Three-Sided Football
category: Football, Ball Sports
Danish artist Asger Jorn invented the sport of three-sided football, a variation of the sport of soccer, though with three teams instead of the usual two. Jorn used the game to explain his notion of triolectics, his refinement on the Marxian concept of dialectics, as well as to just confuse us all with big words and unusual concepts. The game is played on a hexagonal pitch. The winning team is not the one who scores the most goals, but the team which concedes the least number of goals. The first known game was organized by the London Psychogeographical Association at the Glasgow Anarchist Summer School in 1993, and a few other games have been played since.
