You’ve Never Heard Of These Sports, But You Need To Watch Them

In the United States, there are basically four major sports; baseball, football, hockey, and basketball. Amazingly, these four sports are not the only ones that exist in the world. Examples of other sports you may have heard of include soccer, snowboarding, ice skating, water polo, and surfing. What about more obscure sports, though? Have you ever heard of Olympic Handball? It’s included on this list and you won’t want to miss it!

Camel Racing Is Like Racing Horses… But With Camels

Yes, there is a sport all about racing camels. As crazy as it sounds, the sport is not dissimilar to horse racing.The popular Arabian sport used to feature young children as jockeys racing camels as far as eight kilometers (five miles). Labor and safety concerns have shifted the sport into a more futuristic territory, with small robots riding atop each camel. That all sounds pretty exciting to us! Maybe horse racing should take note, after all, it doesn’t take much to knock a jockey off and seriously injure them. Then again, maybe robots riding camels is an unhealthy step towards Skynet taking over.

Don’t worry, this next sport won’t cause nearly the same controversy.
