Tag, Touch Football banned

Why do you hate America?

 

I'm no parent, so perhaps this is a naive view, but for the most part, the worst that's going to happen to a kid playing tag or touch football is they break an arm or something. It sounds terrible and I'm sure no parent wants to see their kid in pain, but damn, a broken bone really isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

I, like most of you, played touch football as a kid. Hell, we played tackle football when we could get away with it. We played a game called "muckle," in which the object was that everyone -- I mean everyone -- tried to tackle the kid with the ball. It was one-on-30 mayhem.

I rode a bicycle with no helmet. I jumped out of trees just for kicks. Somehow, I -- and hundreds of thousands of kids just like me -- survived all that and didn't get brain damage (at least not from anything worse than excessive amounts of hops and barley).

Toughen up, you pussies!

 

If kids can't play tag and touch football at recess and lunch, it ain't America any more.

 

Terrorists = Ambulance chasing lawyers

 

Yeah, I guess that is one way to put it.

 

Were we the only ones to call it "Smear the Queer?" Not that we knew what exactly the word meant.

 

Maybe they should just ban recess.

 

From now on during recess, we'll have the kids go sit under the shade trees and smoke. They'll be safer that way.

 

Didn't I see somewhere that games like this were banned elsewhere because it harms the psyche of the person deemed "it"????

More retarded P. C.

It's gotta stop -- NOW!!

 

I don't think the parents who had fun at these when they were kids are the ones clammoring for the changes. Methinks it would be the ones who were unsuccessful trying to impose on other children similar to the "bullies" they had in school now.

 

Could lead to dancin'.
