RG, hate to say it man, but the American Indians played a game very simaler to soccer. The Chickasaw and Choctaw played it here in Mississippi long before anyother ball gane was brought to this state

" In North America there is very little evidence for pure football (or kick ball). In Stewart Culin's detailed book "Games of the North American Indians" he states that football is mentioned as occurring among four Algonquian tribes: the Massachuset, the Micmac, Narraganset and the Powhatan and there is some reason to believe that kick-ball was known among other tribes.

The natives used a very small ball of buckskin, or sometimes of stone about 3 or 4 inches across, while goals were two sticks erected at the ends of the course, or simple lines on the ground. In most cases the rules allowed the ball to be both kicked and thrown, or hit with a flail or other object "

Not saying they didn't play kickball or sumpin but in anyone on this boards lifetime basesall has been more predominate has it not???
In north ms where Canebreaker is and was talking about there may and I mean may have been 4 soccer fields in Desoto county. Baseball fields well over a hundred and they were maintained where soccer fields weren't.

Too bro, the Choctaws been playing stick ball just as long as they been kicking a ball and even they have chosen the stick over kicking it as they play today.

Don't know about radios on a deer stand, but my old cell phone had different songs set as ring tones for different people. I was bow hunting one afternoon and had three deer almost in archery range and moving toward me. About that time, my son called me. They stopped, looked around for a second, twitched their tails and continued on toward me. Turns out they must of liked Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Sitting in a box stand on the side of a 400 yard field there is little chance of them hearing a radio even if the winders were open, why not. 99% of the action here is at last light anyways and windows are open and glassing by then most of the time.

drag racing ain't a sport. the only true American sport is professional wrestling. Of course, I don't watch women or midget wrestling because they are both fake. Football, baseball, basketball and hockey are all fixed too.
