Well that's blind boxing for you, but would other sports be more or less entertaining played blind?

I'd love to see blind football for example. After kick off, the ball quickly gets 'lost', where is it? That's the fun of the game, you find the ball, you're running with the ball, but now where is the goal? Blind tennis on the other hand, you'd need super acute hearing powers to even make a go of it. Blind poker would be stupid and blind darts would be the ultimate test of guesswork.

Doesn't blind football involve a bell inside the ball.

that rang a little bell far off in my distant memories harry ,i believe you are right.



this could turn into a highly entertaining thread i think, there are numerous sporting examples we could use that could have a somewhat chortlesome effect at the expense of blind people.

hmmm.............................blind skeet shooting
