Is Ninja Warrior A Sport or A Reality Show? Should It Be In the Olympics? How Should Parents Feel If Their Kid Is Into Ninja and Not A Traditional Team Sport? Has America Reached Peak Ninja Interest?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: Inside the repurposed warehouse, human superballs fling themselves from unwieldy plastic rings and bars suspended from steel scaffolding, while others scurry up the trio of towering, curved (better known as “warped”) walls looming in the corner, the tallest of which stands a foreboding 14' 8". On the rear wall, there is a peg board, navigated by ninjas who insert and hang from wooden rods along a jagged course of holes. And beside that hangs a homemade wooden salmon ladder, which a ninja ascends by dangling from a horizontal metal pole and heaving it up a series of vertical grooves. The kids, many of whom aren’t quick to make eye contact with strangers and are prone to slumped shoulders, seem to double in size in that room. They laugh and—quite literally—bounce off the walls. This paragraph comes from Sports Illustrated. The article is titled: "Go Ninja." The article is written by Brian Burnsed. Zac and Don discuss the sport of Ninja Warrior. They wonder if it is really sport or more of a reality exhibition. They also talk about whether Ninja Warrior has reached its peak in popularity and whether it should become an olympic sport. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bestparagraph/message
