What's going on in the Poloverse

I am going to Warsaw in mid Feb. Sweet polo in the middle of the national stadium FTW! ;)

solo polo?

I read this and its disappointing. Were are all the British colloquialisms? http://www.goalhole.com/polo-dictionary/

good ol GQ eh Em? ;)

ha.

I like the Beavers. Actually really nice guys and they play a good game.

Pity about the misogyny though.

I'm keeping my mouth shut on that bit.

Which bit should I skip to for the misogyny?

maybe im blind but i missed the misogyny. Loved the bit about polo player going from 0-30mph in 3 seconds on court though

large companies are sniffing around, too. Dillman pauses the game and pulls up a few ads on youtube – two from banana boat sunscreen, one from nike, one from adidas. The beavers know all of the players featured in each of the commercials by name, and they chuckle together at the adidas ad – a documentary-style mini-profile of britain’s all-female “tornado riders.”

“they found like the six attractive girls in the sport and put them in one room,” dillman says. “it’s really funny to see it portrayed this way.”

lpc!!!

It's what can be construed from the bit about the London Ladies ... but that video was a problem for many reasons. Not particularly thrilled to be reminded of it in GQ.

Tornado riders isn't even a real thing!

The mocking could largely be seen as being directed towards Adidas and the presentation of the advert, but it doesn't hide the fact the polo players featured in it are the punchline and are said to be remarkable not for their playing skills but for their appearance.

Considering that is the only part of the four page article which mentions women play in the sport at all (let alone that it is co-ed), is a pity.

hahahahha

(I just enjoy that gif)

H-bomb!http://321polo.net/2014/01/a-conversation-with-nahs-john-hayes/

Admittedly, this bored me to tears.

I love it when big stupid corporations afillation comes and bites you in the arse! Much wow so cheap bike polo sold Adidas much wow

I found H-bomb's interview quite interesting. It's pretty dry but there's lots of good info on potential tournament formats in there.

Idiot abroad, genius

I should have added the caveat that I don't find bike polo logistics very interesting.

I prefer the drama.
