Rise in alternative sports

The '90s saw extreme sports. The '00s are seeing hipster sports.

Hoosierweight Boxing was a cool little St. Louis thing that was nothing to snarf at. My friend Apillow Creed just competed in a Pillow Fight competition in Brooklyn. Another friend was injured in an arm wrestling competition a few years back. Beach Tennis, anyone? There are several professional Rock-Paper-Scissors organizations poping up. Soap Box races are seeing a comeback through NASCAR, and even a reinvention with the annual race across the Brooklyn Bridge that leaves many bruised and wasted. And who could forget, dodgeball and kickball are taking over intramurals.

Will the '10s see a return to soccer and more mainstream sports?
