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.
Snooker.
This was my first thought. Honourable mentions to golf and darts.
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.
The post said that you'd be forced to play the sport till 65, not that you need to be good at it, I'll have a long career of losing matches then lol

Swimming.
Archery
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.

Ping pong. You might think all the humiliating losses as my reflexes slow down might become hard to take, but if they don't bother me now, why should it bother me later?
Rowing or swimming. As long as I'm not trying to be world record level, I won't be ruining my body. If I'm just training as much as they do, it won't be much worse than a full time job.
I would have picked skydiving, but the lead exposure is a little too much for me to want to do it as a 10 jumps a day type of job.

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
Marion Tinsley died at age 68 while still holding the World Checkers Championship. A number of chess players including Ivanchuk and Anand are in their 50s and still mighty strong, though not WC strength.

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

Billiards.
Can I get pool instead, billiard is hard.
Race car driver
Jerry?
Quidditch, because it would change the laws of physics and everything would probably explode in a hilarious hellfire

Do esports count? Because that.
Every last one of you could have chosen drone racing and yet none of you did.
Drone racing.
Professional wrestling for me.
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.
Darts
How about E Sports? I'm not competitive good, but I can play video games all day.
Disc Golf
Biking or swimming
