Not going to lie...I thought of the body spray at first....lol
Besides, how else is the fat kid going to learn how to run fast...
Maybe they'll be safer, but will they fatter? I thought obesity was the most dangerous thing affecting our kids today. Now kids can't even run on the playground because they might skin a knee. I wonder if there were more Dads involved in PTA if there would be this banning of all "ball" sports.

Who said this country has not lost control of its judicial processes?? Frivolous law? Naw.....and who benefits? Yes, the people who have fostered it, and support it -- the lawyers and the courts.....
Well even the Clintons, Bonnie and Clyde, knew the judiciary was the only was to move for absolute power...they tried, did a pretty good job of redesigning the federal system with their stooges.....always keep an eye on the judiciary....and the Congress for that matter.
And I bet Gaylene... can snug a condom on a cucumber like nobody's business.
A few years ago, my daughter broke her arm playing on the monkey bars during school recess. It was actually the second broken arm in her particular 2nd grade class on that particular piece of equiptment within a month. I didn't know those facts at the time but even now still consider it an accident.
For days I had calls from the school board, the principal and the teacher telling me how concerned they were for my daughter and offering any help they could. When I told the principal that I was not taking legal action the phone calls of concern stopped.
Yep, this is a great idea. We had over 2,763 deaths last year from kids playing tag, 87,456 from kids playing touch football, 22,392 from playing kickball, and over 367,945 from cutting paper and ribbons on art projects! What bulls*** will they come up with next? Someone needs to fire a school principal for sheer stupidity.
And they wonder why US is losing its competitive edge.
Take that lesson away from kids and in 15 years we'll have adults walking into lamposts!
What's exclusionary about it? If you're willing to go in there and get hit with the ball without snivelling about it then you can play.
But kids can be killed in school by insane gunmen and the schools could be held liable.
Close the public schools.
H*ll you can fall and break you arm walking across a parking lot completely sober! Really!
MORONS
The kids will always find something else to keep them occupied. My 13 yr old son and his buddies play a nice benign game called 'quarters'. They sit in a circle with one kid putting his knuckles on the ground and another firing a quarter at his knuckles. The point? See who can get the bloodiest knuckles. Tag seems a heckuva lot safer. I haven't asked him what the big bag of rubberbands in his backpack is for.....
My wife works at a small private school in VA, and its recess area has virtually no swings, etc. It does have a sandpit.
No tag, no football, no nothing. Too many dadburned lawyers in America - and the law schools are still chock full!
I suppose playing "smear the queer" would be out of the question too.
