Principal Dumbass sure rattled off a string of negatives about a sport that no one in the history of the world ever had a problem with...until now.

Yet more to support the notion Americans are too fearful of their own shadow to take even the slightest of risks.... either of sprained ankles or lawsuits.

A chicken-sh*t society we’ve become.

My high school did this every year back in the day. I remember one year a girl shattered her leg.

Play the game off campus where the dipweed has no say. I never needed a principle’s permission to play flag football. What is heshe going to do expel them for playing somewhere else?

Our district cancelled the flag football powder puff games because it got to be too much. Girls wanting to settle old scores, fights before the game about what was going to happen in the game, fights during the game, and then revenge attacks by losing fighters after the game. The last straw was the sups daughter slipping and breaking her elbow.

All told, homecoming week is much better without it. Girls that don’t like each other have gone back to talking each other into eating disorders.

Hell hath no fury, eh? I remember at my school after cheerleader tryouts, after the final cuts had been made, the teacher in charge of the cheer squad came out and found all four of her tires had been slashed. Sore losers obviously.

There is a simple solution, get the word out that the game is still on, don’t use any wording that could possibly connect it to the school or school district and lastly hold it in a public park outside of school hours. Then let Principal Dumbass pee their pants over something they have no control over. Hell it would probably be at least twice as popular.
