In Britain there's a social and class divide. That is why some sports are not as popular as football/ the people's game.

You may be interested to know that the first ever international cricket match was not between England and another country, but between the USA and Canada.

The football event you were thinking of was the 2022 UEFA Champions League final. It was due to be held in St. Petersburg but was stripped of the event after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and so it was moved to Paris instead.

The story of Hitler snubbing Jesse Owens is an urban myth. The story goes that Hitler was due to present the medal but refused to do so when he knew that it was a "Black athlete". Hitler was never down to present the medal and was not even in the stadium when the time came to present the medals.

The only world leader who snubbed Jessie Owens was his own - FDR. Jessie wasn’t invited to the White House on his return and at a major reception for returning athletes at the Waldorf Hotel, Jessie couldn’t use the main entrance because of his colour and had to use the trade entrance and the freight elevator.

Finally, somebody puts this lie to rest.

As a sports archivist there is one story that has been left out from the 1936 Olympics. That was of the British Indian Hockey (Field) team which played against the German team in the final. The British Indian team won the game. One of the British Indian team was Dhyan Chand. He is still considered to this day as one of the finest Field Hockey players ever. After the match Hitler offered him a position in his army with the rank of Major. As he was already a serving member of the British Indian Army he declined.

The main difference with the crowd sizes today is All-Seater Stadiums. In olden times everybody was standing (so more people fitted in). Hampden Park (Glasgow) hosted a match between Scotland & England in 1937 that had an attendance of 149,000. Hampden also holds the record attendance for a European cup game (1969 Celtic vs Leeds Utd at 136.000) & European Cup Final (1960 Real madrid vs Frankfurt at 127,000) Bonus Fun Fact :- Between 1928 and 1973, 37 Scottish Cup finals recorded attendances of over 100,000. A further 5 were 90,000+. In those 44 years, the average attendance was 109,324

Notice the paper vendor's advertising slogan? Best Soccer Pool Firm. Proving that the word soccer in those days was in common use in England.

in the beginning, most sports were amateur there was a great divide between amateurs and professionals I used to do a form of ballroom dancing and the leader explained to us how to stay amateur or we would not be able to compete if we were considered professional

It's wonderful that films like this exist from the point of view of social history, otherwise one would have to imagine these games from reading about them in history books. This of course would be impossible to do as one could not get the sense of what these games were like, or get any sense of the atmosphere.

Listening to the background music when they played cricket reminds me of Dad´s army

It is their theme song like Liverpool´s "you´ll never walk alone".

If you are going to watch a cricket match I suggest you start with either 20/20 or the Hundred. Just because it is shorter and quicker scoring. I think you would find a full one day 50 or 40 over match or a full 5 day test a bit long and boring until you start to understand the game. 20/20 is 20 overs (120 balls) a side and lasts just over an hour a side. The Hundred is 100 balls and lasts about the same amount of time. Just for comparison, a full one day 50 or 40 over each side match is around 6 hours and a 5 day test match is 5x 6 hour days of 90 overs split into 3 two hour sessions each day.

Thanks SoGal ... loved seeing the old b/w TV clips, any answers, that I know, to your questions have probably been answered ... great video Sarah

"What happens in cricket if the ball hits the batsman?" Nothing in particular as such, but it can be pretty dangerous. Sometimes, batsmen have been very badly hurt. Nowadays, protective head gear is worn, and concussion checks are carried out. In fact, the only circumstance under which a team can fully replace a player during a match (be it a short game or a 5 day game) is if a batsman gets a knock to the head and the umpire is not happy that they continue. Break an arm? You carry on playing (I can remember this happening, years ago). Apart from a blow to the head, a sub player cannot bat or bowl. If the ball moves away from the batsman after they've been hit by it (usually, a glancing blow), they may run to get a score. But if they don't run, nothing scored. These runs / scores are called "leg byes" for some reason!

Nice reaction SoGal! Just done watching so now copyright trouble or not cannot change that ☺️

Babe Ruth is the only baseball player I've ever heard of ! ...... so he's very famous !

Hi SoGal OK for World Cup wins here's the breakdown of most wins and the years they won it.

If you want to see extreme Sports Fever ... then you have to cover Motorsports` and not just F1 Racing. Most sports fans have a nice cosy stadium to watch their sports in, but imagine standing around and even camping out in extreme weather just to see a car or bike flash by every once in a while.

The difference between a fast bowler and a slow bowler is the run up hence the fast bowler takes a longer run to put speed on the ball and the slow bowler may use spin on the ball to fool the batsman.

cricket, the 'bodyline' tactics used by england at that time has meant no english team has been treated 'kindly' by an aussie team since every time an australian team plays england its like ww3 our fast bowlers want to hurt their players and never hold back they changed the game forever

Nice Video. 😃👍.

I love and I've been watching the Olympics since 1972 when they were held in Munich, I also have an interest in late Victorian & Edwardian Sports, the interesting thing about it (for me anyway) is only three countries competed in the 1908 Tug of War Great Britain who entered 3 teams USA & Sweden. The GB teams were made up of the City of London Police who won the Gold, Liverpool Police who won the Silver and the Metropolitan Police K Division who won the Bronze, The American complaint came after they had been defeated by the Liverpool Police force, it was when they appeal was thrown out that the US team threw their toys out of the pram and withdrew from the competition. Unfortunately for our cousins across the pond, the rules of Tug of War allowed competitors to wear footwear used for their occupation, GB team wouldn't necessarily have worn spikes but would have worn hob-nailed boots. Giving them a distinct advantage.

Thanks! I stand corrected.

The Bodyline series between England and Australia of 1932-33, which England won 4-1, was indeed very controversial as a number of Australian batsmen were hurt by England fast bowlers, the worst injury being Bert Oldfield’s fractured skull. It escalated into a diplomatic incident involving the Australian prime minister and British Secretary of State. The laws of cricket were subsequently changed to prevent this reoccurring.

​@@SoGal_YT Someone who's better informed about the Laws of Cricket at the time might correct me, but I BELIEVE that, as aiming at the batsman wasn't against the Laws at that time, if he was unable to continue, he would be entered in the scorebook as Retired through Injury and be replaced by the next batsman in the batting order. No substitutes were allowed at that time. People have been killed as a result of being hit in the head by a cricket ball. When researching my family history, I discovered that my great-grandmother had been hit in the head by a ball while watching a match and suffered a head injury so extensive that she spent the rest of her life in a mental asylum. This is why, despite the Laws having been changed, modern batsman wear a head guard.

@markwilliamson2864

@@SoGal_YT It’s entirely correct and within the laws of the game for the bowler to aim for the batsman’s head (although not continually), the bowler will do this to induce a false shot from the batsman and get a catch. If the batsman is hit the bowler will say that he should use his bat properly to defend himself. The current protocol when a batsman is hit on the head is for an on field concussion test followed by a helmet replacement.

The umpires can stop you bowling. Currently you can only bowl one bouncer per over. You may see in the 70s and 80 the West Indies team took it to another level. That's why the current rules are in place.

32:50 Many (but not all) football teams in the UK have their own specially created or adopted theme song, which the team and the team's fans sing. West Ham United Football Club adopted an American song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", written in 1918, which is actually a very cheerful song. That West Ham fan just did a poor rendition of it, because he's clearly not the best singer. Liverpool Football Club adopted the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" from the 1945 American Theatre Play "Carousel". Leeds United Football Club created their own song "Marching On Together" in 1972. And so on. The singing of a team's theme song usually happens when the fans make their way towards and enter the football stadium. While in the stadium before the game starts. During half time. During the game in-play. After the game is finished. And as the fans make their way back home from the stadium. The songs are sung as part of tradition, to celebrate and encourage the team and to celebrate the united camaraderie and support among the team's fans, and also as a form of cheerleading to enhance the atmosphere, encourage and boost spirits. Seeing as British sports and sports teams don't have official cheerleaders like American sports and sports teams do.

All the Americans wore normal day shoes whereas the British team, which consisted all of Policeman, wore their normal day shoes.

I'm not a sports addict, so don't feel confident about answering your queries about that. Couple of points though, that accent you couldn't understand was Liverpool. Commonly called Scouse. It can be quite strong! Blimps, a brief recap. The French invented balloons in the 18th c. But they just floated about, at the mercy of the wind. So in the 19th c. they elongated them, and fitted them with propellers and rudders to control them. They were quite common around the first world war era. With the Germans gaining precedence in the field. The airships, as they were called were prone to accidents, and their popularity declined as aeroplanes became more reliable. However in the 1930s there were some concerted efforts to make use of them.Britain built two to link the empire, the R100 and the R101. When the latter crashed with the loss of about 30 lives, Britain gave up on them. Germany had the Graf Zeppelin and the Hindenburg. Again the loss of H. Over New York saw Germany abandon future work on them. I think blimp is a US term. Over here we tend to save that word for the ones that don't have a rigid frame.

The most world cups that have been won are by Brazil, then Germany, Italy then Argentina

30:08 - 30:50. That guy's accent is Scouse. People born and living in the seaport city of Liverpool in North West England are known as Scousers and have the completely unique to Liverpool Scouse accent. The name scouse comes from the city's long-standing most popular food dish also called Scouse. A stew heavily adapted from the original Lobscouse stew, a mostly Scandinavian dish popular among northern European sailors. At the height of the British Empire during the 1800s, Liverpool was the busiest seaport in the world, and the city was packed full of mostly northern European sailors coming and going. It was these sailors who introduced and made their much-liked lobscouse stew popular in Liverpool. Ultimately resulting in Liverpool creating its own adapted version simply called Scouse. Scouse is still popularly eaten and enjoyed in the city today. Before the 1800s Liverpool had a Lancashire accent. But as the city became the busiest seaport in the world. It became a melting pot of several European foreign languages and British and Irish accents. Mostly Scandinavian languages from the various sailors in the city and mostly Irish and Welsh accents from Irish and Welsh migration into the city. Although there was also a fair degree of migration into the city from other parts of England and Scotland as well. Over time this mix of languages and accents all blended together and evolved into the entirely unique Scouse accent of Liverpool. Such that by the beginning of the 1900s, the Scouse accent was dominant in the city, while its original Lancashire accent had virtually gone extinct.

What happens in cricket when you hit someone? Nothing. It is perfectly legal to aim at and hit the batter in an attempt to put them off thier game although it is deemed unsporting to do it all the time. There are rules now that limit how many balls can be bowled in this manner. Less than a decade ago Australian batsman Phillip Hughes was struck in the head (even while wearing a helmet) and susequently died. As to the bowler's run up. The faster the bowler the longer the run up as a rule of thumb. Spin bowlers often only take a few steps.

As this was termed "Evolution of Sports in the 20th Century" I feel it was slightly misleading. I was hoping it would start a bit further back than it did. I do realise that as a Sports archivist I have a greater understanding on how modern sports started but was hoping for a bit more breadth of the history of sports.

True. The first football league started in England 1888. Others followed on. Also most of them were semi-final pro. Many British sports did not go full time professional until the last 20-30 years. Also many individuals were either rich or in the military so they had the time and money to play sport.

Actually, ancient Greece + Rome had (very different) professional.sports.

No Europeans have won far more world cups than south Americans and across more different winners. South American have 3 different winners and Uruguay only really won when the best sides didnt even bother going. But europe has england, spain, germany, france, italy, and many other nations that have had multiple finals but never won it, Netherlands, sweden, Czech Republic, and most European sides have won it many times. So Europe is definitely ahead in both club football and international football

As a soccer fan it's actually kind of weird how little America's sports compete with other nations in a sense. Like, missing that aspect in your main sports is a bit weird. I think ice hockey has that the most out of all of them but for many it's basically the olympics which in soccer means didly squat.

After the First World War the FA (Football Association) in the UK banned women from playing competitive football. Only recently has this been lifted and the introduction of Women's Football. In the USA football (or soccer as you may know it) is predominantly a women's sport. Women and families were discouraged from going to watch the matches during the late 60's and 70's. This was due to the rise of Hooliganism. Sometimes mass fights would erupt eithe r during or after matches between sides supporters. You could get badly beaten up for wearing the wrong colours!

Nazi Germany wasn't at war when they held the olympics, unlike Russia and Ukraine now. It would definately happen in modern times purely because of money, Russia held the winter olympics and Qatar just held the world cup, not comparable to Nazi Germany given the hindsight of what they went on to do, but both were still very controversial

only men had time off to view sports the wives had to look after the children and look after the home and get dinner

All modern sports originated in Llanbelwyn Wales. Football, Cricket, Baseball, everything.

The main problem with the US government spending is that the whole structure's corrupt from top to bottom. The result is that a disproportionately large amount of money get spent relative to the results. And then they left moans on about how there's not enough money and the right insists it's all because too much is being spent on the few parts of the system that actually work properly... speculation on the share market is absolutely still a thing. Did you happen to see the sillyness regarding gamestop shares? That was over shortselling (where you borrow the Shares, agreeing to return them at X point with a certain amount of money, then Sell the shares, then when the price goes down, you buy them back for less, then return the shares and the promised money and pocketing the difference. When the same shares are short sold several times without being paid back, and other factors start driving the share price UP... fun things happen...).
