A strange little side quest
A little context makes Jump and Goal more fun to place on the gaming map. The penalty kick entered football's laws in 1891 and was nicknamed the 'kick of death' in its early days. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. So a round of Jump and Goal is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer football timeline.
