Humans created football to replace war
Serves many of the basic instincts a happy hunter-gatherer has. Maybe it reduces large conflicts with smaller ones. Not sure, but a great idea nevertheless. (not American football, with all that armoury and ego)
Tribalism, not always a bad thing, but gets blamed for much of today’s problems. I mean starting wars should be as easy as it used to be, otherwise the bad guy is allowed to win.
Could be the cause of more wars, lets see.
That’s why America invented the game of Gridlock. Crap at footy.
