Football --> Footbail
Competiors take it in turns to bail out someone who has commited vile crimes and been caught but yet to be tried in court. The winner of the game is the person who manages to secure bail for the worst offender, judged either in terms of numbers of crimes commited or the vileness of the crime.

Varients include:
Beach Footbail - Criminals have to connected to the seaside before the competitors attempt to get them out on bail.

American Footbail - US version but where criminals have to find someone willing to pay the competitors bail bonds and so secure their release from Police custody. The winner is the one who can get someone else to pay the highest bail bond cost.

Skeleton - Skeletor

A fast winter sliding sport in which a person rides a small sled down a frozen track while lying face down in an attempt to escape from the muscular blue humanoid with a purple hood over his yellowing bare-bone skull who is the archenemy of He-Man. Forces of up to 5 g and speeds of over 80 mph can be reached to avoid capture from the being who seeks to conquer Castle Grayskull so he can learn its ancient secrets, which would make him unstoppable and enable him to conquer and rule all of Eternia.

Is rucking a sport in itself, or just a part of rugby?

Wouldn't know which letter to change, though. I'm too innocent.

Touch rugby....Torch rugby.
Same principle....each player carries a flaming torch and once a member of the opposition is firmly ablaze, they have to withdraw from the game.
