Actually, the clip showed them playing on horseback, WW.
[edit] Thanks for the great article on buzkaski, Sparteye! Maybe they did say "the headless body of a goat" on CNN, or maybe they taped a variation that day. Anyhow, I stand corrected...accuracy must prevail!
And, hi Max! Here's a little somethin' for you from the article:
The only sport supported by the Taliban was, of all things, cricket, which they had learned in exile in Pakistan. It sounds like a joke but it is not: Afghanistan had sent a cricket team to Pakistan for a tournament when the war started.
As it happens, cricket is famous for not having any action for long periods of time. Of course, to the Taliban, who wished all action except praying to stop, this was the perfect game.
So let us not be too superior: We might all rush out and ride after dead goats if cricket had been our only sporting outlet. [running and ducking for camoflague cover to hide from Max-e! Hey, they weren't my words!]
