Express Action Sports

There are a lot of crazy sports out there today. It just seems to be getting weirder and weirder. Once you thing you have seen the weirdest sport possible, you will tune into a sports channel one day and see something that takes the cake (probably a cake-eating contest). While not so long ago it seemed strange to watch billiards on television the extent things have gone to in today’s world makes hitting a few balls around with pool cues look incredibly conservative. Why have things come to this? What is it about the way we live that makes us think such crazy sports would be interesting?

One such sport that actually has its own show is that of hot dog eating. This is absolutely true. The show consists of one guy or girl standing at a podium with a plate full of hot dogs and trying to eat as many as he can before the time runs out. There is a crowd cheering the competitor on and commentators discussing strategies used by the “sportsmen” to achieve their desired goal without getting sick. Half of the challenge tends to land with the viewer, who will likely be battling a case of nausea after watching this show for too long.
