What's silly about with a character with an ability in Sartarite Shinty?

In one game (set in the modern era) I had a character who was a retired American Football player, who used to be an offensive Left Tackle. This gave him good skills in things like Knockdown and reading enemy intentions, and a very strong Relationship with his former quarterback.

Playing rough sports seems to have been a strong part of celtic warrior culture. Has anyone explored the Orlanthi equivalents?
