True Story - Afghans Ntl Sport

[hammersley]

Ok I know this looke like a BS story but it was reported on Sept 27 (last Thursday) page 15c of the USA Today - under Update - left side of page: Now READ the entire passage - DON't STOP at the beginning like I did when a friend showed me... .



AFGHANS seek to make cricket, not war.



"Despite the threat of war, Afghanistan on Wednesday asked permission to take part in a cricket tournamnet that Pakistan is hosting next month... ... Cricket grew popular in Afghanastan in the 1880's but trails the national sport buzkashi, in which teams of horsemen vie for possession of a headless goat!"

Now where are the flaming liberals on this one - they won't touch this with a 20' pole!
