Just was talking to a gentleman (42) from Brooklyn (Williamsburg to be precise). He told me that the knock out game has been around since at least the 70s, if not earlier. To his shame, he participated in it quite willingly. There was, however, a huge difference in the game as played by him and his peers -- you got points for knocking down someone bigger or the same size as you and it could only be another male and was black on black. If you didn't knock him out, you fought. He thinks the new variation is absolutely disgusting and was ashamed that he had even participated in the older version.
