When Human Heads Were Footballs: Surprising Stories of How Sports Began

Book Description
Centuries ago, the English chopped off the head of an invading Viking and decided to kick the thing around just for fun. A new sport had begun! Early basketball games, as played by the Aztecs, allowed hair pulling, kicking, and punching. Wulffson tells these and other tales in this intriguing book of wacky stories and little known facts.
