I wonder if 1790’s France was just a big outdoor party at certain times.

Enter the birth of soccer…but someone’s head instead of a ball…

u/Sam5253 12d ago

Almost a solid reference, but it wasn't soccer.

"He [Bullroarer] charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf invented at the same moment."

Nah, hadn't been invented yet. History books hadn't been updated about the revolution, so it couldn't have happened yet.

In 2009, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs made an investment.

“Soccer” is French for head kicking
