Funny enogh, I was just thinking of this last Wednesday. Don't look
at me weird but I recommend all space advocates to start watching
Hockey. I'm not a big sports fan but was sitting in a bar and a Hockey
game was on. While watching it, I came to the realization that Hockey
is a great analogy for future zero-g sports. Though primarily a 2-d
game, it is played on a relatively frictionless surface and most of
the game is based on vectors constant momentum and built-up velocity.

So, if you want to start thinking about space sports, start watching
Hockey.
