Elephant Polo: The Inside Story
A Playboy Editor Reports on the Beautiful Game
When Research Editor Bryan Abrams told us he was going to Nepal to play in the Elephant Polo World Championships, we figured it was a euphemism. For what—Asian sex tour for chubby chasers, all-day acid trip in Central Park—we didn’t care to know. Turns out he was actually going to Nepal to play in the Elephant Polo World Championships. His team, the New York Blue, all but one member of which had never mounted a pachyderm before, won the silver medal, losing in sudden-death overtime to the local Tiger Tops squad. Abrams and company had defeated a British military regiment and the formidable Indian Tigers (no relation) along the way, with one member suffering a serious concussion and another a torn MCL.
