Meanwhile in Europe in the middle age,
the Europeans are in a dark age where
the power is on the kings, some feudal
knights and the majority of the people
are ignorant and poor. In this age the
sports disappear and only exist tournaments between knights. The tournaments had three big competition, archery, duels with sword and the biggest
competition the jousting. The jousting
are duels one of one where the knights
with a wooden spear tried to throw down
the other knight. The punctuation is, 1
to hit the opponent, 2 points to throw
down the helmet of the opponent and 3
points to throw down of the horse. The
knight´s armor and shield. In this tournaments was common the knights dead for
the wounds in the different competitions.
Some centuries after in England in the
nineteenth century was created the football when in the Cambridge college were
separated the Rugby of football, because
in Cambridge the players didn’t want
touch the ball with the hands and made
the sport less violent. With the Cambridge
code and those fourteen rules was created the 26 of October of 1863 the football.
Meanwhile in the blackheath club didn’t
accept this rules and was one of the creators of Rugby. In America Emerged in Eng-
land in 1744 the first printed evidence of
baseball which was published in a book
of children games, between that year and
1769 there are a lot of references about
baseball. The game emigrated from Europe to America in the mid to late eighteenth century led by English who came
to the new world. The first reference
to baseball being played in the United
States dated from April 1778 recorded
in the diary of the soldier George Ewing.
The importance of knowing the past to
understand the future is critical to understand the evolution of human behaviors, it is necessary to learn the history of
sports and how it linked the cultures,
health, competitiveness and uses of
human skills to improve the lives of all
of us. This is a way to create awareness
about the sport and more people pay
attention every day to take their health
seriously. I personally believe the importance to learn about the cultures like the
Aztecs, the medieval and the modern
european are one more step in the magnific knowledge of the human history.
