Football is war!!!

It was crazy violent. Most recurrent injury was stabbing because in medieval times all men would carry a knife.

Due to several deaths, monarchs wanted to ban football. Henry the 8th banned it, although he was a player himself (he was the first player in the world to have football boots made out of Italian leather).

He found it to be dangerous and suggested men take up archery instead.
