I think this might be the answer
Curling.
Do I have to me good at it or is someone just going to pay me to do it regardless? I guess motorsport
Online Chess is now officially Esport... so that... xD
I'd be the next Hikaru Nakamura, live stream chess stuff and act cool af.
Bowling
Chess
Are we calling chess a sport? In that case why not magic the gathering or black jack
MtG is pay to win these days (by virtue of the series shifts to crazier or more collectible cards) and blackjack is designed to be RNG hell. Why subject yourself to either of those?
I read something about how some grandmasters think so hard that they burn as many calories as pro athletes. Their brains are going so wild that it can cause extreme fatigue and the shakes.
Sounds like a alpha version of a Mentat.
I figure that if you can drink and smoke while you play it without any real impairment of performance, it's not a sport. It's a game.
I thought that up to annoy golfers, but honestly I think it's a fair yardstick.
As a stoner mtg player, some people can drink and smoke while playing. Some people start taking twenty minute turns
Swimming.
Naked twister.
Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport
Depends on the production value, bu most people just use onlyfans these days.
Foxy Boxing
Finally, a person of culture.
If esports count, I'd like to be like this guy and get a contract to play rhythm games professionally
Otherwise... Probably swimming or race walking, not too many professional sports I could think of that one can do into their 60s without wrecking their body
Race car driver
Jerry?
Dude drove so goddamned fast.
I love you two!!!
Disc Golf!
Professional wrestling for me.
Golf.
Biking or swimming
Chess
Yup. I wouldn’t be very good at it, but it’s indoor work with no heavy lifting or cardio, and if it’s my job until I’m 65 that implies that it’ll pay the bills so how good I actually am doesn’t really matter very much
Cricket. There are many different roles in the team and you get to hang out outside with your teammates all day. Also, if it rains you go inside and have something to eat.
Why not pick the laziest sport and try to become a real world Happy Gilmore ( minus all the rage enduced swearing or childish antics on the field ).
MLB Baseball.
Major League Baseball Baseball
Baseball. Try to have a MVP and decorated career, retire, still be involved with the game as a manager, retire from managing, slip into ambassador roles.

Baseball, easy.
Football kicker
For the non-North Americans, the place kicker specializes in kicking the ball through the goalposts. In a sport where most pros have retired by age 40, the best kickers will often play until they’re nearly 50.
Table Tennis. (A.K.A. Ping Pong, but that's actually a trademark)
Esports/mlg. I actually wanted to explore video gaming as a competitive career as a kid, throughout my teens and a bit beyond. Disability and near-death struck at 21 and dashed that, though. I still play rather well for racing games, but fps I struggle competitively due to partial blindness and loss of the use of my right hand. I use an ambidextrous Logitech G903, using both sets of side buttons (both left and right side), if you're wondering; all critical functions and movements go on the mouse, with secondary (like map, equip/use, toss item, inventory/hotbar...) remaining on the keyboard.
Also, while not a sport...
Spoiler
I also looked into being a 'working guy'. My sex drive has always been -really- high, and that stupid saying 'find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life'... well, I definitely love pleasing people. Nearly all my relationships failed because of, or directly linked to, my unquenchable needs (it's not my fault you are studying for a full load of courses and I've been at it for 4 hours, okay?), so...
Disc Golf
Badminton
CS... never was good at it, never will be, but it's somewhat fun at least
Not the most professional, though there are world cups, but playing pétanque is surely something you can do til 65 and beyond!
