Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 10, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 10, 2019 1/21 Slides The deadliest sports still practised today Former Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner once said, “Sports is like a war without the killing.” And while that might be true of baseball (with the exception of Cleveland Indians shortstop Ray Chapman, who died after being hit in the head by a pitch in 1920), it’s certainly not true of all sports, be it as a result of direct or indirect fatalities.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 10, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted May 10, 2019 The second slide is the sport Jai Alai, I must admit I have never heard of this sport before but reading up on it, it says it is most popular in Latin American countries and the Philippines, has anyone on here ever played this sport or even heard of it? it looks a bit like squash to me.
