What the hell is “goat polo?”
Wednesday, March 13, 2013 15:56
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
I’d read several accounts of a suicide attack in Afghanistan the other day. It happened at a “sporting match.”
I was eventually able to determine the nature of that sporting match; goat polo.
Goat polo? OK, I get it. I know what polo is; similar to field hockey except you play it while mounted on a horse. I naturally assumed that, given the backwardness of Afghanistan, they played the game whilst mounted on goats.
Boy was I ever wrong!
Apparently they have the horses. According to Al Jazeera it’s called goat polo because it’s played with the headless carcass of a goat instead of a ball.
Who knew?
