From Star Wars to Harry Potter, all good stories have a tendency to compel their audience and weave their way into a fan’s real life. Fans from all over the world try their best to make their fandoms as much a part of their real life as a fictional story can be. An interesting observation was made by the people at SBO.net. A collection of fictional sports has made it from the fictional realm and into the real world. From Calvinball to Pyramid and straight on to Thunderdome, these are sports that were invented for an imaginary world but are now played by real people. Each sport has its own varying level of accuracy. Unfortunately, real flying broom sticks have not yet been invented and neither has flying vehicles. But that hasn’t stopped fans from creating their own versions of Quidditch or pod racing.
SBO.net created a list of ten fictional sports you can play in real life. We went a bit further and came up with a few more that weren’t mentioned on the list. Here are thirteen fictional sports that are played in real life all around the world.
