    The big sporting event they played was something like basketball, but the “hoop” was vertical rather than horizontal. I don’t think they could use their hands, so imagine trying to play basketball without using your hands like soccer, and with a heavy ball. I hear the stakes were very high for the winner and loser, involving sacrifice like most mesoamerican rituals during that period.
