One of the most popular sports in society today is American football. But have you ever imagined if the game was tweaked? What if new objects were brought into the game?

Recently, the sport of unicycle football has taken sports to a different level. In fact, an official league has been made in San Marcos, Texas.

For starters, the game is relatively simple. It’s very similar to flag football, which includes flag pulling, throwing and a couple different rules. The only major difference is that players are unicycling instead of running to make plays. This extra catch makes this sport an even bigger challenge as it adds another obstacle to the game of football.

One great simplicity of this sport is that it can be played on any surface. From parking lots to dirt fields to regular grass fields, unicycle football can virtually be played anywhere. To some, the danger factor and the chaos it could cause is evident. However, the people that have been exposed to this sport have found it to be more fun and less dangerous than they originally imagined. This creation of unicycle football is definitely one of the oddest, yet most exciting combinations and blends of different sports.

Perhaps, maybe other popular sports could be combined in the future. We can only wait to see how popular this trend of novelty sports will proliferate.
