The Balloon World Cup Is Pure Electricity And Needs To Be An American Pro Sport ASAP

This is everyone's favorite thing to do. I don't care how old you are, guy/girl, whatever. If you see a balloon you do one thing and one thing only. You start batting it around and don't let it touch the floor. It's honestly it a top-5 thing about having a kid. Birthday parties, haircuts, day care, they get balloons all the time. Which means you get to play with balloons all the time. Now if you can turn it somehow even more competitive like they did here? That's how you know you're onto something good. Slap some Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery on the call and we're really cooking with gas. Shit, we even got yellow cards?

I gotta really hand it to the Balloon World Cup though. Adding in the couch, car, table and all those other obstacles? GENIUS. Make it as real life as possible. It's such an awesome feeling to spike the balloon over the couch too or directly on the table and have it fire off. Even love the jerseys. They remind me of like Double Dare with the helmets, maybe a little Global GUTS action. Man, we really had it the best growing up in the 90s. Shout out Mike O'Malley and Mo on GUTS. Hell, this game could have been on GUTS. Anyways, I'm getting lost in the 90s here. 

We've seen sports that I didn't even know were sports make the Olympics. Put this in there. You barely have to be in shape to play this too. We can send bloggers to the Olympics and that's something I'm all for. Need this to catch on in America right away. We already do it, we already play this game. Just start adding records and official rules and lets go. Next big thing.
