Watching weird sports on the Winter Olympics like curling and bobsledding made me interested in researching alternative sports. I love watching baseball and football on TV, but it's incredible how competitive and popular alternative sports are that might seem obscure at first glance. Polo is one sport that I've been looking into recently, in particular the amateur polo player Mohammed Babangida.
What is particularly interesting about Mohammed Babangida is that while Polo is primarily a European sport, Mohammed Babangida has brought the sport to Nigeria. It is always interesting to see cross-cultural developments in general and this is no exception to that rule.
