I Tried the World's Deadliest Game in Afghanistan

🆘 UPDATE: SINCE MY TRIP TO AFGHANISTAN, THE TALIBAN HAVE BEEN TAKING OVER THE COUNTRY, KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE AND TAKING AWAY HOPE FROM A NATION ALREADY DESTABILIZED BY 40 YEARS OF WAR. PLEASE DONATE TO STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN AND HELP THEM SURVIVE THIS ORDEAL: https://www.gofundme.com/f/bjben-afghanistan-a-call-for-urgent-help —— → Join me for daily adventures on Instagram: https://instagram.com/evazubeck​ → For exclusive content and updates, sign up to my Patreon: https://patreon.com/evazubeck → Massive thank you to Reza and Zahra, who run Authentic Afghanistan, for helping me create this video! Check them out here for the best of Mazar-e-Sharif and its surrounding areas: https://instagram.com/authentic.afghanistan Buzkashi is NOT a game for the faint-hearted. An ancient game played on horseback, it involves throwing the carcass of a goat (or calf) into a goalpost, as hordes of other horseback riders swarm around you, trying to tear it away from you. Believe it or not, it's been my dream for a long time to see a buzkashi game in Afghanistan. It's one of the national sports here, and a longstanding tradition that draws thousands to stadiums across the country. And finally, on a trip to Mazar-e-Sharif, I got to experience buzkashi for myself... Heck, I even tried to learn how to "play it"... That didn't go so well 😜 → Thank you to my wonderful supporters on Patreon: Positive Travel, @inspiring.positive.travel Hessa Murad, @hessstory Katarzyna, @katarzyna_photo_equine Carlos, @carlosonthego_ Jay Palfrey, @jaypalfrey Found & Lost Justin Anderson Niklas Parra Alexandre Mutran Fred Christoph Apfel Gary Dell Martin Vee Wayne Huang Carlitos Jeffry Watson Patrick McKenna Juergen Rehbein Dalibor from sLOVEnia Bulent Alkanli, @_bulentalkanli_ Sara Rijaluddin Kristy Tayara Geanina Butiseaca Abram Cortinas Steven H + My anonymous Polish friend, J. :)
