This is a super helpful post.<br /><br />I didn't have a hard time figuring out a sport and its rules, but its wider implications in a culture that is so purpose-built and focused was hard for me. Eventually, I figured out that since it can only be "played" during a particular season that the events serve as official marking points of when the season opens and closes, which is also a huge political season among other things. Making the sport a marker of that brought onto the radar for me and made it matter much more to the culture it belonged to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
