Lots of sports have balls. There are many that have not been used yet.

You forgot hockey pucks...

Other than footballs, I don't care what they have for a game piece. I just want there to be something on the side of the field for me to lean on in between matches. My feet hurt from those long days.

Maybe we can convince the GDC to incorporate La-Z-Boy chairs into the playing field. That would be awesome.

Nope, they weren't forgotten, just intentionally excluded from the answer. The preceding question was specifically about sports with balls. Hockey pucks, no matter how intriguing as a game piece, did not fit the original criteria.

In the mean time, the idea of La-Z-Boy chairs as part of the play field is very intriguing. I am sure such an idea will require a long and very arduous test phase to determine exactly which model of chair is most appropriate as both a field element and referee station. As part of this test phase, I would expect to see Aidan sleeping on the job for most of the upcoming season.

Hey, Dave, make Aidan sit on an Outpost seat from Lunacy to sleep. Might work better than a La-Z-Boy, plus saves the cost of one chair for the GDC...

Those are actually quite comfy. I have one. An official one. Human players in the outpost in 2009 didn't have it too bad - they got to sit the entire match, AND the chair was somewhat comfortable!
However, a La-Z-Boy has cushioning. And a footrest. Maybe if the game involved throwing the cushions around...
