Season 3 Episode 18 Ancient Sports Cults

This one has it all..... Most deaths, most blood, and least love. We talk about ancient sports and how culty they were.

The Good:

  • First rubber balls
  • Settling disputes through games
  • Way to make money and very entertaining
  • Horses
  • Smart spouse
  • You Ladies of The Night can become the emperors wife

The Bad:

  • Loosing a game should never be quite that harsh (death)
  • Lack of logic
  • Know what team is the best to be on
  • 30K people killed because they were on the green team

The Culty (is there anything in this cult worth incorporating into our own?):

  • The Nice Cult lets listeners vote on who should be sacrificed (Gunnar or Gwen)
