    The article is actually about Afghanistan wanting to play cricket in Pakistan next month but the last paragraph is about the great game of buzkashi:

    It has never, however, rivaled the popularity of the national sport, buzkashi, in which teams of horseman vie for possession of a headless goat carcass, tearing it apart in the process. To the casual observer, it appears to have few rules

    This would definitely do better than the XFL on tv.

    I have seen it in a couple of movies, and asides for the animal cruelty and the sheer barbarism of it, it is rather cool. :cool:

    not so sure but the sport name "buzkashi"
    might means something like "Suicidal kiss"
