This video by Chat History @ChatHistory explores some of the most violent athletic competitions throughout history, beginning with ancient Mesoamerican ballgames like Ōllamaliztli, where high-stakes matches played with heavy rubber balls frequently concluded with human ritual sacrifice. The video then highlights Calcio Fiorentino, a brutal 16th-century Italian tradition combining football, rugby, and full-contact martial arts brawling. It also covers Ancient Greek Pankration, an Olympic combat sport with almost no rules, leading to frequent severe injuries and fatalities. Finally, it details Venice's Guerra dei Pugni, a chaotic bridge-fighting event where rival city factions fought in massive free-for-alls to throw their opponents into the canals below. Mr. Terry shares what he knows!
