Good as usual.

the decline of this once great nation can be directly correlated to the childish obsession of grown men with ball games.

Nope.

Throughout the history of mankind, men have used sports as a part of teaching their boys to become men.

Until the 1960's, most young men wanted to join the military to fight our enemies.
Now many 18 year old boys cry . . . and want a safe space , ( whatever the Hell that is) . . . if they
hear any words that "hurt their feelings".

The pussification of a once great nation continues.

Please tell me what ball games grown men in the west were obsessed with throughout time?
I'm especially interested in the 19th century and the previous centuries.

It's actually simple research 4:15.
(and not only in Western Europe).

But to answer your question, Start with the Greeks . . .
especially the City State of Sparta.
But the same thing was happening with pre Columbian civilizations
in North America.

The Aztecs, Mayans and Incas were not much different.
Hell . . . even the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations
had ball games that were played to the death.

Testosterone was a thing back then.

"then what are female athletes learning?"

I promised myself that I wouldn't mention Soviet steroids within little girl gymnastics.

"Playing" and "obsessing" are not the same thing. None of the beer bellied couch potatoes that obsess over sportsball play any sports. You are atrempting to compare apples to oranges.

And if you have to tell someone to "go research my argument" then you have none.
