This particular sport was officially created in 1891 as a less dangerous game substitute for darts (during the 19th century, darts were actually blades and the dart board had loud touch-sensitive explosive firecrackers attached, which represented points). One harsh winter day, a physical education teacher named James Naismith decided to stay home indoors and called his buddies to join him in a game of darts. Unfortunately for James, none of his friends answered his calls due to the fact that he was the only person in his town to even own a telephone. The only other person in the world that had a telephone was Alexander Graham Bell. Bell, an expert darts player, accepted Naismith invitation to play a game. After winning the first game by hitting the bullseye, Bell became increasingly curious as to why the black cherry bomb in the middle center of the dart board didn't explode (cherry bombs were used as bullseyes during the 1890s). Figuring the bomb to be a dud, Naismith went over and started pulling off all the daggers (darts) in order to start another game. Upon pulling out Bell's winning dagger, Naismith blew off his hand and part of his forearm. Embarrassed, Naismith apologized for his inappropriate display of gore, wrapped up his arm stump and excused himself to the local infirmary (hospital). During his travel home, Bell wrote a belligerent letter to Milton Bradley, demanding that he make his game more safe for consumer use and handling. He also wrote another letter to Naismith accepting his apology and asking if he could invent a significantly more harmless game for their next play date. Attached to the letter inside the envelope was a check for $10 dollars ($50 dollars adjusted for inflation). The money was not meant as damage reparation for his domicile, but meant to fund Naismith's entrepreneurial experiment. The profits of which Bell would receive 80 percent of and all rights as full creator.</blockquote>
