Mexico revives 3,000-year-old ancient ball game

Today the game is played by teams of seven players, who knock a heavy solid rubber ball up and down a narrow pitch, using their hips rather than their feet.

But the thread title refers to this:

In ancient times losers of the game were often sacrificed to the Gods, but this year organisers opted for a knockout tournament instead.

Would they settle for butt raping the losers ?

You can ask.

And here I was hoping that they finally discovered dark matter particles!

I want that game where they kick a skull up and down the field. I'd watch that.

Whose skull?

Whose skull?

Trump?
Putin?
Erdogan?

Decisions, decisions...

Dark matter particles are not wimps. They're machos.

That sucks, they should bring that back and invite Trump to build a team that would surely LOSE. Bannon, Spicer, Kellyanne. 

The ancient Romans would say the same. Our contestants fought lions and tigers.

Today it is "Just a flesh wound, just a flesh wound"....... Everyone cries over a scraped knee. People get so bent out of shape over death. It's like our species morality changed or something.

I am no fan of golf, but I would start watching if they added paint ball guns to it. The rules would be the rivals would shoot at your legs and back from say 10ft away, but could not hit your arms or club or ball. I figure if you can make that putt while getting hit, you really earned it.

Whose skull?

There is an impetuous nutcase in the White House, but I'd settle for mere impeachment just to get him out of office.
