This is a pretty entertaining story about a “sport” I was only vaguely aware of, because my school did not do sport stacking (or maybe I’m too old). But I have seen a few videos of it online, and it’s pretty neat to find out it was popularized by an enthusiastic clown/school teacher who made some risky business decisions. I’m glad it worked out and they didn’t go bankrupt with thousands of cups in their basement.
