A couple of weeks ago, I volunteered at my kid’s school’s track meet. I ended up working javelin. High school kid from south of the border (California - big burly farm kid) came by and told me that their school did not have javelin as it wasn’t legal in California. He wanted to know if he could try it anyway since the track meet was in Oregon. (He tried it and admitted that it’s harder than it looks)

I know that a couple of kids have been injured or killed due to carelessness on their parts or, more particularly, on the part of the coaches, etc. But that’s an administrative problem, don’t outlaw the sport. Kids have also died playing football, running cross country and track due to undetected health problems. Shouldn’t we eliminate those sports, just to be safe. Remember, no running in the hallways. Nanny state forever.
