Someone should put together an entire
league in some imaginary sport (zero-grav
soccer, full contact fencing, tiger
wrestling, etc.) and create it all though
computer graphics. The games would be
broadcast just like the games for any
other sport with the exception that
everything would
have to be scripted
ahead of time. Just like with any television
show only a few select people would know
how things were going to turn out. You
could even have actual announcers who
are not in on the outcome so they sound
authentic. The league would have a
season, playoffs and a final game just like
any other. Basically I just want to watch a
sport that could never happen in real life.

This might be more interesting as a series. Eight or so episodes, each covering some 'historic' game. The interplanetary cup zero-g football final of '78, the martian ski death match in which 14 skiers fell from Olympos Mons or maybe the Quiditch(TM) final from the year 300X when a bunch of drunk students invented anti-grav broomsticks. |

I imagine the format being a little like battlefield britain (with Peter Snow), with a bunch of interviews with people in period costume talking about the game, along with CGId footage of highlights of the game itself. |

Ideally they'd get some clever people to make the game seem likely, and consider carefully exactly how the zero-g would affect the game or whatever. |

Anyway, have a pastry thing. It's entirely CGI. |
