Come to think of it, combat very well COULD be a sport there. Just in a non-lethal form. I mean, Look at pro-bending. That's pretty violent, but it's a big deal. Going back a bit, I can see Yang being a major fan of a team, and Blake being a (Secret) major fan of another team.

The two teams, naturally, end up being the finalists in a tournament or whatever, and the two go at each other in a murderous Fangirl Rage. Nora, and Ren, meanwhile, are making a killing off of taking bets on which team, and more importantly, whether Yang or Blake will win. sort of how people in Ancient Rome reacted when their teams lost, they would even incite riot due to loyalty to their team.

your thinking of the demes, right?

the best example is the Nika Riots although they were more politically motivated
