Watch Wild in the Streets

Everything has to start somewhere and that includes some of the most popular sports in the world. The games of soccer and American football have their origins in a game that dates back to ancient times and that game was a little different than the ones that we see now. These days, several small English towns owe their livelihood to soccer and they also still celebrate the ancient game that got it all started. It can be fascinating to follow the development of sports in human culture, especially when one ancient game has the ability to spawn two of the most popular team sports in the modern world.
