But, next month at the Southeast Asian Olympic games, underwater hockey will be played as an Olympic sport.
This variation of hockey requires much skill and talent in order to perform, and it should be recognized for its merit.
Other unknown sports are starting to be recognized as sanctioned sports, such as water polo. Recently, the University Interscholastic Committee approved water polo as a sanctioned sport that will begin competition in the 2021-2022 academic year.
This is great for representation of lesser known sports.
However, I recently discovered cornhole is classified as a professional sport.
