The highest paid MLB player in the early 50s only made $100k/year and most of the dudes playing usually worked regular jobs during the off season.
Makes you think.

Also:
>Mass or mob football was popular in medieval and early modern Europe. It involved an unlimited number of players and very few rules; the game often caused damage to people and property and was seen as a distraction from more desirable work which led to many attempts at banning the game in Britain and France.

Chariot Racing was popular enough in Constantinople to be the cause of a fair few revolts/major riots. The Nika riots torched much of the city and directly threatened the continued rule of Justinian the Great.
The competing teams even turned into political semi-parties who favoured certain political groups and ideas. As such supporting a team was also a blatant political statement.
How 'bout posting something relevant instead?
