Planet Earth's fastest field game. Originated in Ireland and is over 2000 years old - it shows up in ancient Irish legends. Slightly similar to Field Hockey but played mostly in the air rather than just on the ground. Players can catch the ball, run it for a few steps, or run unlimited steps with the ball balanced on the end of the stick. The target is a set of H-posts like in Rugby but with a net on the bottom section like in Soccer. You get one point for putting the ball over the bar (known as a point) and three for putting it in the net (known as a goal). Physical contact is allowed. Helmets are optional.

Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky 

Quoted from youtuber Captainsparklez also known as Jordan Maron. This quote suggested that as sharks have to keep swimming as to not sink, hummingbirds can't stop flying because they can't land. Of course, hummingbirds can land and Jardon was wrong.
"It just flies forever, it's stuck there like the Sharks of the Sky because most sharks can't stop swimming either. That's probably the first time anyone's ever said that Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky, and I'm going to own up to that."
