Jim Rome went on a 15-minute rant today on his radio show about this obscure British “sport.” There is even a SKAB (Shin Kicking Association of Britain).

There, I fixed that for you.
This is as intelligent as UFC, boxing, hockey, and any other sport which requires brawn above brains. Football is intelligent due to the extreme use of brains to plan out plays and the brawn needed to carry out the plans. The brainiacs are the QBs, until the second concussion.
It’s no longer a few mates wobbling home from the pub, but massive binge drinking. It’s not safe to walk many streets at night fearing some yob will burst a bottle over your head. What the current generation is going to do for livers I have no idea, other than die early.
This is from a country where the people still don’t understand how to use a toothbrush. What do you expect?
The fruit of thousands of years of inbreeding.
You really do get some of the more idiotic and racist redneck remarks on this blog.
Looks like judo to me.
There is not much difference between shinkicking and listening to that no-talent Jim Rome.
Never heard of this ‘sport’ before but it does look better than wrestling. Just another way for men to get up-close and roll around on the floor with eachother. At least these guys aren’t wearing spandex briefs so I’m guessing it won’t cross the Atlantic and take off in a big way like wrestling is in the US.
BTW, has everyone visited their website and signed the petition? The association wants to get it adopted as an Olympic sport.
It’s way more exciting than golf. I’ll tell you that.
I think it’s time for your tea #7.
Where is Monty Python when we need them?
i love the white lab coats…. mad scientists at work!
Don’t know Jim Rome.
Never heard of skin kicking as a sport.
Have heard of Britain.
Know the yobs tend to drink too much and puke on the sidewalk.
Still, you gotta respect a sport where you stuff your pants with straw, don a lab coat, embrace your mate and fall in the mud.
haha!
It actually looks pretty fun. There were a couple of nice shin kicks which knocked them down. There was also a couple of moves that were closer to throws if you ask me. They should get a more structured set of rules and have them properly refereed. Some of those take downs were more the guy just showving his body weight, than a well places kick.
I have always known the Pommies were stupid, this just demonstrates it.
Wow! You actually listen to Rome? You must love Sean Hannity then. Blow hards that promote themselves and do nothing significant.
