Football Of Yet ANOTHER Kind
Rugby Sevens.
NBC just showed the Championship Invitational Tourney over the weekend. It's faster than soccer, just as hard-hitting as American rules but without those dumb stoppages of play, as high-flying as basketball and about as easy to watch/understand as hockey. And the dudes playing it were awesome. (I don't often say that about athletes. Just ask my brother.)
And they'll be playing it as an Olympic Games sport starting in 2016.
