When will a real new sport (not some weird derivative of an existing sport) be invented?

Are we beyond that point in human history?

Yeah interesting question... There was a movie called "Baseketball" made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone that asked this question...
Pickleball is kinda new, I think?
Do esports count? If so, we've already invented hundreds over a few years. 📈
my intro to pickleball teacher said it started in the 70s I think
The only sport I watch anymore is NCAA LaCrosse (and even that, only the Semi-finals and finals). Still exciting and un-cucked. Even the womens games are decent in the playoffs.
Sat stacking is my new favourite sport! 🤌
I follow you, but honestly was any one of these able to be called a "new" sport vs a derivative of what was around at the time.
IT'S TIME FOR PROFESSIONAL 4-SQUARE
Materials technology enables new possibilities like kitsurfing and foiling. We'll all be hoverboarding at some point.
Nothing can beat chess tho.
Everything is a wierd derivative of an existing sport.
Almost sport is one of these:
Bounce thing over net
Put thing in other teams net
Get thing to other teams side
A race
A feat of strength
A graded performance
Oh - also:
A fight
The most interesting genre of sport is actually gaming imo. Not sure if you can call competitive gaming a sport but many do.
Perhaps video games are new sports
Paramotor paintball dogfight.
