as much of that as they can. If having a televised competition promotes people actually getting up and doing something in any way, I don't see the negatives to it.

Yeah Aaron, that is a good point. Unfortunately, ESPN then tries pass off Spelling Bees, Poker, and Pool as a sport. Kinda backfires.

The spelling bee is pure greatness. The best unintentionally funny event of the year. Seriously, sit down and watch it on a summer sunday with nothing else to do and you will be rolling on the floor laughing. The Sports Guys annual Running Diary of the spelling bee is can't miss stuff as well.
