The Sport of Sheiks

Camel racing, known as “The Sport of Sheiks” has a long history in Qatar, dating back thousands of years. It was traditionally done with the use of small children, typically boys around the age of four, as riders and guides for the camels. These children were often subject to starvation to keep their weight low. Many of these child racers were sold to race organizers or camel owners. However, in 2005 Qatar developed a robot jockey to replace the use of child racers in camel racing.

college football game between Georgia Tech and Cumberland University

In the early 1900s, a college football game between Georgia Tech and Cumberland University ended with a final score of 222-0 in favor of Georgia Tech. Cumberland had only recently formed a football team and was severely outmatched by Georgia Tech, which was one of the top football programs in the country at the time. This remains the most lopsided victory in college football history.
