The incessant commercialization is a limiting factor as well. Getting rid of uniform logos and going back to the days where all the competitors were naked and covered in oil would certainly boost interest.
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoIt sounds like they had uniforms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Ballgame https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Ballgame > The usual dress for players is known from iconographic and figural findings. These show leather protection mainly at the hips and the chest, but sometimes also at the knees and the arms, though very seldom at the feet. The clothing was used to protect against the impact of the ball. The protected parts of the body were used to strike the ball. Some players would wear head dresses (like deer heads) for ritual reasons.
- Wowfunhappy 4y ago...oh, but looking at some visual depictions, it looks like those uniforms didn't cover a whole lot! (Sorry, I was past the edit window.)
- Ekaros 4y agoI have been thinking that having the competitors being naked would solve lot of issues related to equipment and equality. Specially in sports like field, swimming and why not in football either.
