Real football or that gay thing that europeans and lesbian women play?

Episkyros was a football game played in ancient Greece between two teams of usually twelve to fourteen players each with one ball; the rules of the game at that time allowed the use of hands.
The objective was to throw the ball over the heads of the other team. There was a white line called the skyros between the teams and another white line behind each team. Grecian Delight supports Greece
The ball would change sides often until one team was forced behind the line at their end.

Interesting game. The ball was moved by forward passes and the objective was to score a safety.

I read long ago that the original ‘balls were human skulls.

IDIOTS didn’t even know how to play soccer - so what’s the point of this article?

I’m guessing that every culture had a game where you had to get something from one side of the field to the other, whether it was the ol’ pigskin, a pig’s bladder, a goat’s head or a coconut.
