The best our young men of today can do for sport is run around with broomsticks where their balls ought to be and throw foam balls?
What ever happened to football, rugby or baseball.

Too dangerous. The current school boards want a "kinder, gentler" type of school child.

Elementary school outlaws playing tag, 'running in packs' 10/5/2013
New Groningen kindergarten teachers in Grand Rapids, Michigan caused some consternation amongst parents recently with a letter they sent home that banned the game of tag and other chase-oriented games. The letter described the problem of children, "running in packs, pushing, knocking other children over, and making the game dangerous," which as we recall, was half the fun of the game. "We want our children to treat each other with respect, kindness, and with safety in mind," said Ginger Smith, community relationship manager for Zeeland Public Schools, on Friday, in an attempt to clarify the situation. Apparently, neither the school nor the district have received any direct complaints from parents regarding the policy, but at least one did contact the media.

Welcome to the "pussification" of America. |
I was contracted to set-up the Las Vegas School Fencing League.
The Las Vegas School District, the 4th largest school district in the country got right into it. Fencing has more unfilled scholarships by dollar every year then any other sport in the US.
We started things up, where in 17 schools, and then the new district Lawyer got wind of it. Bam....shut down...too dangerous... 
I mean...all we where doing was teaching inner city black kids how to use sharp objects.

Hate to be the one to say it but at least those kids are running around getting some exercise and not sitting on the couch playing video games.

Why does this seem like the society in Demolition man, before the bad guys were killed? Is it just me? Soon, all restaurants will be Taco Bell.... FML.

Ha. If someone starts pushing sex-helmets, I'll secede from human society.
