"Buzkashi" is similar to a game Mongolian troops used to play long ago when conquering a village/town/etc. But instead of a goat a child or human was used until they were dead, then another was put in it's place. It spread from china and Mongolia and it was then turned into a sport with a goat in Afghanistan, and in Persia they had a similar form of the game with something similar to a puck instead of any living creature, which is where polo got it's origins from.

I heard this from a historian who is also a friend of the family who knows a lot about the subject, I haven't been able to find anything to dissuade this argument or prove though.
