I love sports. It's written all over me. I play football and am updated about all the events surrounding it. I try atleast. But I do not stay fixated go just it. I like to participate and watch other sporting activities. And I enjoy the most of them. Even at that, I still hold sentiments.
SourceThe game I'll be talking about might be one of those sports least loved and talked about over here in my country, but also, it's the sport that least appeals to me. Don't even think I like it any bit.
Being a sportsperson, I am open to every game and excited to learn their rules, their terms, how it's played and everything applicable to them.
When I go on to listen to the news, or watch something on the TV and it comes on, I unconsciously let out a sigh. Let me save you some trouble of guessing by letting you know that the one sport I do not fancy so much is Rugby. I only recently learned, by reason of this post, that there's two kinds of the game; Rugby league and Rugby Union. You can imagine how confused I got. I've spent a while trying to learn about the sport only to find it's of two kinds, each with their own rules. That's not even the issue.
First off, the game is complicated, very much. It's not even a game you can play anywhere. I still try to understand why a dozen men have to go atop each other -with so much force that could cause things to crumble ad even dislocate bones- to struggle for a ball and why the ball spends so much time under a pile of bodies.

And then, there's the rules. Very difficult to comprehend. For as awasy as I tried, I still do not get them. With all of the pushing, falling and jumping on, the game comes off unhealthy and like it would have adverse health effects(maybe not immediately). It's just as volatile as wrestling, maybe 3ven more, that I wonder if the person down the pile of bodies doesn't get hurt from all of the weight on him or runs out of air.
Too much of energy, stamina and agility is required and as it looks, not everyone can partake in the game(first take a good look at the players, all sturdy).
I have since lost the zeal to learn all of the game's rudiments. There seems to be too many and none at the same time. One cannot even tell when there's an infringement on the rules. It's a whole lot for me.
Any other sport I don't like very much is not as bad as this. I can manage. Rugby's complexities arise from every single aspect of the game, in my opinion and it seems a little weitd. Maybe in the future if get to understand the game(not play, lol) but right now, it is what it is. And that's it for this blog-topic.
Thanks for stopping by.
