Sport Stacking: Pretty Cool, but it's not a Sport
I don't know that I would call it a "sport" per se, but it is pretty cool to watch.
Pick an activity, any activity, and add speed or style or difficulty to it, and you can make it a competitive event. (However, that does not make it a sport.)
There are world air guitar championships, world texting championships, and even hitting a ball with a stick and then walking after it. None of them are sports though!
Find out what other sports are not really sports at my Laughing Stalk blog.

I still can't get over how popular it's becoming. I'm torn between it not really being a sport and it's complete coolness.

- I laughed through this whole article. My son just got into this, so it's cup crazy around here too.
