2. Women Being Arrested For Showing Off Their Legs (1922)
Careful - this one may be NSFW due to the brazen display of bare appendages on show. Though we sadly still live in a society where violence is more accepted than sexuality and nudity, it used to be a hell of a lot worse for women. Wearing a dangerously provocative one-piece bathing suits without the required leg coverings? Get in the van.
1. Auto Polo (1910s)
Prepare yourselves. We've reached the epitome of bat-shit insane sports; proving there was some absolute lunatics around over 100 years ago. Basically it was equestrian polo, with rickety cars bordering on precarious death-engines instead of horses. Seriously, look at that photo. Men would be hurled through the air, often into the direction of a GIANT MALLET before they hit the ground; and they bloody loved it. It was, obviously, banned due to it's categorically dangerous nature, and blatant disregard for human life. Hey, at least we still have the World Cup. Yawn.
