Due to the recent success of my Top 10 Weirdest Sports in the World, here is the sequel! If you know of any weird stuff that's happened in sports, share as a separate comment on the comments section below.
Australian speed skater Steven Bradbury won gold at the 2002 Winter Olympics due to all his rivals wiping each other out on the final corner. Since he was behind the pack, he cruised across the finish and was made a national hero
I still laugh when I see that race. Steven Bradbury's gold medal was more than Team GB's entire medal haul in the 2002 games. Team GB were really bad in the Winter Olympics back then.
I think he meant by more common, mainstream sports. Calcio is one of those 'weird' sports that you've never heard of because it's only played in one region and is rare in the first place.
One of my favourite mascots moments (although being a "slightly" biased Swansea fan) is Cyril The Swan punting fellow mascot Zampa The Lion's head during a half-time penalty shootout. Remember: Zampa is the mascot of Millwall!
A couple from the VFL/AFL (The Australian Football League was known as the Victorian Football League at the time because only Victorian teams played in it, it didn't become a national competition until 1990). In a 1982 match between Essendon and Hawthorn, Hawthorn and aussie rules legend Leigh Matthews famously collided with the behind post and broke it clean in half. Legendary VFL personality and commentator Lou Richards promptly dubbed him a "he-man". During a VFL reserves game between the Sydney Swans and Collingwood in 1985 Collingwood reserves footballer John Bourke was reported by the field umpire for kicking a Swans opponent. Enraged, he then kicked and pushed the umpire to the ground when the umpire went to report him. He then punched the Collingwood runner before being escorted off the field, but not before he jumped into the stands to attack a Swans fan. Bourke received the longest suspension in VFL/AFL history-10 years (reduced to 7) and 16 games. He was also convicted of two counts of assault and fined $2000. I highly recommend you watch this incident on UA-cam as the reaction of former Australian cricketer and later successful VFL under 19's and reserves coach Ray "Slug" Jordon is hilarious.
In the same vein as the Rovers chicken, there was Plugga. In a match between St Kilda and Sydney in the AFL in 1993, a pig was released onto the field at full-forward with "PLUGA" spray-painted on one side, and the number 4 on the other, representing St Kilda full forward Tony Lockett, who was said to be built like a pig. Lockett would later join Sydney in 1995, and eventually became the AFL's all-time leading goalscorer. A radio caller who said he brought the pig in stated that Swans players were in on the plan, while former AFL star Peter Hudson, and even the AFL Commissioner were fans of it. But that seems like a few porky pies being told.
This video is bloody hilarious. My favorite weird one is the Phil Dawson field goal that went through the uprights, but landed on the support beam and bounced out. Apparently this had never happened in American football before, and led to a rule being almost made on the spot (which the league made official the following offseason).
The "TImeless" cricket Test Match between England and South Africa at Durban in March 1939. The game was to be played to a finish - no draw when the allotted time (5 days) ended. After TEN days play, and with England needing only 50-odd runs to win, the match had to be abandoned as a draw as the England team had to commence their rail trip to Cape Town in order to catch their ship back home! The pointlessness of both teams playing for so long and neither team winning has always appealed to me.
@@NinhLyUK once a player named Lonnie Smith got angry at the phanatic and broke his leg He is now known for a botched play in the world series where he didn't advance to home for seemingly no reason. He cost them the game.
There was an incident in the USA rugby 7s tournament in 2013 where a skydiver (who was delivering the ball for the final between New Zealand and South Africa) landing on the pitch when the 3rd place play off match between Samoa and Fiji was still being played.
Anything involving Phil Carmen,an Aussie Rules player from the 70's.The most talented and yet most undisciplined player of them all.It all came to a head when he headbutted boundary umpire Graeme Carberry in Round 2,1980,Essendon v St.Kilda.Carmen received a 20 week ban.Or Fine Cotton at Eagle Farm in 1984.A horse racing ring-in that resulted in several life bans,jail terms and incessant media coverage for months.
Eddie Gaedel did get murdered after being followed home; however, it wasn't after the game. It was several years later, when he was bragging about his accomplishment in a bar and some of the other bar patrons absolutely didn't believe him, inciting a bar brawl.
That brawl in a basketball game reminds me of the "Blood in the Water" incident/match during the 1956 Olympics. It was a water polo game between the great water-polo nations of Hungary and the Soviet Union... which happened during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution against the USSR. After a scuffle that led to one of the players bleeding a bit, a small riot (at an _Olympic water polo_ game) and police ending it, the match ended with Hungary winning 4-0.
I'm super biased here but the fan falling into the penalty box with Tie Domi would have been a sick nod especially since now they are friends apparently. Doesn't beat the Boston brawl but still a wild story.
lookin' good Ninh! you must work out. Randy Johnson played for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I grew up in Arizona! I attended the inaugural game for the Diamondbacks and I still have the ticket for the event!
That call play was allowed to stand because, with it being the stanford band, the penalty was against stanford and cal had the option of not enforcing the penalty and taking the existing result of the play instead. Imagine if every penalty had to be enforced no matter what and you could just negate a scoring play by shoving someone down field or whatever.
It was actually Riddick Bowe's entourage that beat up Fan Man, which was much worst for him 'cause Bowe had some unsavory people in his entourage back then.
@@NinhLyUK It's alright. Yeah, I just check the fight myself. I thought for some reason he landed in Bowe's corner, but looking at it again, he actually landed at a neutral corner, but it was in front of many of Bowe's friends and family. (His pregnant wife actually fainted during the incident) So, yeah, they were the ones most pissed.
A few years back, David Ortiz got pissed off and murdered the bullpen phone in the dugout. For the next few games people were asking him to sign their phone.
Only one word in the English language, or indeed any language known to mankind, actual or fabricated, can fully and properly describe the existence of Griity - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Also applies to the Sheffield Wednesday club badge)
You being a United fan, I assumed that you were going to mention the Cantona incident (25th anniversary just passed) but Mike Milbury and the shoe was a great number one.
A funny momment in sport was in darts. It wasnt perticually strange it was just funny and ironic. Phil Taylor in the premier league of darts was on an outshot of 129. He went for T19 (57) Bullseye(50) and then his popular D16 (32) 57+50+32= 139! He busted by 10. Gary Anderson wanted 139! Exactly the same shot!
This happened after the video, but I don't care. Many NFL fans remember this incident. Philadelphia Eagles vs Chicago Bears. Chicago needs to kick a field goal to win the game. They kick the field goal and make it, but the refs said it was invalid because Philadelphia called a timeout like .0000097251573 seconds before the kick. They had to redo it. They kicked the ball and it bounced off BOTH BARS of the goalpost and they lost.
Icing a kicker is more common than you think. The fact that the ball bounced off two posts and didn't go through is infinitely more stranger. Still, it's within the realms of possibility I guess, unlike the ones in this video which you'd never predict in a million years. Thanks though.
To this day, Stanford claims one of the laterals from “The Play” was an illegal forward pass, and the California touchdown shouldn’t have counted. To emphasize this, whenever Stanford receives The Axe (the trophy awarded to the winner of The Big Game), they alter the result of the 1982 game on the plaque from “California 25, Stanford 20” to read “California 19, Stanford 20.”
Not as weird as those moments, but on the hockey front there is my home town team the red wings beating up the colorado rockies. In retaliation for a violent cheap shot from ome of the rockiss players, the red wings targeted him the next year. A fight broke out between 2 players, and then everyone was fighting. The goalies even met at center ice and fought. Paybacks a bitch
Ninh, I have a great video idea about dirty players and teams. "Ninh explains: the dirtiest players in sports e.g: Tyson fury ear biting or Don mcrae punching ronan o gara several times IN THE EYE! "Ninh explains: the dirtiest sports teams e.g argentina rugby. For your intrest it was the tyson ear bite mension that gave me this video idea. This is a SUGGESTION you dont have to do this video. But i think its a good idea.
@Ninh Ly 2:32 the Cal coach at the time had rugby players as walk-ons (non-scholarship players) that whole season. He told them "I'll play you when I need you." Last second of the game.."I need you." No rules against it, all the laterals were legal...Cal wins.
@@NinhLyUK You're welcome! Glad I could provide a little insight. :) I've seen it start to happen more often on trick plays and the end of games, but normally you wanna have the right guys there to catch it lol
@@NinhLyUK Between that and adopting some of the Canadian rules about kicking (if you haven't covered it previously, see the crazy ending between Montreal and Toronto) and it would be perfect.
Regarding Manu Ginobli killing a bat, a similar incident occurred during the 1975 Stanley Cup final when Buffalo's Jim Lorentz swatted a bat out of the air.
UA-cam "Pig at Full Forward". In the early 90s someone put a pig on the SCG at AFL match between Sydney Swans and St Kilda Saints, because Saints power Full Forward, Tony Lockett, went to the Swans
Hi Nikko. I've got a few left to do, but to be honest, there's only so many other sports I can explain before it becomes stale. Having said that, I'm not done yet!
If we're talking about animals in sports try looking up the NHL's weird history with wildlife on the ice. A live chicken, a catfish, an octopus(wtf detroit?). My favourite, the time a bat went flying around the ice until being swatted down by a hockey stick.
"... and she was taken to hospital." Hahahahaha, how delightfully British. Common, I'll order us a Chinese to make up for it Edit: I wonder if Neil Horan is still alive. If so, there should've been 12 ends of the world that he cared about in the mean time (as in, predicted by Christians or physical things; the blood moon twice, and comet Elenin) and lived through.
@@NinhLyUK He later appeared on Britain's Got Talent. 😱 He did terrible Irish dancing, but made it past the auditions because Louis Walsh was on the panel that day. It was quickly pointed out online and in the press who he was, and he was booted out.
3:18 I don't know how they do it in germany, but I know in the U.S. being deemed "Insane" (their words) is not nothing. While you don't get prison, you often get institutionalised for possibly the rest of your lift.
In 2014, a semi-final game of Japan National High School Soften-Baseball (using wholly-rubber-balls to play) tournament between Chukyo High School and Sotoku High School played for 4 days, 50 innings and both teams used only ONE pitcher each to complete the game. Especially MATSUI Taiga, the Pitcher of Chukyo High School, who also pitched from the 4th Inning of the Final and win the Champion only 2.5 hours after win against Sotoku by 3-0. He pitched over 709 balls in 4 days and totally 1049 balls in the tournaments. Holy ****. Now he’s the Ace pitcher of Chukyo Univ. and lead the team get his another Champion last August.

@@NinhLyUK For your information, there's 2 types of dodgeball, American (6 soft balls) and Japanese (1 hard ball). We Taiwanese played in Japanese style.
Bathurst and it's animal incursions. Seriously look it up.

Tire comes off... flies down the straight, slams into a stack of tires and comes to rest at the top of the stack... "Look... i'm just gonna join my friends here alright?" Er. and COUNTLESS massive smashes, and other craziness... If ya interested in NASCAR or other motorsport and you've never heard of the Bathurst 1000 LOOK THAT UP! Or just tune in... It's on Foxtel 8th Oct 2023. :)
The whole “dwarfs in baseball” thing is really mean. Eddie couldn’t help being so small; he had dwarfism which is a medical condition that severely restricts how tall someone can grow and dwarfism can’t be helped. Today, you can find little people who have succeeded at great things, such as “Wee Man” from Jackass. His small size doesn’t stop him from doing stunts
If you want a crazy sports moment lookup the Richard Riot during the 1954-1955 NHL season. The Montreal Canadians leading scorer and local favourite Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard was suspended for the rest for the season for an incident in Boston by the league president Clarence Campbell. Campbell attended the next Canadians home game and a riot broke out. There were other underlying cultural issues but that is the gist of it. Far crazier than other incidents mentioned.
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators. 2017 Stanley Cup Final. Before Predators' home playoff games, a catfish is thrown onto the ice similar to the Red Wings' throwing an octopus before their own playoff games. This game, however, was being played in Pittsburgh, not Nashville. Despite this, one Predator fan managed to sneak a live catfish into the arena and throw it onto the ice in the middle of the game, leading to a stoppage in play and removal of the fan. Any attempt for the fan to rile up the Predator players as a result of the incident clearly did not work, as the Penguins ended up winning the game and the series.
@@NinhLyUKBelieve it's not a party. I just thought of a weird moment in sports history. Cruz Azul is a football team from my country, the team it's known for chocking. So when the team got eliminated in the postseason after 17 years without winning a title, the fans of the team jumped into the field and chased the players, they wanted to beat them. You can search for the footage in the internet. It's really funny. It could be useful to you if you ever want to do a second part.
This case isn't really about rehabilitation vs. punishment. It is about the extent to which a mentally ill attacker can be held responsible. The US system occurs to me as inhumane.
Depends on who you ask? Tonya Harding wasn't directly responsible, but there are reports suggest that she was in on it. A man named Shane Standt was the culprit.

3:18 I don't know how they do it in germany, but I know in the U.S. being deemed "Insane" (their words) is not nothing. While you don't get prison, you often get institutionalised for possibly the rest of your lift.
In 2014, a semi-final game of Japan National High School Soften-Baseball (using wholly-rubber-balls to play) tournament between Chukyo High School and Sotoku High School played for 4 days, 50 innings and both teams used only ONE pitcher each to complete the game. Especially MATSUI Taiga, the Pitcher of Chukyo High School, who also pitched from the 4th Inning of the Final and win the Champion only 2.5 hours after win against Sotoku by 3-0. He pitched over 709 balls in 4 days and totally 1049 balls in the tournaments. Holy ****.
Now he’s the Ace pitcher of Chukyo Univ. and lead the team get his another Champion last August.
The TV footage report at that time:

That's totally crazy, I'm not sure how they had the energy to do that.
So it's basically test cricket but as a baseball.
Boxing? Man, I hope to land in a boxing match after what happend in that hockey game!
Pretty much, yeah!
Who did you say hit Nancy Kerrigan's leg? Monica Salazar? It was Tonya Harding's husband and his friend Shane Stant.
That rainbow afro guy
Yeah, indeed.
In a calgary flamea hockey game a guy jumped onto the ice wearing nithing but socks and passed out on the ice
I can believe that.
can you make a vid about dogdeball?
If I get enough demand, yeah.
@@NinhLyUK For your information, there's 2 types of dodgeball, American (6 soft balls) and Japanese (1 hard ball). We Taiwanese played in Japanese style.

Japanese style playing video.
Bathurst and it's animal incursions. Seriously look it up. Spiny Ant-Eater called an Echidnea invading the track, Someone rolling a friggin boulder onto the track, a big effin Kangaroo jumping onto the track (this happens almost every year...) Er. Yeah... Tire comes off... flies down the straight, slams into a stack of tires and comes to rest at the top of the stack... "Look... i'm just gonna join my friends here alright?" Er.
and COUNTLESS massive smashes, and other craziness...
If ya interested in NASCAR or other motorsport and you've never heard of the Bathurst 1000 LOOK THAT UP!
Or just tune in... It's on Foxtel 8th Oct 2023. :)
Do a video The Rules of Pro Wrestling Explained. That would be fun.
That fake stuff? No thanks.
I got you. I know it is fake. Lots of "marks" don't get it.
You'd be surprised how many requests I actually get for that one.
The whole “dwarfs in baseball” thing is really mean. Eddie couldn’t help being so small; he had dwarfism which is a medical condition that severely restricts how tall someone can grow and dwarfism can’t be helped. Today, you can find little people who have succeeded at great things, such as “Wee Man” from Jackass. His small size doesn’t stop him from doing stunts
True.
Forgot Piet van Zyl tackling the referee
If you want a crazy sports moment lookup the Richard Riot during the 1954-1955 NHL season. The Montreal Canadians leading scorer and local favourite Maurice 'The Rocket' Richard was suspended for the rest for the season for an incident in Boston by the league president Clarence Campbell. Campbell attended the next Canadians home game and a riot broke out. There were other underlying cultural issues but that is the gist of it. Far crazier than other incidents mentioned.
I don't recall that one?
Gritty looks like something out of a muppet's nightmare
Totally.
I saw West Ham win a game, that was strange
It's not as strange as it might appear!
@@NinhLyUK Mind blown
That time Spider-Man invaded a football match
I actually don't know about that one?
It was in a match between Man City and Sunderland in 2014 I think. I was there and it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen at a live event.
Admittedly, it's not the strangest thing I ever saw.
The Neil Horan thing was way weirder. The dude was a priest!
Please do about STIHL...
Timbersports? Not a bad idea!
Fully agree about Gritty.
Totally! Best mascot ever!
@@NinhLyUK Gritty lives on a diet of fascists.
Apparently so, yes!
Gritty is the single greatest thing on the planet
In short, yes. He's certainly a bright spot to the Flyers season, for sure.
Nihn you are awesome, just so you know
Ah thanks bro, I appreciate that, I really do.
Ice hockey is nowhere near the most violent team sport. That award goes to American football.
I respectfully disagree on the premise that American Football players don't break out into fist fights and only get penalised 5 minutes for it.
The underarm bowling incident in cricket.
That was pretty weird, yes.
This is why if you are an opposing fan never go to a Philadelphia flyers game gritty will prolly drop popcorn on you.
Probably sorry
I'd do it in a Leafs jersey just for free popcorn. Beats paying for it.
Can you make a video on the topic "why bat and ball game looses it's popularity".?
Do they? I'm pretty sure Cricket and Baseball is still popular.
5:54 um... u didn't censored the you know what
Yeah, sorry about that bro.
So what.
You don't need to be a PETA nut job to realise that killing a bat like that is a bit unnecessary
How about live catfish being thrown onto the ice at an NHL game, I can't remember who was playing
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators. 2017 Stanley Cup Final. Before Predators' home playoff games, a catfish is thrown onto the ice similar to the Red Wings' throwing an octopus before their own playoff games. This game, however, was being played in Pittsburgh, not Nashville. Despite this, one Predator fan managed to sneak a live catfish into the arena and throw it onto the ice in the middle of the game, leading to a stoppage in play and removal of the fan. Any attempt for the fan to rile up the Predator players as a result of the incident clearly did not work, as the Penguins ended up winning the game and the series.
Yeah, there are other incidents of live animals being brought into games. I find the Blackburn one quite strange as the chicken was in uniform.
Nothing weird, just naked people jumping into the field and brawls inside and outside the stadium.
Brawls are very common in Latin America.
Naked people eh? Sounds like a party!
@@NinhLyUKBelieve it's not a party. I just thought of a weird moment in sports history.
Cruz Azul is a football team from my country, the team it's known for chocking. So when the team got eliminated in the postseason after 17 years without winning a title, the fans of the team jumped into the field and chased the players, they wanted to beat them. You can search for the footage in the internet. It's really funny. It could be useful to you if you ever want to do a second part.
I mean, German prison systems are pretty rehabilitation-focused aren't they? Do they do punitive sentencing there?
This case isn't really about rehabilitation vs. punishment. It is about the extent to which a mentally ill attacker can be held responsible. The US system occurs to me as inhumane.
Lmao
Thanks bro.
The big unit is the goat
I wouldn't say the GOAT, but he's definitely one of the better pitchers of his time.
@@NinhLyUK that's true
Nancy Kerrigan wasn't beaten by Monica Seles husband. It was Tonya Harding they even made a movie with Margot Robbie.
You forgot to add when the Montreal’s Expos mascot was ejected from the game by the Dodgers manager. That I have never seen happen
I didn't 'fotget', I've just never heard of that.
Ejected by the manager (not the umpire)? Are you sure?
The umpire was told by the Manager to get rid of the mascot of the Expos. Look it up

"Blackburn and Wigan players are awful" 😂😂
It's funny because it's true!
@@NinhLyUK yessss 😂😂😂😂
No mention of Tommy Lasorda beating up the Philly Phanatic?
I don't think that was strange, just very ill tempered.
@@NinhLyUK He also got youppi ejected once
Again, more ill tempered and a lack of tolerance toward mascots. But nothing overtly strange about Lasorda's actions.
@@NinhLyUK Lasorda is like that old grandpa who's really gentle but will kick your ass if you mess with him.
1:50 Go Bears
Gig em Aggies. I know that's unrelated, but still.
Like it
Thanks dude.
*Happy montage music playing in the back*
He was followed home and beaten to death
Years later, James ended up killing himself
Yes, happy times?!
Didnt you actually mean Tonya Harding with Nancy Kerrigan
It was implied.
Do rules of pocker
You mean poker?
What about the bloody sunday
I wouldn't say that it was strange, just very violent.
Those aren’t all on big stages like the college ones but that’s ok
They don't have to be?
Ninh Ly oh I know
Why was the Evander Holyfield one was a honorable mention?? It should've have been on the list lmao
Nah, that wasn't weird, it was just downright idiotic.
@@NinhLyUK your right💀
Hahahahahahhahaha I play hockey
The Steve Sullivan incident was also pretty strange. Karma on steroids!
Search "perros en el fútbol". You're welcome.
Ummm, surely that's not real?!
But its Tonya Harding isnt it
Depends on who you ask? Tonya Harding wasn't directly responsible, but there are reports suggest that she was in on it. A man named Shane Standt was the culprit.
@@NinhLyUK thought you said a different name
I think in the video I said 'Monica Seles style', indicating that this was maliciously motivated. I think that was it?
Is gritty you?
Yes.
