If sports were played backwards...

The season would start with randomly placed standings and the teams would play the schedule, evening out all the wins and losses until the final game of the season, which would end in a 0-0 tie, with the team having a record of 0 wins, 0 losses and 0 ties.

The season would start with one team jumping around and cheering, then calming down and returning the championship trophy.

Players would go to the penalty box and after a few minutes the referee would blow the whistle and tell the players to leave the box. The best players would spend the whole game trying to take back their points, and the opposing team would spend the whole game trying to stop them.

Fans would come to the game excited and cheering, then as the game started, they'd calm down and relax until the game ended, when they'd stand up head to the concourse, buy a program, return their tickets to the box office and head back to the parking lot.

Coaches would start the game by shaking hands, then yell at their players, then calm down as the score decreased to 0 and then leave the playing field, ignoring everything except the game's strategies, which they think about in detail.

They'd think about the game for the next few days until the beginning of the next game.

The players would show up to practice, exhausted. Then, as they practiced, would gain more and more energy until practice ended, at which point they wouldn't feel tired at all.

The coaches would explain a complicated instruction and the team would practice the instruction well, but get worse and worse at it, the more they practiced; until eventually they couldn't perform it anymore.

Legendary athletes would return all their awards, come out of retirement, do amazingly well, then get worse and worse as they grew younger and younger. Slowly everyone would forget about them.
