Afghanistan’s Weird National Sport Called Buzkashi


The photo above shows Afghanistan’s weird national sport in action, its called Buzkashi and involves a group of horse-mounted warriors and a game ball, which is basically a dead goat.

There are no real rules and the goat has had its legs cut off at the knees, disembowelled, beheaded and soaked in cold water for 24 hours to toughen it up. Sometimes you have to ask yourself…WHY?
