Sports I don't care about: Orienteering

What makes people run around in the woods, trying to find posts before returning to the same place they started?
It's probably the worst sport for the audience that there has ever been, and probably ever will be.
Perhaps only beaten by underwater biking.

At the same time it's horrible for TV.
It's like the person created the sport was a part of some secret society or something, wanting no one to know where he was going.
So let's just hope the deforestation continues so the sport goes extinct.
Do something that is more fun, perhaps cutting off your legs or watching paint dry?

But if we can't kill it, we could take these steps to make it watchable:
- Change the posts with shots of Tequila
- Lose the map
- Lose the compass

If that doesn't work, just have some search and rescue people ready for the morning after.
Good luck finding the drunk orienteerers!
