Amazing, brutal spectacle of Afghanistan's national sport. It is like polo, but with a headless goat for a ball. No teams on this day, no rules (except no women allowed to attend,) and no real separation between the playing field and the spectators. It is a close representation of the entire culture. The video is rough, but the photos attached in the second half are pretty good.
