The 10 most cathartic sports to quit mid-game in honor of De'Vondre Campbell

San Francisco 49ers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell brought honor to all who feel that quitting in the middle of a game is one of life's most cathartic blessings.

Campbell committed the "unforgivable sin" of quitting on his team in the middle of a rainy game in Santa Clara, which sounds to us like he's just got common sense and was tired of playing for a bad football team. Quitting should be more normalized. It is entertaining. It is purifying. It is sporting incarnate. Take your ball and go home; that's the glory of competition when it goes sour.

As fans of quitting while the getting is good, we've come up with 10 sports where throwing it all away before it's over is part of fun. Here's to you, Campbell. Your coaches and teammates may not be thrilled with you right now, but you're a beautiful quitter in our book.

If you notice football and basketball aren't on this list, it's because quitting during those sports isn't cathartic at all... unless it's your ball and you're taking it home. We're treating Campbell like a villain?! It's cold rain! They're genuinely not paying that poor guy enough to go out there and play in the elements.

10. Tennis

Tennis is designed for quitting. You can really lean into the theatrics of taking out a lifetime's worth of rage on your tennis racket in front of millions watching in the stands and at home.

9. Javelin

Look, do you want to be near a disgruntled javelin thrower who has stopped caring where the javelin goes? We don't think so. For the power trip alone, quitting javelin has its sick perks!

8. Baseball

Do you want to quit during baseball? You can in a blaze of glory. Smash your bat, destroy your dugout, yell at some umpire nearing his MLB pension like he insulted your grandmother.

7. Hockey

Hockey is a game where grown men quit playing all the time to beat up on an opponent and go sit in timeout until it's time to play again. Quitting mid-game in hockey is very easy and very fun.

6. NASCAR

Want to quit during a NASCAR race? You just decide to give up driving and turn the racetrack into a frenzied display of pinball fireworks. The spectacle of cosmetic wreckage is worth it alone. Just make sure you treat it more like bumper cars and not like a Mad Max: Fury Road war rig.

5. MMA

If you get mad during an MMA match, you can just leave the octagon and whale on some unsuspecting person in the crowd. They came for a fight, bring it to their seat! You'll win that round.

4. Board/card games

There are few greater acts of catharsis in this world than flipping a table over and sending game boards, pieces and cards flying into the air in a fit of anger. For a brief second, you are a god.

3. Video games

Rage-quitting video games: an American pastime. Pulling the cord, screaming swear words, throwing the controller at the television and contemplating the meaning of life while you swig Mountain Drew in your basement on a rainy Saturday afternoon is what it's all about.

2. Rowing

Oh yes, rowing is second on this list. Defiantly jumping into the water in the middle of a sprint down the river is the definition of freedom. There is no saving the crew. You have spit in the eye of sports.

1. Golf

Happy Gilmore proved it. Bringing a break-stuff mentality to the gentleman's game is the greatest catharsis in all of sporting. Throw your golf clubs, scream at the ball, punch your celebrity golf partner. Break down the decorum of the country club and create a little anarchy. It's beautiful.
