Sumo rasslin' and hacky sack.
Seems like all the really popular sports were started by westerners.
Others? Serious question since I really don't know how most sports got their start.

That Afghan one where they ride horses and throw a goat around. I think Rambo played once.

Ullamaliztli, the famous Aztec ball game, was played on a tlachtli ball court (the game is sometimes referred to as Tlachtli). The ball court was one of the first things built when the Aztecs settled a new area, making it the most important of the ancient Aztec games. It was a very difficult game played with a large rubber ball (the name of the game comes from the word ulli, or rubber). The game was not just important for entertainment, but also politics and religion.

We can't say for sure where soccer was invented. Depends on what you consider the gayest place on earth
