You had me until cycling. Which would clearly be "ball-less tech polo" or something like that ๐คท๐ป
We sometimes call bicycles "wire donkeys"
Only in the US, though. It's yet another of their silly regionalisms that confuses everyone.
Cars are horseless carriages. Does that mean they are more or less likely to fall into the football category?
Those are wheelies in America
Counterargument. I've never seen cycling done on horseback. Therfore it is football.
Unless we classify a bike as a mechanical horse. Then we have mountain horsing, road horsing. Trick horsing. And all the velodrome horsing events.
I've never seen it done on foot or with a ball either, though.
Two-wheel chasies?
Or as a compromise, Wheelhorsing around?
There are not many sports left to invent.
Bike Football
Horse Rugby (as seen in rambo)
The fuck did I just watch?
