The Greatest!

[Unkotare]

What, in your opinion, is the greatest sport in the world, past or present?




I'll start: Wrestling

I knew it.

Knew what?

The Gladiator events in the Colisseum, however unethical they may have been

Why those?

Battles to the death, exotic wild animals vs. Gladiators and prisoners and each other; what a spectacle that must have been.

I was just reading about this the other day, it was like the wild west more hype then it really was.....


From Gladiator Duels To Caesar's Last Words: The Myths Of Ancient Rome


Gladiators are an expensive commodity, and they don't get killed very often. And nobody, apart from the emperor, can afford to bring lions to fight Christians. So I think an awful lot of the gladiatorial shows that you would have seen in the Roman world would have been more likely to be fighting wild boar from the local hills, and the gladiators would not have been fighting, usually, to the death

Does that really constitute a sport?

Anything can be a sport. People turned hitting a ball with a stick into a sport. Tossing a ball in a bucket became a sport. Punching each other in the face until you can't stand up became a sport.

I believe the popularity of pornography would dispute that wives tale.
