Afghan Rodeo

rmd22
You might have seen this game in Rambo III, or maybe not...It is Afghanistan's national sport "buzkashi", a game played on horseback that involves dragging a headless animal carcass around a wide open field. We check out the sanitized and less gory US debut of this sport.

    • I am not a cowboy but it seems to be funny to play this game. I work with a lot of Afghanistan's people and that's how I learned about. Keep going!

    • cool sport. I wish I had seen something like this before I was too old to participate in it.

      This is the type of stuff that needs to be on espn alternative and other sports shows that claim to offer shows for us folk who appreciate different and challenging new things to see and try.

      I am going to have my son watch this video too, its cool, and he has seen it on rambo... so why not let him see it done right here in the us.

    • Wow,
      To see alternative and exciting sports is always awsome, to say nothing of learning another culture.
      I hope to see a lot more about this sport. It sure beats the heck out of watching a bunch of lazy rich people in funny pants playing polo.

      Great video.

    • This is the greatest game I have ever seen. The excitement of this game is tremendous, when you see strong horses and strong men are working together to reach the target location fighting with the opponent team. I am hoping to see more of this game across US and Canada that would make a big difference when it comes to rodoe and the afghan way of Rodeo.
