That just has to be painful. Being tackled and sliding on the grass with 200 pounds on top of you, running hard barefoot with the very good chance of catching or stubbing a toe on the rough turf, being part of a pile of bodies, everyone wriggling around for position and no protection at all for your vitals. That really sounds like a game for masochists, to me.

It would be fun to watch, though.

The ancient Olympics did not have the mass numbers of events and the events were more track & field and wrestling.
