There have been many attempts to ban [football](/wiki/Football "Football"), from the [middle ages](/wiki/Middle_ages "Middle ages") through to the modern day. The first such law was passed in [England](/wiki/England "England") in 1314; it was followed by more than 30 in England alone between 1314 and 1667.[1]: 6 Football faced armed opposition in the 18th Century when used as a cover for violent protest against the [enclosure act](/wiki/Enclosure_act "Enclosure act "). Women were banned from playing at English and Scottish Football League grounds in 1921, a ban that was only lifted in the 1970s. Female footballers still face similar problems in some parts of the world. Mass or [mob football](/wiki/Mob_football "Mob football") was popular in [medieval](/wiki/Middle_Ages "Middle Ages") and [early modern Europe](/wiki/Early_modern_Europe "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.
