Pretty sure that if you lost, you got sacrificed to the gods. Good incentive to really push the players for a good game. These days pro team games is just watching a bunch of millionaires refusing to sweat

The usual claim is that the winners were sacrificed, although I think it's a myth

I watched The Road to El Dorado... It's definitely the losers.

My bad. I heard it from a Mayan guy at Chichen Itza. I'll tell him to watch the film next time I see him
