Description
A fearless sports columnist sets out on a worldwide quest to find the stupidest sport on the planet—and discovers that the competition is far more dangerous, bizarre, and demanding than he ever imagined. From obscure contests to punishing physical challenges, he throws himself into each event with comic determination, enduring danger, embarrassment, and the unexpected camaraderie of the people who play. With sharp wit and an irreverent eye for human absurdity, the book explores obsession, courage, sportsmanship, and the strange ways people turn almost anything into a game. The result is a fast-paced, hilarious tour of athletic eccentricity and the lengths one writer will go to in pursuit of the ultimate sporting folly.
