I propose a sports league where teams are formed by ideological positions. For example, one week you could have the socialist playing basketball vs. the capitalist.

Instead of the Russians fighting real wars, and killing each other, we tried to get more gold medals than the soviet union... It would be like that... I way to fight your opponent with basketball :)

Possible rules:

1. Players could be given one day to make up your mind. Do you want to be on the pro-choice team, or the pro-life team?

2. Players would be able to try and influence their friends to join their side.

3. Presentations could be made to everyone be experts representing each side.

4. Professors could be available to talk with each of the players.

5. Players could post their reasons for joining each team

6. At first it may seem like it would be difficult to produce even sided teams, however I think this is where it gets cool. Extreme positions would have to be moderated until the wording for each side’s positions produced evenly sized teams.

7. Different leagues with different rules could spring up. The league with the best rules would eventfully become most popular.

Origin of Idea: When watching the movie Troy, I started thinking about the old custom of letting two warriors fight instead of forcing the whole army to fight. And I guess the idea makes sense. You have the best person from each side. That kind of tells, statistically speaking, which society deserves to win, because they are able to produce more excellent specimens.
