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.

I've been saying for a while ESPN needs to cut down on the talk shows and go back to lumberjack/worlds strongest man type stuff

I used to love watching these on a Sunday morning
And I agree. Less talking about sports. More showing sports.

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.

Strong man competitions, i mean what says sport more than A Scandinavian man named after Norse Gods, carrying 2 boat anchors down a race course.

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.

Paintball
I was watching some paintball tournaments (and RallyCross races) on LiveStream awhile back. It was just some paintball league in Germany and all the commentary was in German but still fun to watch.
It's not that these sports aren't fun to watch, it's just they get no airtime so we're not familiar with the competitors.
shite that Stephen A. Smith says gets more retweets I guess.
