Quadruple amputee cornhole player fatally shoots man, Maryland authorities say

AP Story

This is obviously a tradgedy for the victum. But I have so many questions. Starting with, "You mean there is a professional cornhole league?"

 

I did know about the professional cornhole league since we scrolled upon the world championship once (which was followed on the same channel as the world championship of tag ... Im not making that up... itis exactly what you think ... tag)...

But ... and not to sound cold towards the tragedy.... I have so many questions here !

 

Time to put Cornhole in the summer Olympics. Less obvious chance for cheating than in the winter version, AKA Curling, and just as much spectator excitement. Next choice? Marble shooting.

I know a few people that would qualify as professional cornholers but we are talking about two completely different 'sports'.

 

Well played...

 

I nearly spewed iced tea on my monitor when I read that....

 

Quickly glances at calender to check date, notes nope April 1st.

 

Wondering how he held much less shoot a gun and then I saw he used his pee shooter!

 

You'd be surprised at how many fringe sports have Professional Leagues. Just watch ESPN2 for an afternoon, you'd be surprised what you'll find.

In this case, I thought in the hobbies thread or somewhere, this particular person came up and some videos were posted. I've seen some of his matches, as a player, he's top notch. As a human- we'll see how this plays out.

 

From WTOP News Radio:
"In a statement, the American Cornhole League said it was aware of the charges and that it was sending thoughts to those impacted."

Nothing beats a good round of thoughts after being either a murder victim or witnessing one being committed.
