Did china throw heads at each other playing dodgeball?

Answer 1

No. That was just a fanciful joke invented for the 2004 movie "Dodgeball: A true underdog story." The fact that many believed this was a historically accurate portrayal is fairly disconcerting. I've found no scholarly sources to back up the Chinese inventing dodgeball, let alone using human heads to play it.

I mean, think about it: Why on earth would they throw human heads at each other? Who would engage in a sport involving picking up a decapitated head, throwing it, then having one thrown at you? Where did all the heads come from? I think the people that fall for jokes from Ben Stiller movies are the ones losing their heads.

ACTUALLY; concerning the above answer. Some ancient tribes and cultures used to use people's severed heads to play variants of football, polo and many other such games. This was done a lot of the time with the direct intent of humiliating the head's owner (now dead) and his or her family. Such as a recently over turned king, bandit leader etc. So falling for the idea in Dodgeball the movie is not so stupid as you seem to want to make out and put people down for.
