I Played The World's Most VIOLENT Sport

[@EdChapman23]

By far one of the craziest sporting events you'll ever see, would you fancy getting involved in that? Should it be BANNED?

[@Vertical-sandwiches]

I would rather eat my own foot, unseasoned and raw.

[@jasondomican1991]

Sounds ridiculously pointless, just an excuse for angry people to get violent 🤷

[@chibifirestorm]

@@jasondomican1991 at least they are taking it out on other neanderthals and not normal people.

[@NZKiwi87]

Testosterone gone mad. And betcha they wanna use the public health system when they hurt themselves.

[@sarahh1775]

Yes , yes and yes

[@xos]

Can't believe you managed to so easily hold onto the ball for the whole two hours, Ed! Well done!

[@EdChapman23]

Thank you, was really easy in the end!

[@Can_you_handl-this]

​@@EdChapman23😂😂😂😂

[@codcing694]

At this point i just open Ed's videos and like them, cause i wanna see him succeed, his videos are so underrated

[@EdChapman23]

Thank you, appreciate that :)

[@sonetteduplessis1023]

i agree

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

7:52 I love how he is casually speaking while that umbrella thing is on his head like it's normal now.

[@NZKiwi87]

I need one of those! 😂

[@ellxxx4996]

i came to the comments straight away 😂

[@bodebennet]

“Not just the top half” has proper tickled me. Been laughing for about 5 minutes

[@matthewmcluckie9904]

Visit Workington for Uppies and Downies next year. A similar game but most of the town not just one street. Uppies get the ball to the castle, downies get it down the harbour. Takes place 3 times a year around Easter.

[@OrangeBananaPear]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@lou7500]

You should go to the Ashbourne Shrovetide it’s been played since about 1667 much bigger and better. The goals are 3 miles apart and in the river, and is 8 hrs a day over 2 days

[@EdChapman23]

2 hours was enough for me thanks!

[@Foxtrotoscar222]

Oh my flipping goodness wow I've never heard of that game before, I'm British born n bread but never seen it, you are so brave ed

[@teenagederpbag]

My dad made the mistake of taking me and my siblings to the Ashbourne one when we were all under 10 years old - scariest experience ever 😂😭

[@Coxy-b34]

The Atherstone Ball game has been played since 1199 and is more violent🤷‍♂

[@Mayaman67]

if you only win at the end, why not wade in right at the end.

[@jasondomican1991]

That umbrella hat was genuinely hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@alexgreenway21]

Bloody lovely to meet you, Ed! Really didn't expect to see you there. I hope you enjoyed yourself. Maybe next year we can form our own team and blow them out of the water!! 🤣👍🏼

[@Shadow-co6uy]

Please got to the cheese roll at coopers hill next

[@fusy83]

That is the most realistic blood ive seen on a thumbnail truly good job ;)

[@sarasate89]

I love these batshit crazy English town sports. Reminds me a bit of Tom Scott's video where he went to a town that throws hot pennies at people on the street 😂

[@Mannydas728]

Man we do have some strange traditions lol

[@RAMBLINGSMANJMB]

8:05 are we just ignoring the fact you went full Brian potter?? 🤣🤣

[@WannabeBallerina]

This is hysterical. I think you really found the perfect balance between acknowledging how mad it is and then drily panning to all the businesses that have literally put up boarding.

[@LittleDaveGuitar]

Nothing like watching a mega punch up and casually dining on a scotch egg, also known as a "petrol station foetus."

[@JustSinde]

Got some sausagerolls just in time for a Chapman video

[@sorobotic88]

"you wait and see" is the most ominous thing I've ever heard. My stresses were entirely alleviated by the umbrella hat thankfully.

[@nathanjhi]

7:56 definitely the most dramatic moment in the video

[@lorddarlo6194]

Classic bit of fun. I've seen it before does look excellent, Atherstone's actual football team play in the same league as my town's team

[@andrewsaxton2421]

It’s been known to get rough in the south stand when Millwall visits, good to see awaydays in the video…. MOT

[@LordChris91]

That is crazy! You should attend the Coopers Hill cheese rolling at Coopers Hill near Gloucester at Spring Bank Holiday.

[@lindasmith6072]

You should go to the tar barrell rolling on guy fawkes night. People run around a small village with a large flaming barrel on their backs.

[@CatsnCoasters]

Keep it on the deck!....its Atherstone's version of The Purge.

[@danielrichards8472]

Basically The Purge 😂

[@srspower]

Surely the key is to wait until 1 hour 45 minutes has gone by and they are all knackered then put a gumshield in, grease yourself up and grab hold of it? It's great though, living history.

[@pryce4917]

I want to see you take part in Cooper's Hill cheese roll next!

[@PxcmanZ]

Should try the ball game in sedgefield (Durham). Quite tame in comparison but still got the spirit and less police😂

[@zookey]

i didnt know this was thing keep up the good work ED on the video Peak youtube right here always entertaining

[@SydneyEvans]

It's always a good day when there's a new Ed video

[@Doctor.Kästien.Louis.Rosenberg]

Love the “ Ed-Bella “ 😂

[@jeremiahallyn4603]

What the...that looks mental, as you always say 😂

[@Matty4738]

Get to Ashbourne for Shrovetide, makes this look like a walk in the park.

[@amandah2490]

Nah. The most dangerous sport is the UK's Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling annual event 😄

[@stellahulott210]

That was absolutely nuts! And soooooo British! hahahahaha! Thanks Ed :)

[@jenstone9308]

Well that was unexpected 😅 Never heard of it! Bizarre. I don't blame you for not getting involved 😂

[@Peterichardson835]

8.47 thought that was a Bad boy chiller crew video for a minute,Ed.

[@michael-heslop-actor]

Another great video. Nice one Ed!

[@markc1793]

Given how violent it can apparently get, it's pretty shocking to me to see so many older people and people with their young kids so close to it all.

[@EdChapman23]

Yeah I couldn't believe how many young kids were knocking about

[@shaun180yogi]

Oh calm down mark ya melt

[@markc1793]

@@EdChapman23Exactly, like it looks like they're fairly good at keeping the "action" contained to those who are willingly taking part, but i mean accidents happen and it just seems like it's asking for trouble having a load of big guys, all amped up, getting rough, with little kids so near by.

[@andymanser2523]

In the August bak holiday you have the Bourton on the Water Football in the River match. Might make an interesting video.

[@nooneknowsmyname6003]

gotta rate how entertaining his vids are

[@blainefitzgerald616]

Really clever choice 👏 I'm only 30 minutes from Atherstone and would have never even thought of going lol. The Appleby horse fair next Ed that would be insane 😂 The ginger hair will keep you incognito 😅

[@Thefatfoodiemcr]

English purge 😂😂😂love it

[@ryewhiskey3437]

Best personality on the internet.

[@shinnyshinnytinfoil]

Cheese rolling next ed!

[@NevilleBamshu23]

My other fave English "sports" are shin kicking and cheese rolling..

"It's all tactical" 😂😂

I bet you were scared for your life pulling out that scotch egg.

[@jamiealbrecht1284]

The "first time here" monologue tickled me😂

[@surfer1690]

"You can chin the postman." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@liambwfc01]

You made me want to be reckless. Well done. I'd have stolen that ball and cowered over it.

[@steventaylor6934]

Another banger Ed 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@icyvoxx]

your blowing up bro gonna hit 100k soon :)

[@wrlddfxty]

i felt unsafe in leeds until i watched this video 💀

I love your channel your the best ❤

[@danielhertzberg2164]

Bloody good thumbnail.

[@missliverpoolcatlady]

This is bizarre 😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelwright2824]

Show this video to anyone who denies that evolution is real.... The Neanderthals didn't fully die out ! 😂🤦

[@tdtm82]

Ellis looks like he's entering a war zone. Great coverage.

[@Real-G-Sounds]

Another one for you Ed check out haxey hood start of every year

[@courtney7055]

Nah you need to go to uppies and downies i would say thats more brutal

[@Bessie66]

Please do the cheese roll challenge - not sure where the hill is that they roll it on?

[@quack437]

I can't believe people take there kids to this 😂😂 what a family day out 😂😂

[@DelSolSunrise]

This is why we love being British!! 😂😂

[@cocopufer5667]

I thought the most dangerous sport in the UK was the St Barth hot cross buns giveaway?

[@markwood1846]

Next time try the Haxey hood, similar thing

[@Mattitude-29]

And I thought cheese-rolling was bonkers! Fair play to those taking a battering 🤣

[@brandonm8901]

I think Ashbourne's is bigger than this tbh

[@B3tanTyronne]

I can see a shoe! Such an Alan Partridge'ism it hurts 😀

[@grimupnorth2023]

Did I blink and miss you playing? A bit like when you went to the mean streets of Blackpool, and spent the whole time in your hotel room. Love your videos tho.

[@EdChapman23]

I won it

[@oaksteel5173]

Is that Will Sasso in the thumbnail? 😂

[@ethanhull1213]

Chin the postman😂😂

[@EziosBladez]

Heavily policed >.> There is two bobbies on the street.

[@Jjxx_xx]

It's not a sport this is a prison game we used to play this in borstal Young offenders prison you would have a team each side who got the ball at the end wins and whoever had teeth left at the end wins 😂

[@noodly237]

trip to spud man on the way back ed?

[@Trolldollz]

Been looking forward to this lol 😆

[@brewsterkits]

that was just plain daft!! no worse than the spanish tomato fight or bull running!

The cheese rolling event is more entertaining

[@hearingthesmells2500]

Bro been here loads of times!!!!!!!!

[@BanoffeeCheesecake]

I think you should do a youtube collab with Joe Weller, an exploring video. I would be able to die in peace tbh.

[@DJChipsandGarlic]

i thought there was a red stain on my pc screen before loading ;P

[@CrocusPocus]

Cheese rolling when??

[@ennbee5053]

Thought The Undertaker would've won tbh...
