Fancy a spot of tennis, basketball or football? Boring! Why play a conventional sport that actually makes some kind of sense when you could be spending your time tumbling down hills or climbing mountains to do your ironing. Without further ado, here are the 6 most ridiculous sports we can’t believe actually exist.
That’s right, there’s no typos on that title. You might recognise this morally outrageous sport from a particular scene involving Leonardo Dicaprio’s character in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf Of Wall Street. Dwarfs wear padded uniforms covered in velcro and are thrown by people onto walls also covered in velcro. The aim is to throw the consenting dwarf further than your opponent. The exact origins of the sport are unknown, but you can get a $5000 fine and a six month presence if you play in Canada.
Strangely enough, the UN High Commisioner of Human Rights in France made the decision of allowing dwarf tossing as a sport to continue back in 2002. The sport is still going strong in Australia as well, with several human rights groups very rightly rightly trying to make it illegal.
