Re: Rio Olympics 2016
Field hockey is not the skill game it used to be. Growing up, we played it the way it was supposed to be played. No astroturf. We had bully off to start the game. Even penalty corners were bully off. Then the west changed the rules. Penalty corners were simpky push to player at top of circle and hit (yes this happened while I was playing). Then astro turf. Now players just hit from one end to other. Scoops. The reverse stick shots. It is a joke. There hardly appears to be any wrong side. Just slam bam thank you maam
