We can all remember the times when we played pillow fight with our siblings, cousins, friends when we were younger right? Well, what if our childhood "games" turned into a real sport with championships and world cups? That would be crazy, huh?! But.. it's true!
Pillow fighting is a now a Sport supposedly. The rules for this game is that there are two rounds, the rounds are fairly short only two minutes. You get points for hits to the body and head (just like boxing) but with the pillow of course, no hands allowed. If the player turns their back or falls to their knees then they will be penalized.
If you still don't believe me that this is a sport, there was even a Pillow Fight World Cup before and that was located in Brooklyn, New York. There were eight contestants from around the world.. Austria, Sweden, Japan and the USA.
Do you think pillow fighting would be easy? Would you want to challenge someone to a pillow fight? I think the rules should be who ever breaks their pillow with all the feathers coming out should be the winner, lol. =)

ahaha nice!
weird but kinda neat
i don't think pillow fighting should be a sport, lol. it's still pretty intense! pillows can hurt.
now that is a little ridiculous
It seems full but it can hurt.. LOL
I know guys think pillow fights are cute or sexy or whatever, but I hate pillow fights. Those things fricken hurt. Take a blow to the head that knocks you over and then tell me that pillow fights are cute....Cool as a Sport though haha
oh man i gotta join this sport
Interesting haha but I can't really see it as a sport. So many different things are sports these days.
I love playing it
It looks strange and looks so violent or that it could possibly be violent haha. The chick in the second picture in the red shirt looks like she has strong arms. She'd beat my ass down for sure. I'd probably run around the ring trying to avoid her ahhh get away.
Lol, anything can be sport nowadays.
haha funny, don't look like a sport to me lol
weird but kinda cool.
thanks for sharing
Kinda weird, but I could get use to it.
