Silly little game

The 16th man (51 min.): During the apartheid era, South African teams had been banned from international competition, and its exclusion from rugby was an especially severe blow to the white population. Blacks, on the other hand, saw the national Springbok team & its colors as symbols of oppression and cheered against their home team. With the 1995 Rugby World Cup set to take place in South Africa, Mandela recognized an opportunity with the Springboks to achieve national unity through sport.

  • "In 1980, a group of writers, academics, and baseball fans met in New York City and created a new game: Rotisserie Baseball. The idea was simple: create an imaginary baseball team with real baseball players and follow the statistics. The game quickly grew in popularity, eventually exploding into a multi-billion dollar industry and revolutionizing the way fans watch and participate in sports. The founding fathers never foresaw how their creation would take off and ultimately leave them behind."@en
