Once upon a time on "ABC's Wide World of Sports" I saw an English game called "Bats" I think??? Man oh man oh Maneschevitz. THAT was the most violent crap I ever saw in ANY sport. It was a mixture of field hockey, soccer, and cricket or something. Played at a furious pace, I saw some poor SOB get whacked with one of the bat things and knocked cold...and they just left him lying there and tripping over his conked-out ass and all til some kind of halftime came and they drug him off the field. I guess it has no injury timeouts or something. Takes a "real man" to play that sucker.......or a real idiot (often one and the same).
