The  first recorded use of the word 'foot-ball' in English dates from
1314, when London's mayor prohibited games in the city.
 
As for laws:
King Henry I, who ruled England from 1100 to 1135, declared that
deaths accidentally caused by practicing archers didn?t count as
murder or manslaughter.
 
During the reign of Henry III, the 1252 Assize of Arms required that
able-bodied men of a certain means between the ages of 15 and 60 be
equipped with a bow and arrows and know how to use them
 
Tn 1363, King Edward III,  declared that able-bodied men must practice
archery on holidays.
 
The Archery Law, enacted that same year, further demanded practice on
Sundays.
 
Edward also outlawed, on pain of imprisonment, watching or
participating in ?vain games of no value,? a wide net that included
handball, football, hurling stones, and cockfighting.

All men in Switzerland today are required to have a military rifle of the correct caliber and know how to use it. In the time of Edward III there was a great deal more3 chance of invasion of England than there is today of someone invading Switzerland.

Countires don't invade Switzerland because the names of
tax-evading criminals might become public. Not because of any
pea-shooters the population might have. Switzerland saves a pack of
money by spending very little on armed forces. Strange that psychopath
and his DOGE didn't figure that out and cut military spending.
Wars are fought by psychopaths with computers, missiles and
drones, not rifles.
