What other sports are played in the Siglerverse?

We know that the intergalactic races play football and soccer. Both of those are really big main-line sports.

What other sports -- particularly less common sports -- are played in the Siglerverse?

From what we've heard, it appears some of the races would have exceptionally disturbing competitive eating contests. However, does anyone engage in these contests?

Just a thought. I'm not a sports fan in general. This kept me from reading The Rookie until I read everything else... and eventually starting hungering for another fix. When pressed, I claim Competitive Eating as my favorite sport. (I do find myself lingering there if I come across it on the TV.)

Cheers,

The Black Death

Is drinking a sport?

As a matter of fact, that is a roll of quarters in my pocket.

We know that Baseball is still played (and it's still boring as hell), as well as MMA-style fighting. There is also a Sklorno sport called "spot racing" that is mentioned.

There is also soccer...I believe it was a Quyth dominated sport, however.

The Galactic Fighting association and the Intergalactic Fighting Association (the GFA and IFA respectively) which is mentioned in the Scott sigler novella Title-fight. I'm listening this story now and it COULD BE my favorite novella story Scott has done...
