Sports I Could Get Into: Freestyle Bullfighting
This is the first entry in a new segment here at AoS, where I look for sports that could hold my interest. Mind you, these are sports I could get into WATCHING, not competing in, as Freestyle Bullfighting is on another list of mine, called The Stupidest Things I Could Ever Choose To Do.
Freestlye Bullfighting is a sport rooted in the american tradition of rodeo clowns. Whereas spanish bullfighting features matadors facing off against a bull using only a cape, half a dozen assistants, lances, swords, and barbs coated with tranquilizing drugs, freestyle bullfighters come to the party packing the REAL heat: Juke moves.
That's right.
Freestyle Bullfighting is essentially running around trying to fake out this bull, seeing how much you could mess with it. It's kinda like playing tag with your baby cousin, if your baby cousin was like, 8000 pounds of muscle and rage. How can you not love a sport whose premise is "Hey look at that huge deadly monster of an animal... I'm gonna go backflip in its face."
I shit you not. Backflip.
