What's a non-popular sport that interests you?

Arguably popular more now in recent years since COVID and because of Usher's Super Bowl halftime performance, but I've been really into roller skating. I did it a lot in middle school/early high school, then stopped briefly and picked it back up a couple years ago after COVID. It's been a lot more packed at a couple of the local rinks I go to regularly since the Super Bowl.

Have you thought about joining a roller derby group? My daughter did that for a while and loved it. She's tiny and was able to dodge a lot of people and zoom past them. She's an only child and had no siblings on which to take out her aggressions, so this enabled her to do that LOL

I considered it briefly, and I was even invited to one of the intake sessions by one of the girls on the derby team at one of my local rinks, but at the time, I didn't have health insurance, so I couldn't participate. 🙁 (I also didn't have my protective gear with me that night, but the lack of insurance was the bigger issue.) I have insurance now, but the practices and bouts don't really line up with my work schedule, so I decided to not go out for their latest round of new skater intake that just started last month.
I do want to at least go watch one of their bouts though! They have one on Saturday, but I have to work the closing shift that night and won't be able to make it 🙁
It's really fun to watch in person!! I've been to a couple of the games and found myself yelling a lot LOL There are a lot of injuries, so you were smart to wait for insurance!
It's my goal this year to get to one of their games! Most are on Saturdays though, and those are usually hit or miss for me at work on whether or not I'm a mid shift or a closer, but their schedule for the year is already up, so I can always slide in a little request to work the mid shift if possible when they have their next one lol. Worst they can tell me is no!
I actually had to wait for the insurance! They require it for all of their skaters, so they wouldn't have allowed me to participate otherwise!

Soccer for being in the US I would say. I would love to play but obviously, I have no friends in person to make a team or group to play when I'm in the middle of nowhere.
