Watching the linked video I think that dogs get soccer.
They get hunting in a pack, they get grabbing things with
their mouth, they get running faster than their
competitors, they get competition in general.
The ball would have soft handles extending all around it
that the dogs could grab
but would be kicked by the
humans as they would in any other soccer game. Picture a
Coronavirus, litte dog grabable balls on the end of stalks all
around the center ball.
They'd follow instructions from their teammates that
might
be in code, different for each team. Improperly yelling
wrong instructions at the other team's dogs would mean
that guy would run out and yell at you waving a card
around.
I think the dogs would love it as much as the humans
would. That could be pretty cool. It would be the
only soccer I'd ever watch.
Goes without saying the dogs would wear their teams
uniforms.
Might also do a Frisby version as well.
(Depending on where you live, change "soccer" to
"football"
as necessary)
I think dogs get running sports.

So train them to play maybe. [doctorremulac3, Mar 13 2022]

American football should be called "Warball".

Seeing by the link that the dogs have issues grabbing a ball,
they just bounce around and look cute.
Clarifying the new proposal of handles on
the ball. |
|
| |
Picture a Coronavirus. They'd grab the small tennis sized
balls sticking out on stalks allowing them to grab it and run
with it, something they can't do with a fully inflated regular
soccer ball. |
|
| |
This allows them to actually secure the ball in their mouth
and run with it. |
|
| |
I can see this thing being a regular exibition thing with say, 8
man/dog teams just doing a 15 minute pre game game. |
|
| |
If I were a coach I'd have my team bark three times in unison
when they were introduced. (Yes, humans can bark quite well
thank you.) |
|
| |
Occurs to me, the soft stalks would would act as brakes to
slow down the ball to some extent making it easier for the
dogs to catch and grab. |
|
| |
I've always thought American football should be called
"Tackleball" to zero in on what's different about it. |
|
| |
"Warball" might be good. (link) |
|
| |
Although that does sound a little like "warble". Not exactly a
word that invokes 300 pound muscle strapped men beating the
hell out of each other. |
|
| |
Warble
(of a bird) Verb: sing softly and with a succession of constantly
changing notes. |
|
| |
I've always known "American football" as "gridiron". A quick
search shows that the "gridiron" is actually the name of the
field it is played on (being a grid pattern). Never attempted to
watch a game.
As for the idea, are you thinking that the humans only use
their feet, or grab the ball the way the dogs can? If it's
"humans & dogs all grab", the make the ball huge (1.5m
diameter or larger) so it becomes more like a tug-of-war, but
still opportunities for rolling etc.
(Not sure Frisbee would work; dogs can't throw one.) |

I tried posting Coronavirus Dog Toy a while back and got slammed. |
|
| |
No way? Was it for the utility of the handles or just the
design
element? If it was just for looks that might have gotten it
boned. |
|
| |
I was actually thinking these should just be handles so they
DON'T look like a coronavirus. Some people might not have
super pleasant memories about that. |
|
| |
I'll change it to handles they grab, not balls. Unfortunately
balls would work better but I can see the resemblence
turning
people off. |
