The good folks at The Offside found this video reenacting the traditional Japanese football game of Kemari, which I wrote about a couple of months ago.

I’m sure it was a simpler time 1,000 years ago, but man, if I were a kid visiting Japan, and this was what the fam stopped to watch, I’d be tugging on my dad’s pantleg and saying, “Whennawe gonna ride Steel Dragon? Whennawe gonna ride Steel Dragon? Huh? Huh?”

On the other hand, if we stopped to watch this… well, things would be very different, wouldn’t they?
