My name is Jeremy and my goal is to bring you weekly musings about the lesser known sports of the world. I’ve always tried delving into a new sport every year or two, something outside the mainstream genre. Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Ice Hockey are considered the “Big 4” sports in America. Any other team sport doesn’t gather much recognition from the national media. Individual sports such as tennis, golf, auto racing, and boxing are highly recognized as well, but this still leaves many, many sports with little to no coverage.
One may argue that lack of interest equals lack of coverage, but lack of awareness may also play a role, too. My contention isn’t that large masses would convene to watch a Shin Kicking championship if they were aware of such a competition, but it may inspire a few people to get off the couch and try something new, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to others.
