Today I discovered the bizarre sport of pigeon-snaring, practiced by the elite of the Tonga "empire".
Basically, players would go into a cabin carrying a net tied to a long rod twelve feet long. Meanwhile, trained pigeons would be used to lure wild pigeons. The cabin had a perpendicular slit cutting it in half so you could move the rod around, and the goal of the sport was to catch as many wild pigeons as possible with the net.
How could this game be more popular than other Pacific sports like surfing or bungee juping?
