Take Jousting, and replace the horses with angry bulls!
Got a better one.

Make it so that all jousters MUST be left-handed.

I'll enjoy people's initial confusion on this one.

Chess: The pieces are real people, dressed in gear suited to their rank, and provided with a weapon for "removing" captured pieces from play, except for the king, queen, and bishop, who are unarmed.

They must strangle their opponents to death.

Chess: Each player is shackled to a machine that will excruciatingly draw and quarter them. The machine will activate if the player takes more than 30 seconds for a move, or is checkmated. In case of a draw, both machines activate.
The said:
Soccer: Ball explodes if not kicked for 30 seconds.
I'll do you one better: All players have explosives strapped to their backs. Every time a goal is scored, an opposing player's bomb is detonated.
Also, a random American is asked to watch the game, and has his vital signs monitored. If at any point he experiences boredom, all the bombs detonate.

Basketball, but replace it with a contact sensitive bomb where the ticker goes down each time you pass or dribble. Hell, I'd probably actually watch a game or two if it was played like that...

You'd need lots of mops on standby though, it'd be awfully messy.

fishing: all fish replaced with landsharks.
tennis: both the net and the rackets are made of super elastic making the ball fly away with enough force to move the earth several metres every time it hits the ground.
driving cars in circles (i don't care what it's called it's a dumb sport): the track is used as a dumping ground for unwanted military equipment.
running: your clothes are made of stone fish.
fencing (why isn't it called sword fighting?): the blades are made of angry vipers.
boxing: your opponent is a kangaroo.
darts: thrown at a map, a nuke is dropped on the hit location.
shooting: automatically conscripts you into the army and teleports you to a warzone.
base jumping: you don't have a chute, instead you have to land on a trampoline.

*insert any popular sport here*: Give each player a single-shot pistol that they can use at any time during the game. Official/Referee being annoying? Shoot him. Got a player who keeps checking/tackling/etc. your ass? Shoot him. Goalie keeps blocking your shots? Shoot him.

Of course, each player is also given only one round per game, so there's an element of added strategy to when you truly want to use your gun so you don't waste your round. Plus, the added tension of seeing who will snap or get shot first easily would make it more exciting.

Professional Wrestling where they actually take the full force of the moves (Stiff shots) rather than taking bumps and selling punches. Should be good!

100 meter dash and other running "sports," random spike pits open underneath the athletes or hidden landmines, also spring traps.

Or have that boulder trap that Indiana Jones had to evade in that one movie chase after them.

In football, the wishes of many a fan shall be granted and any player who misses either an open goal or a shot from inside the 6-yard box will be taken into the middle of the pitch and have their head blown off by a double-barrel shotgun right then and there. The ball will obviously have to go out of play before the execution can take place. We have to keep our priorities in check, after all.

Football (soccer for the yanks) on ice with iceskates.

Anything involving jumping: replace the bars with either barbed wire or pianowire

hurdling: just make sure the hurdles are properly fixed to the ground.

racing/cycling: no brakes allowed.

pretty much any sport: construct the field out of cobblestones.



captcha: how interesting. It certainly is.
