I love sports! If there’s one thing everyone knows about me, it’s that I love sporting around with my pals.

However, one thing that has been tugging at me lately as I’ve been shooting a “basket” or throwing the “pigskin” around, is that while I’m playing one sport, I’m too preoccupied to play another sport. I can’t do both!

Sure, I could get into biathlons, but that’s only two sports; not enough to quench my thirst for competition. I retreated to the internet for an answer to my dilemma.

Then that’s when I saw it…

This sport, created in Russia, is called Rugball, a cross between rugby, basketball, and wrestling. It is also the best combination of two unlike things I have since peanut butter first met jelly.

What are the rules? I honestly could not tell you, though based on the description of the game, I am inclined to say they consist of a mix between the three sports. Regardless, while watching that clip, I couldn’t help but shake the feeling that games of Rugball might soon be broadcast to homes across the nation come the next summer Olympics…
