Necessary, no! Entertaining, certainly!
We’ve seen more rabonas in the last twelve months than we have in many years and it doesn’t seem like they’re going to go anywhere in 2015.
Even American football’s kickers are becoming partial to the flashy kick.
Just about a month ago, Miami Dolphins’ Caleb Sturgis attempted one and, just last night, the rabona made an appearance at the Alamo Bowl.
Kansas State kicker Matthew McCrane kept the game alive by initially appearing to send a kick to the left, before wrapping his right leg around his left and sending it to the right with an onside kick.
While the fanciness mattered not a jot in the overall scheme of the game as UCLA held out for the 40-35 victory, we encourage more rabonas in all sports.
