At least 90% of this is likely totally made up. The narrator admits that he doesn't even know how the game is won, yet goes on in depth endlessly about the intention behind the game.
"Oh these savages they were such incredible thinkers." "They thought <15 minutes of nonsense about the sun and the earth>" "Then they murdered the losing/winning team, whichever one, we don't know anything" "The ball was hard/very soft we don't know" "The ball required thousands of trees to be cut down to make it and they carried it for days"
I believe almost nothing being said. It was some game involving a ball in a society that regularly sacrificed or murdered one another, that's about it.
