11. WHAT WERE THE MAIN ENTERTAINMENTS FOR THE PEOPLE?

Two sports now considered inhumane were active twice a week in London.

Large crowds of both men and women of all classes flocked to see bear baiting or bull baiting

Team sports gained in popularity during Elizabeth's reign. They, too, were rough and violent like the sports involving animals. Common men played football (not an ancestor of American football, despite the similarities) received its name not because the ball was kicked but because all the players went on foot. It was extremely violent as there were few rules. Hurling, a combination of hockey and polo, had some players on foot, others on horseback. The object of the game was to strike a ball (with a stick or a club) so that it went over the opponents' goal.
