OT: This got me thinking...
"Isn't that called polo?"
It could be, if I used a stick and a ball. Just grass and a horse, and I'm happy. I've always liked individual sports that use primarily the human body and some kind of apparatus (like a horse or skis). Although I do love games that require a stick and a ball, of which there are a surprising number. For me, though, the bigger the head on the stick the more I like playing the sport. I got to thinking about this because, while fun, the concept is kind of silly. There's tennis, racquetball, squash, cricket, baseball, golf, polo, hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, billiards, croquet, stick ball that I can think of--there must be more. None of these are individual sports, except golf, unless you consider that it is played in groups, by doctors.
There are fewer sports that use only a ball, like football, so perhaps these are more primitive (but not lacking in complexity and subtlety)?.
Then there's the very primitive sport generated by football, requiring only fingers and a part of a brain--trolling.
