And another thing, I was a punny kid in 1970’s and we played dodgeball at recess all the time and I always got picked last, always got creamed, but loved every minute of it. It builds character and well I guess liberals dont like building character on the young ones.....
Basically, you'd divide up into two teams, with each taking one side on a basketball court, with about 15-20 rubber kickballs, and then just "shoot" it out, much like dodge ball. It was rough and both guys and gals played, and we all had a good time, occasional bruises and bangs notwithstanding. I guess the game is no longer played now...
