Men punched and hit each other in Warwickshire, England on Tuesday at an annual tradition of the #Atherstone ball game, which dates back to medieval times. Stores boarded up in anticipation of the game.

Brutal end to Atherstone Ball Game 2023. The last half an hour of the Pancake Day tradition saw punches thrown & a betting shop damaged as teams battled to gain control of an oversized ball.

The winning team managed to secrete the ball in the doorway of @WilliamHill to take the win. The rules are that you are not allowed to kill anyone & whoever holds the ball when time is up is declared the winner. #pancakeday

Another view of the lads dropping in Twitter

Obviously it's not new. They go crazy, pretty sure that I saw a special on Netflix about this a while back.
They (the Brits) also do a crazy cheese rolling race that always leaves people battered and broken.

Looks like a Wednesday at sonic.

This seems like a perfectly sane, rational way, to spend a Tuesday.
Posted on 2/21/23 at 7:38 pm to Bobby OG Johnson
And not one shot fired

Clearly you've never partaken in any violent ancient traditions. Shits fun.
