Let’s just say watching sweaty men hurling themselves onto one another over a simple piece of leather for the pure sake of entertainment was not high on the list of how I wanted to spend my time. It did not help the fact that the only exposure I had ever had with the sport was after opening the doors of Phase Three during cross country season.
