>>75287453

shame they don't play the game like before, with the head of the captain from the defeated team.

I love this. I hope the interest for this game keeps going

>>75287453

>he rates T'zlotltuochican

>>75288141
Actually, this is the version I've heard. People considered it to be a high honour to be sacrificed as the best quality oblation.

This would also solve, once and for all time, the problem of /xywinslol/ and overpaid athletes.

>>75298229
Why is animee always pedo-loli shit and never like this pic. I would maybe even consider watching then.

Tfw your country was once in the top 10 nations for decapitateball but now everyone plays cancerhoop instead

Still have some good sunday leagues going on in the mountains though.

And remember, back then it was nothing but Mexico all the way to the Great Lakes. Suicide was the only release, and they were hellbound unbaptised heathens regardless.

this sport was in some disney-esque cartoon movie around the turn of the century, right?

This is a cool idea but the game itself looks kind of retarded
