CS... never was good at it, never will be, but it's somewhat fun at least

Sumo. I reckon the other wrestlers would just gently push me out of the ring and I’d be ok with that.

Esports/mlg. I actually wanted to explore video gaming as a competitive career as a kid, throughout my teens and a bit beyond. Disability and near-death struck at 21 and dashed that, though. I still play rather well for racing games, but fps I struggle competitively due to partial blindness and loss of the use of my right hand. I use an ambidextrous Logitech G903, using both sets of side buttons (both left and right side), if you're wondering; all critical functions and movements go on the mouse, with secondary (like map, equip/use, toss item, inventory/hotbar...) remaining on the keyboard.

Also, while not a sport...

SpoilerI also looked into being a 'working guy'. My sex drive has always been -really- high, and that stupid saying 'find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life'... well, I definitely love pleasing people. Nearly all my relationships failed because of, or directly linked to, my unquenchable needs (it's not my fault you are studying for a full load of courses and I've been at it for 4 hours, okay?), so...

Field hockey

I already know the rules since I played as a kid. There is no physical contact, so it’s safer than some other sports, unless you get hit with the ball or a stick to the shins.

Not the most professional, though there are world cups, but playing pétanque is surely something you can do til 65 and beyond!

Why not pick the laziest sport and try to become a real world Happy Gilmore ( minus all the rage enduced swearing or childish antics on the field ).

Table Tennis. (A.K.A. Ping Pong, but that's actually a trademark)

Also good. I can reach over the net in that one. (Doesn't mean I can win, just not lose as bad)

For the non-North Americans, the place kicker specializes in kicking the ball through the goalposts. In a sport where most pros have retired by age 40, the best kickers will often play until they’re nearly 50.

Does chess count?
