    Then you look at hockey. A bunch of belligerent hosers, skating around on ice with metal blades on their feet. All while trying to hit something that looks like industrial waste with a stick. Oh and you get to punch the other people when you feel like it.

    Don’t just dream about getting on base, become the base. Extra balls are included…

    Just like reddit, a thread full of puns/one liners indistinguishable from karma farming bots.

    Does anyone know what this sport is? What’s the context here? I’m genuinely curious.

      Its call Dümkhaant, an old German sport where each competitor is encased in a cube of plaster with only their head, legs and less dominant hand poking out, the aim of the game is to get your ball, which is hovering in place with the use of telekinesis and a long stick made out of a specialised wood from a specific region of northern Germany, into the opposition’s net which is situated upon a 5 ft, 56° incline of loose gravel.

      The ball must never touch the ground, if your ball does touch the ground, you must take 13 steps back and to the left., you are allowed to cause a situation where your opponents ball can be dislodged, but you may never touch their ball, if you touch their ball, you must stand where you are for 30 seconds.

      The game is resolved when a 2/3 result happens, in the event of a tie, each player must remove one sock and swap it with the others and first goal wins.

        as a german, its actually spelled Dünkhand,
        and the net is actually 1.5 meters.

        also, its currently in discussion to allow sticks made out of alluminum.

          Drünkhand is only used in the lower peninsula.

          My bad, the copy of the rule book I have is water damaged.

          They will have to repeal the 1993 ruling that strictly prohibits the use of alloys, as per Chancellor Strattenbergs decision any use of an alloy will result in a permanent dismembering from the league.
