Ah... You have experience in riding the pole?
Lol. Well played.

Does the orange team have their own guy on a pole? Is this capture the flag, but with people?
LayDeDeadpool
Yes, basically, whoever gets the pole down first. At the beginning you see the red guys run past, theyre attacking the orange team's pole
Oh, cool! That sounds like a fun game - thanks for the answer!
RudyWolf
I would love this to become a national past time in the USA.
yoyo42
In the US they would end up so padded up for 'liability reasons' that it would be like watching bubble football. 1/2
2/2 Most of the world it would be like soccer and within thirty seconds everybody on both teams would be rolling on the floor faking injury.

I feel like one of the reasons this sport works is because its little 5'4" dudes climbing on each other. Square cube law wouldnt be friendly

Anyone else wildly entertained by the life and death battles happening in the bottom right corner?
I'm pretty sure that is called rape.

I am enjoying watching the guy on the bottom left having his foot held onto
LostMyGlasses00
Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of those guys just got strangled.

Rear naked choke, this game is more fun thatn I thought.
The lifeless bodies in the middle of the frame because each person has another in a hold of some kind XD

Honestly, I think ESPN is missing out, here. There's a lot of obscure things you don't need the know the rules to enjoy.

One team has a guy on a pole, the other team wants that guy off the pole. I gathered this from these creature's behavior.

Guys in orange really like the guy on the pole, guys in white are all in a relationship with him and don’t wanna share him. 1/2
Whoever in orange can steal a kiss wins. It’s called, blurnsball

Its weird when its foreign to you..for me american football is weird...they hardly kick the damn ball but I still enjoy watching super bowl
forloss
As an American, American Football is weird. It is also controlled by a non-profit corporation that doesn't pay taxes. Criminal activity.
Scotticus93
It's called football because the ball is a foot long.

Lol.

Bo-taoshi The goal is to make them lower the pole. Two teams of 150 players. It's a madhouse.

How long does the orange team have to get the pole down?
EADimgur
Orange also has a pole that White Shirts are going after. Each team is split into Defense and Attack squads that can only do that, so 1/2
basically until they loose their pole 2/2
I was reading into this. They play this in school!! I have missed out
zomnoms
I was hoping the goal is to get that one guy off the pole and get one of your guys up on it, like King of the Hill where people are the hill
SolidSketch12
that's what I thought also...
I thought it was but actually he's there to counterbalance the pole when the attackers start to shift it.
kodiak931155
That makes no sense. Adding weight to the top of a vertical pole only makes it easier to topple
Mistruths
Only if it's dead weight.
elendiastarman
There's a thin pole on top that he can use to lean away from vertical and provide more leverage against attackers at the bottom.
