What are some obscure sports you'd like to see more of?

I know when the Olympics roll around I enjoy watching some of the more obscure sports like fencing, curling, archery. Hell, I enjoy watching billiards and darts in the rare occasions ESPN breaks from their talking heads.
I ran across a sport called Canne de Combat such originated in France but is gaining popularity in a lot of other places. Similar to fencing except they are not restricted to fighting along a line on the floor.

I used to be fascinated by the lumberjack games that would come on at 8 in the morning or around 11:30 at night on ESPN

Rugby, which I guess I could probably get if I wanted to bad enough

I use to love watching Lumberjack games. That shite would come on late at night on ESPN and I would get hooked.

Archery is fun to watch in the Olympics, and I'd probably check out the World Championships during the long summer months. Same with volleyball.
I always try to keep up with track and swimming during World Championship seasons.
Fencing is hard for me to follow the action, but I started to get it after watching for a couple of days in Rio.

I'd say dirt track racing, i.e. Sprint Cars, Late models and Modifieds. They show some events on MAV TV but they're barely scratching the surface. I know it's not necessarily obscure, but definitely under televised.

Rowing.
Weightlifting.
Wrestling. The real kind, not WWE.
Soeed skating, and cross country skiing.
Adventure racing. This used to be a thing, but for some reason it faded out.
Best Ranger, and similar competitions involving military-LEO-firefighter skills.

Cyclocross. Much shorter than its road cousin and more action

Rugby - highly entertaining. Not really obscure I guess, but too low in popularity.
