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

Lest we not forget the biggest "sports" competition broadcast annually on the 4th of July by ESPN. Maybe we can upgrade it to an Olympic sport in 2028?

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.
Right.

I will add that skill or athleticism + skill are two different things. Many things take skill, but enough to televise and create a league? I think not, or at least it seems weird to me.

Chess would be a good example as an argument to the opposition. I suppose it might be resistance to things that are new and unfamiliar.

To each their own of course.

Where is the drunk uncle in the ''Professional Cornhole Association''. Extra point scale for this?
 
There are tons of hours to fill on the networks and it’s cheap tv to produce. We are also in a weird time when the only real sports are MLB right now, and WNBA if you consider that a sport.
 
Someone already mentioned "Pillowfighting" above. How does one of these "fighters" explain to people what they do? "So, what do you do? Oh, I'm a professional pillow fighter." :oops:x100!

I saw Corgi racing on one of the ESPN channels while perusing. I guess they figured 25-30 yards to the finish line was equal to the greyhounds doing a lap otherwise those little tubbos would pass out at 50. I'm sure their bellies had to have a little extra washing afterwards.
 
People have been bred to do as they are told. Used to be called lemmings. TV shows about tattoos... everybody gets a bunch. "

Put a noisy laugh track in, and you've got a hit.

This is genuinely 'clown world'. You can't win. You can't break even. And you can't quit.
