Did these civilizations ever use human sacrifice to promote, enable or honor a particular sporting event?

The Mayan's would sacrifice the losers of their sporting events to the gods.

Only in sudden death overtime.

They did, and were especially vicious when they ran low on sympathy. If their women couldn't take it up to the gills without a hiccup they killed them, too.

This thread needed a visual and you provided a dandy. IIRC they would cut the heads off of gelded men right before they died and disposed of retarded children in the same way.

I'm guessing you'd be ready to have someone cut your head off after walking up all those steps.

Yup. Tribute to the gods etc.
Of course no one really knows. It's all speculation.

Ill bet some of the competitors could've taught the 1919 White Sox a thing or 2 about throwing a series.
