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.
