Pretty good Matt and Shane secret podcast bit about forcing NFL players to play to death. If I remember right, when they hit 65 they get put on special teams. That maximizes the chance of being obliterated/turned to dust by a stud running into them full speed.

Naked twister.
Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport
Just wait for the next Olympic games.
Depends on the production value, bu most people just use onlyfans these days.
If esports count, I'd like to be like this guy and get a contract to play rhythm games professionally
Otherwise... Probably swimming or race walking, not too many professional sports I could think of that one can do into their 60s without wrecking their body
I could totally swim profesionally until 65. Wouldn't be winning anything. Would probably get a lot of "slowest 50m" records, but I could totally lose on a daily basis for a living.
Running or cycling.
Karate.
Disc Golf!
Hear hear!
Fencing
Cricket. There are many different roles in the team and you get to hang out outside with your teammates all day. Also, if it rains you go inside and have something to eat.
Marion Tinsley died at age 68 while still holding the World Checkers Championship. A number of chess players including Ivanchuk and Anand are in their 50s and still mighty strong, though not WC strength.
Isn't checkers solved? I guess it wasn't back then, but it's not exactly repeatable now.
At that time it wasn't solved and it was unknown whether Chinook was at Tinsley's level. Now it's solved in the sense that a humongous computer search has proved it to be a draw, but there is still competition between humans. Chess is generally believed to be a draw too. A mathematical or computer proof of that wouldn't change things very much though. The best way to beat another human might involve playing into positions that are lost for you, if you can get into a complex enough position to confuse your opponent into a mistake.

Table tennis
Sumo. I reckon the other wrestlers would just gently push me out of the ring and I’d be ok with that.
Darts.
Disc Golf
Professional wrestling for me.
Biking or swimming
