Upon reflecting upon the matter I must link to the item below to show just how fortunate(?) the world is due to the non banning of the ''game'' of football.

Mass football in Europe
Mass or mob football was popular in medieval and early modern Europe. It involved an unlimited number of players and very few rules; the game often caused damage to people and property and was seen as a distraction from more desirable work which led to many attempts at banning the game in Britain and France.
England
Complaints by London merchants led King Edward II of England to issue a proclamation banning football in London on April 13, 1314 because, "...there is great noise in the city caused by hustling over large balls from which many evils may arise which God forbid; we command and forbid, on behalf of the King, on pain of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in the future."
