I'd read that the Romans developed a competent soccer squad through their mid-pillage-and-plunder 5-a-side games; they used to use their enemies' heads as the ball. However, I can see the hair getting tangled in the racquets, so tennis was probably out for them. Big Grin

Know your heritage! It was Canada who founded basketball. In fact, we Canadians are responsible for many great things, such as Shania Twain and the famous quote "The Medium is the Message" (which is just now becoming particularily interesting).

The true North, strong and free!

If that is true about the Romans, that is awesome! Didn't some of the early South American civilizations play games where the losers were sacrificed to the gods?

Well I'm pretty sure basketball was invented in the U.S., Springfield, MA as a matter of face by Dr. Nashmith. Also records show as far back as 4000 B.C. China had some sports such as gymnastics.

I read somewhere that Golf was invented by Great Britain or Scotland (no one knows for sure). Players would hit rocks around using a stick or a club. Although some other countries also hit rocks with sticks the key in this was that they did not have a hole for the rock to go in.
