EVER is a long long time.

There will be games that depend on low gravity.

Lacrosse


I love watching college lacrosse whenever it's on ESPN. It seems like its been close to being mainstream for years, but the pro league just hasn't gained traction.

Cricket is HUGE in India. That could hit it.

I always enjoyed water polo

Handball would fit American athletes because it combines basketball with baseball. I played it through college and had a blast. We had a team at UA because of the Germans from. Mercedez. It's got a lot of contact, speed, and it's lacrosse without the need for expensive equipment. I enjoyed it more than baseball or basketball which were sports I played for 15 years.

Surely you have access to a dictionary, right?

Don't know. My parents bought my siblings a crochet set and a badminton net with rackets. I haven't seen anyone in the United States ever play that professionally.

Cricket might garner some interests someday in the U.S.

I will help you.... you can take a 5 year old and sit em front row at a sporting event and not be a terrible parent

MMA would not qualify for this. Cheerleading would ;)

I know it's only popular in certain demographics, but volleyball has a strong international appeal, and with the height and skill of players, it is evolving similar to the early days of basketball.

The X summer and winter games tried to do that but I think a lot of that hype is starting to leave those sports even though the Olympics did take in a lot of those winter sports like snowboarding.
