Can I get pool instead, billiard is hard.
Volleyball.
if esports counts, I'd go with Minecraft or super smash Bros melee
otherwise I'd prolly do fencing since that's basically like a fighting game (I played back in high school)
Skateboarding. It has enough variety to keep it interesting for that long. Unlike many other sports, there's an infinite number of tricks to learn. Even if you're old.
chess.
I'm lazy but like RTS games.
Chess isn't a sport
Well, not the way you play it.
Triathlon
Olympic walking. I'll be taking it really really easy. I'll have headphones and an ice cream cone
Pie eating, for suresies
Every last one of you could have chosen drone racing and yet none of you did.
Drone racing.
Quidditch, because it would change the laws of physics and everything would probably explode in a hilarious hellfire
It's a real sport nowadays: https://www.rulesofsport.com/sports/quidditch.html
No idea how to respond to this. They run around with actual broomsticks between their legs? Well, whatever floats your boat lol
No need to have a good response. I'm with you in being a bit weirded out by it. I just felt I shouldn't be alone in my state of being weirded out by this.
Ice skating and/or inline skating. Not sure how safe that is to do for so long, but I like going fast.
Taekwondo
Do esports count? Because that.
Snooker.
This was my first thought. Honourable mentions to golf and darts.
Archery
Oh powerlifting, and I wouldn't be competitive. Just lift whatever I could, and lose the competition, forever. I guess that's amateur though? Hmm.
I cannot imagine anyone paying me to play any sport at all.
Ping pong. You might think all the humiliating losses as my reflexes slow down might become hard to take, but if they don't bother me now, why should it bother me later?
Rowing or swimming. As long as I'm not trying to be world record level, I won't be ruining my body. If I'm just training as much as they do, it won't be much worse than a full time job.
I would have picked skydiving, but the lead exposure is a little too much for me to want to do it as a 10 jumps a day type of job.

Ranked Competitive Sex.
You don't wanna go up against the world heavyweight champion
Its okay, thats my weight class
Skiing, as I actually enjoy it.
Curling.
Do I have to me good at it or is someone just going to pay me to do it regardless? I guess motorsport
Online Chess is now officially Esport... so that... xD
I'd be the next Hikaru Nakamura, live stream chess stuff and act cool af.
Golf.
The sensible choice.
When you retire, you go play randomly at courses & clean up on friendly wagers. That way you can stay fluid in retirement.
How about E Sports? I'm not competitive good, but I can play video games all day.
