Sport of Kabbadi Played in New York City: Covering a game of kabbadi recently played in Queens, the New York Times describes the Punjabi sport as "a combination of rugby and wrestling -- without the ball and the protective gear -- with a helping of the old New York street game ringalevio thrown in." Video of play from a World Cup match between India and Pakistan.
That's an awesome sport.

The player that goes across the confront the other team solo has to hold his breath the entire time he's in enemy territory or he's out.
Could this rule please be applied to political campaigns?

Howard_T, do you really want them all yelling, "Kabbadi kabbadi kabbadi kabbadi" all the time?

It makes as much sense as what they are yelling now.

I hit the registration wall on the NYTimes link, so maybe there's more on how the game is played there, but I went to wikipedia to figure out what was going on in that second link.
The player that goes across the confront the other team solo has to hold his breath the entire time he's in enemy territory or he's out. His goal is to wrestle down one of his opponents and then get back into his home territory before taking a breath.
