This Mexican Statue below is 1500 years old, it was made in a time when Mexican Indians had a social life. The statue represents their sports that the society had before Cortez   rampage and destroy the Mexican Indians society.

The sports was play with a number of players, how many? is unknown. The team that won was cheer by their people and warship, and the loosing team was killed,  this was a sports that be a winner didn't last long.

The winners were heroes to the people like today's society is, in utilizing sports athletes figures like Michael Jordan, Shack O'neal etc.. This two athletes go on and earn million and are seen as role models, that was  how the Mexican Indians were seen as.

The looser were executed in front of the crowed that came and cheer them on. I bet not that many games were held.
