Have any of you ever heard of Murderball? Murderball is one of the most intense sports that I have ever seen. Murderball what it is called in the United States was invented in Canada in the 1970's. The sport has been around for almost forty years and has been brought to twenty countries. Murderball is for disabled men and has been made into a documentary. It was published in 2005, and shows the major game between USA and Canada.
Murderball or Wheelchair Rugby is an intense game that takes place on a basketball court and uses a smaller ball than a basketball. Murderball also has some aspects of hockey because of the penalties. Each team usually has twelve players but has four players on the court at a time. Each player is required to use a special wheelchair that is built to be easily turned and flipped. This game is very aggressive and has players that are quadrpeligic. This sport is only for disabled people but you can watch as a spectator.
This sport is unique, fun, exciting and entertaining! If you ever get a chance to watch this movie I hear it is great and I plan on watching it tomorrow night! It's really a mix between basketball rules, the intensity and roughness of ice hockey, and using the size of a regulation size volleyball.

I actually watched a movie on this is a class this semester. These guys get physical and bring it to their fullest potential. I wouldn't even mind trying out a sport like that, It seems to be a lot of fun. Those guys got the competitive spirit in them and I think that is what makes the sport so interesting.
