The focus on small rural communities in pre-industrial Britain was the basis for mob football. It was used as a way for the people to gather, celebrate, and just have some communal fun. The Industrial Revolution led to extensive flight from these communities to the city and devalued the importance of mob football.

What form of mob violence was done in Great Britain against tax collectors but never actually done here in America?

In Great Britain, the form of mob violence known as the "Gordon Riots" in 1780 involved large crowds attacking tax collectors and other officials, primarily fueled by anti-Catholic sentiment and opposition to tax policies. While America experienced various forms of protest against taxation, such as the Boston Tea Party, there was no direct equivalent to the widespread mob violence against tax collectors seen in Britain. Instead, American protests tended to focus more on organized resistance and civil disobedience rather than outright violence against officials.


What is the difference between football now than in the middle ages?

AnswerThere was no football in the middle ages. Football doesn't show up until the 1900's. AnswerThere are many different games called football today, among which are American football, Soccer, Rugby, all of which have rules that are pretty well codified. Games that are played informally today generally are based on these written codes of rules, to some degree or other. By contrast, medieval football had very few rules. In fact the rules were so sparse that what was called "mob football" had no limits on the numbers of players each side could have.Please use the link below for more information on medieval football.

Why was football called mob football in the middle ages?

There were different kinds of football played in the Middle Ages, and mob football was one of them. There was no set of rules, except as was agreed upon at the beginning of the game. In the case of mob football, the rules might have consisted merely of where the goals were, and the number of people playing on either side was not stipulate, so the sides could be whoever wished to join in, in whatever number they came.
