Poopies, Zackass, and Houston Jones endure sports' most painful moments in a new 8-episode series.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Creator Sports Entertainment Network (CSEN) has wrapped production on its new original series, Sports Hurts. The eight-episode extreme reality comedy stars Jackass favorites Poopies and Zackass alongside viral creator Houston Jones as they tackle sports most painful challenges, hosted by legendary athletes like Cam Newton, Kurt Angle, Rampage Jackson, and Ryan Sheckler. Directed by Royal Malloy, the series also features multi-platinum artist Lil Pump as the cast's inner conscience.

CSEN is betting big on Gen Z and Millennials by marrying Vine-era chaos with the absurdity of sports. While legacy networks rely on stale broadcast formats, CSEN uses a meme-first, highly clippable approach to capture the younger audience traditional media left behind.

"It's bigger, funnier, more dangerous, and unlike anything audiences have seen before," says Derrick Brown, President and CCO of CSEN.
