Please enlighten me how corn hole is a televised and sponsored sport.

We were in a restaurant this evening and the TV's were on ESPN . Cornhole match ..... It held my interest for about 3 1/2 seconds . I'll take Women's Olympic Curling any day over that nonsense .
 
The tavern that is located in the town that I grew up in, has a regular Wednesday night tournament.
But the flyers that promote the tournaments specifically mention "No professional players".
I don't have cable TV, so I've been missing out on this.
 
So many channels...so little substance.

In TV poker, the 'person to person' nature of card playing is romanticized. Then they featured players wearing sunglasses.

Curling beats cricket in sports I know fabulously little about.

The cheapness of garbage television should be paired with the cheapness of garbage news.
 
There are three things that would bore the heck out of me to watch that’s poker, corn hole and golf. I also had no idea corn hole was a televised sport either. I just recently came across the poker a few years ago. I guess people are watching it but I sure won’t be lol. I’ve got my baseball to watch and I can watch football or basketball even though they are kinda boring to me. But nothing is as boring as poker or golf or corn hole. I’ve even watched bowling before on TV and that wasn’t as boring as corn hole would be lol.
 
Well, how about video games being an official sport, stadiums are built for their competitions, and the most prestigious universities in the nation having teams that compete? It's a sign of society imho. Look at what happened yesterday, worldwide, because of a single company.

I'll get on a video call and there are 60 year old people, sitting in a gaming chair in their home office.
 
Actually throwing something like an axe or knife or darts...or a football through an old tire is sport compared to playing cards.

I suppose watching someone doing anything is OK up to a point, but you'll soon become a puss-wad (wad of dead white blood cells).
And it starts with the brain.

Having dinner in a Madison, Wi bar, killing time before a flight to El Paso, TX tomorrow l. I look up and see something I had no idea was a sport.

I see corn hole on the television, and the players have sponsors.

Another example of how one can make it big with so little in the U.S. Will beer pong be next?

I wasn't able to capture on camera the winner of the match being interviewed by a very fashionable female sportscaster on the hard fought and strategic win by the winning player.

Because as a species, we have become very dumb, and easy to distract. And seemingly have the time to watch some idiots play a backyard camping game, with sponsorship.

Evidence of neutering of the human male.
 
I would rather watch corn-hole or curling than golf. I would rather watch paint dry than all 3.

Playing curling takes a lot of skill I am told by my Northern friends. I agree watching it might not be the most interesting, but maybe for some?

Who cares what others wish to watch on TV. If they enjoy it I say good for them.
