Muslim Sport - Zinjanthropos - Nov 7, 2023
I can never find the betting line for this sport. Hard to find the league standings or an injury list.
Being an old-timer makes me more of a traditionalist so can we please get back to the slaughtered goat carcass? Just not the same using a substitute. Who is the athlete here, man or horse?

I wonder if there's a Women's League? World Cup?

Fortunately the medieval tradition of the goat carcass has a good prospect of returning in the future. As decolonization progresses globally, and the vile oppression of Western standards are rolled back and replaced by original native traditions, beliefs, customs.

Who wouldn’t feel free from under the the oppressor’s boot by participating in a good game of Buzkhasi? Yep, for the folks living in the past it’s not going to be progress as the West thinks it. Good thing there’s no Mayans around. Are there still cultures with human sacrifice in their past? Don’t expect the West to bring back Drawing and Quartering, Catherine’s Wheel or even public executions plus a variety of other spectator sports.
