Nearly each series had a favorite sport/activity, What should Discovery’s be?


I think it would be really fun, and really, considering that millions of people on this planet who play it, it's appropriate. And it's loud and fast-paced, or can be.

And think of the cool future version of the automatic mahjong table they could come up with.

The official DSC activity could be pranking / explaining human comedy to Saru.

Stamets: 'Saru, you son of a bitch! You amputated my leg while I was asleep! What the hell, man?!'
Saru: 'Indeed I did! Was that not amusing?'

Nah that's more Orville. Tbh, I wondered what hockey would be like in the Disco timeline
 
Jump to galaxies and dimensions unknown and compete at whoever can break the here-to-fore undeveloped Prime Directive faster than anyone.

+100 - causing the civilization to collapse in on itself
+90 - destroy the civilization directly
+75 - significantly curtail progress - can never achieve warp capability
+50 - regress to make warp drive available after 1000+ years
 
Boomerang Throwing... With a Kangaroo trained to bring it back when you fail to throw it correctly...
 
I wonder why they don't have any zero-gravity sports, one would think that's one thing that could actually be fun and cheap to achieve on a starship, just turn off the artificial gravity.

Incredibly violent and grimdark. Copious amounts of gore for no reason. Burnham saves the day.

Any favorite sport or activity would instantaneously become boring for the crew, since Burnham is The Most Amazing Human Being Who Ever Lived, and would win at them all.

Spock played Three-Dimensional Chess to show how smart he was, chess commonly being thought of in western culture as a game smart people play.

However, AI research showed that Go is actually much harder for computers to master than Chess, although recent advances have computers beating grandmasters, such as when Google's AlphaGo computer beat world-class player Lee Sedol in 2016.

So... the answer is obvious. Discovery crew members need to play three-dimensional Go/Weiqi.
