Is this a game or sport or ...?

Reminiscent of the Eton Wall Game, but without the buggery.

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
belgican09
Oh, cool! That sounds like a fun game - thanks for the answer!

Now just imagine if this was in America with black dudes, islanders, and friggin' steroid monsters. I'd watch the shit out of that, bud.
BornToDoStuff
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

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
yoyo42
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.

ESPN 8, The Ocho, covering all rare and obscure sports

If it's almost a sport, it's on the Ocho.

ESPN did do the Ocho for a day. https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017/8/3/16091446/espn8-the-ocho-real-tv-channel Kabaddi is the shit!
kiive
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.
yellowtimer
I would watch a channel of weird sports. I'd probably like sports more that way.

Now this. This is a sport I could have excelled in.

Ah... You have experience in riding the pole?

Anyone else wildly entertained by the life and death battles happening in the bottom right corner?

I'm pretty sure that is called rape.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure one of those guys just got strangled.

And potentially something a little more romantic there at the end...

omg about 30 seconds in an orange guy just like pushes them over and it's the stupidest looking thing

I find this very enjoyable to watch, taken in consideration that I have absolutly no clue of what I'm watching

Competitive pole dancing
Guidocat
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.
NotAPup
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
NotAPup
Whoever in orange can steal a kiss wins. It’s called, blurnsball
Rivalyn
Bo-taoshi The goal is to make them lower the pole. Two teams of 150 players. It's a madhouse.

I thought it was absurd when they used it in the Assassination Classroom manga. Seeing it here, I realize it was kinda accurate.
TinyLiehon
+1 for assassination classroom

I normally don’t go for straight joke manga. Thought it looked and sounded awful. Currently on the 15th volume -_-;;
gprogri
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
gprogri
I was reading into this. They play this in school!! I have missed out
EADimgur
basically until they loose their pole 2/2
DevilDisowned
I love it

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...
Rivalyn
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
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.
Mistruths
Only if it's dead weight.

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.
