I wish sports put a bear on the field/court/gym. It would be a wildcard. Sometimes the bear is sedate and friendly, other times... not so much... The entire activity would have to be completed with the bear present. It would make sports much for fun for spectators.

Also surround the field with a 10 foot razor wire fence to ensure the players remain "inbounds" at ALL times lol!

For the playoffs they can "upgrade" to lions. ;)

Performance enhancing drugs for the athletes, bears, maybe drugs for the bear too.

Maybe? :p

I'd say go with electric "stimulating collars" to get the bear/lions "motivated" ... also starve them for a few days prior to the game. (OP can be the test "athlete")

I wish sports teams would actually change their names when they moved state. Utah Jazz? Los Angeles Lakers? Memphis Grizzlies? Come on.

I was born in 89 so I got to grow up with Doom and Quake. And later Unreal and Starcraft.

This would be interesting with highly physical sports like MMA fighting. 250lbs guy vs a 110lbs guy, but hey, they were both born in 1994 so they are in the same class right? :p

That would actually be entertaining!

Golf commentary: "Woods is up by 1 and needs to get a birdie to even out this round. He goes for the putt.... beautifully done! Ohhhh! And the bear intercepted the ball, and now he's getting mauled, they tranquilized the bear and now the medics are coming, we think he should be ok but we won't know until after this commercial break." *Personal injury law firm commercial starts*
