I think we have finally have run out of good ideas when it comes to creating a new competitive sport. Run Nation Championship apparently is a new league in Australia where the contest is having two ‘athletes’ run as fast as they can and slam into the other person. Seriously? It seems to be tied into a trend online called, ‘Run It Right’. Again, the idea is to just run, full force, into your opponent, and the last person standing is the ‘winner’ (I use that word loosely). It seems more like and offshoot of football, but even more violent. How many times have we heard of a football player (high school, college and professional) being seriously injured because of powerful tackles they’ve encountered? And now there’s a sport where that’s the main goal??! If there’s alien lifeform watching the human race and they see this dumbass sport being played, I’d imagine they’ll steer clear of planet Earth~
