I have “gallic football” games on tape given to me by a friend who is a fan from the local IA Club. I was once asked if I was a communist or a little queer because I don’t get into American spectator sports. I showed them part of the tape and a schedule of the games (that I had picked up at an Irish festival), claiming to be a fan. That shut them up……NOW. It’s kind of like combination of American football, soccer and rugby without padding or rules.:whiteghos

Wait until you see “HURLLING”! It’s played on a soccer type field also, in the same kind of uniforms, with something the size of a softball and EVERY player has a wooden bat. UN-FUCKING BELIEVEABLE! The game goes on while the guys with the stretcher go onto the field and rescue the injured players. The players aren’t “suppose” to interfere with the medics.
