Cute article from ESPN about how childish we're getting, especially with our children.

Here's a sample:

"A Santa Monica elementary school principal recently banned tag, saying the game can only be played under the strict supervision of physical education teachers and not at all during the lunch hour recess. That's due to: one, the risk of injury; and two, a "self-esteem issue," because whoever is "it" could be considered a "victim.""

Bloody hell.

I hate public schools. No wonder our children are turning into the such "sue you", "it's about me" creatures that they are.
