And instead of hitting a ball with a stick, they’d chop commoners heads off, otherwise pretty much the same game

Except they did hit a ball with a stick. And I don't think beheadings were a regular part of the game though they were certainly a part of the culture.

I'm not sure, but perhaps you're conflating this game with one in mesoamerica where sacrifice and beheadings were seemingly common in conjunction with the game.
