WINDHAM, N.H. (CBS) – Dodgeball has been bounced in Windham.
The classic gym class game has been a rite of passage for years, but dodgeball may have met its match in the form of the Windham School board, which at a recent meeting voted 4-1 to end dodgeball and other so-called “human target” activities, games with names like bombardment and slaughter.

“Murderball” and “Smear the Queer” were widely played playground games when I was a kid.
It’s too bad that fat nannies in pant-suits have to ruin everything fun.

The parents who complained remind me of the owner of the Charlston Chiefs in Slapshot and a quote from it. “Jack Robinson!”

The wussification of America continues. This also coincides with the gay marriage push. Coincidence?

Yeah. It’s fun to play dodgeball with softballs! But it’s best if you wear a helmet.

Hmm, wonder if that ban will apply to the Dept of Ed’s targeting of our children...for indoctrination purposes. Doubtful.
To: Darren McCarty
I’d like to see them try to ban Calvinball! One of the key aspects of the game is that the rules change every time. :)

My Facebook friends from NH are blaming this on the invasion of Massholes.

who uses softballs? At school we used the red rubber playground balls. In the neighborhood we used tennis balls or crab apples. The crab apples stung a bit, but we laughed it off and kept playing.
Nerf was a damn stupid invention...kids today are way too soft.
