History Of Football
Sometime around 1050, Englishmen dug up a skull of a dane and started to kick it around in frustration toward the daneIt became known as "Kicking the dane's head" .The skull began to hurt the boy's feet, so a boy came up with the idea of using an inflated cow bladder to help their feet(Tuttle, 13).
In 1189, King Henry banned the game, because people were too involved in the game to practice archery and fighting for war(Tuttle, 13). During the 1500's the game shifted to Ireland where people invented the Irish rules that made the game tougher. As the game progressed it turned into soccer and rugby(Tuttle, 14).
