Did you also know that one of the first motion pictures was shot to measure the gate of a race horse by Leland Stanford, who would go on to create Stanford University where the eugenics movement would get its legs and horse breeding theories of genetic prowess were applied to humans, and subsequently they would use the Stanford University as a test bed to breed umbermensch that would go on to inspire the Nazis? Yes this sounds insane but all of it is true. Also college football became a method to study human combat ability for the US military.
