Gayseball

Throwing is such an essential part of what makes us human, it seems a shame to waste it on the opposite brothels of baseball and juggling, much in the same way that flying is wasted on the opposite brothels of jet manufacturing and bird watching.

There must be some gentle artistic "gay" middle way. With flying this would be human-powered flapping flight using semi-rigid body extension wings, 3d printing, modern materials and lots of experimenting to create smooth graceful human powered air- swimming.

With throwing it seems to me there should be some kind of equivalent middle way -- an art/sport that fully engages the uniquely human ability to throw, but that doesn't reduce it to the bare essentials of either speed and accuracy, like with baseball, or whatever juggling measures, which I guess is more about management than about the art of throwing.

Gayseball would just be an individual performance sport with judging and lots of Slo-mo replay technology, and might use a ball that has aerodynamic qualities that allow the pitcher to put a real spin on it, and then a firework-like aspect to exaggerate the personality of the spin.

So the ball itself could be artistically and scientifically colored so that it produces an interesting visual display when it is thrown, winged or pitted to exaggerate the spin effects and then have some kind of slow break-apart aspect or a small explosive that would send equally-interestingly accoutremented ball-lets into a swarming patern. Computing and fire could be added in at some point just to be totally gratuitous.
