Bored World-Class Athletes Take on the Toilet Paper Challenge

The Toilet Paper Challenge is the latest fad to hit the internet with various athletes taking part in juggling a roll of toilet paper. The challenge has become popular over the last few days with people hoarding toilet paper due to the coronavirus. Professional soccer athletes are especially taking to it to show off their ball juggling skills a little differently than usual. The goal is to see how many times you can kick a roll of toilet paper in the air, without dropping it. Well-known soccer players like Lionel Messi, Ricardo Puig, and even coach Thierry Henry jumped in on the action. Whether you're a fan of the sport or not, it's nice to see people find a way to have fun while staying indoors.

A WWE Backstage host made a video on Instagram before her husband, professional wrestler, Jon Moxley, made a surprise appearance. Professional NHL players are putting their own twist on the challenge by using a hockey stick instead of their feet. But who needs a hockey stick to juggle when you're a tennis player with a racket? Everyone has their own way of doing the Toilet Paper Challenge even if that's DJ Diplo with an animated version. We can't all be skilled jugglers after all. It's only a matter of time until people in the video game industry start getting involved. But what will pro gamers and developers use to try to keep a roll of TP in the air? Maybe controllers or headsets, who knows? A number of sports leagues have announced delays and temporary season suspensions such as the NBA, MLB, and NHL to name a few. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games were also postponed to 2021. However, some athletes are still finding ways to compete with F1 drivers racing digitally. Stay safe and healthy during the current COVID-19 pandemic by following guidelines from organizations like the CDC.
