Golf was banned in England and Scotland in 1457 by King James II because he claimed it distracted people from the archery practice necessary for national defense.
...and just mention cutting back any sport in education to make ends meet! Just try! talk about grass roots rebellion. Throw out those silly drama and music programs first. I mean chorus alone costs a fortune. xoxo Charlie
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Yes, it does.

Right! They never want to get rid of sports, but that threat usually gets them to agree to higher taxes or whatever.
All able bodied males had to practise archery every Sunday by law.
