Really? Who would watch this?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There is nothing people won't watch. Evidence: Adam Sandler's career.

Y'all have to remember that illiberals who think that they are liberal are actually pretty conservative people who think that no one should be thinking, saying, or doing anything that is outside of the illiberal norm. Dodgeball as a spectator sport is relatively new. The players are masculine jocks, and masculine jocks can only earn one single point in the illiberal worldview if they kneel during the national anthem. The illiberals feel that we don't need any new masculine jockery. So FM's panties are in a twist.
THIS is a strange sport. Don't worry, the horses aren't harmed.

I'd much rather watch that than "Extreme Couponing".

I read about it four times a year in Obscure Sports Quarterly.

Well, to be honest, this sport does look like sort of a logical evolutionary step in the right direction in regards of it being gentler and therefore more civilized. Guys just throw balls at each other and run scared from balls. In few years a pillow fight will be a sport and I'm not being sarcastic.
When it comes to dodgeball it seems that big muscly men as players are a miss since they are slow and big--easy targets.
