      Read the text about chariot racing.

       
      The most popular form of entertainment in Constantinople was the chariot races in the hippodrome, which could hold more than 50 000 spectators. The two main teams were the blues and the greens and each one had many fans. As well as sporting rivalry, there were political differences between the teams and violent clashes between them were common.
       
      How is it similar to and different from pastimes people enjoy nowadays?
