Absolutely agree there. Even completely casual sports are incredibly hard on the body, sometimes even more than a whole day of a manual labor job, and in some places there's still pressure to participate. Not all sports damage joints... but it seems like the ones people pressure each other to do are all unhealthy. I think we should go the other way, and just start over completely with brand new sports that just don't include anything likely to injure a person, or to give any major advantage to people who work out 6 hours a day instead of a half an hour. Perhaps even with no equipment limitations at all, to take some of the focus off genetic advantage and maybe inspire more people to do science stuff Everyone always talks about people not getting enough excercise (I'm not sure how true that is since lots of people have physical jobs) but nobody really promotes any sports an average person without the "I want to push my limits and know my capabilities and I feel amazing when I set a new PR" wants to play. Orienteering seems to be one of the closest, along with not-quite-what-most-think-of-as-sports like bowling and pool and various precision based games.
