You mean
murder-ball and it was properly done using those small plastic (American) footballs, hockey pucks, frisbees and the occasional softball (which could be real jawbreakers if you got hit).
Actually, when we played murder ball, it was in the pool (told you I went to a rich kid school ;) ) on Friday, but only if we swam well for the team that week. You got hit with a heavy, waterlogged, styrofoam float. It really only seemed like murder when coach caught one & lobbed it back in from pool side. He had a hell of an arm.

Don't keep it in jimjack - tell us how you really feel about fat people.

Well that would exclude people with medical conditions, but then I would be derailing the topic on hand here.

We're going to be a nation of obese agoraphobics at this rate.
Tag is a form of exercise and there is an epedemic of obesity among kids.
Is this the early stages of insanity?

We'll all be a bunch of kinder gentler obese people soon enough. Their plan is working.
Maybe law schools should impose extreme limits on how many people are admitted. Then there would be a shortage of lawyers and so people wouldn't be able to afford to sue unless it were really necessary. Lawyers that specialize in lawsuits are the worst kind of people. If kids cannot play during recess, they will get fatter and fatter. And, then what? They will all be laying around the soccer field like a bunch of boneless chickens.
With out the game of tag and dodgeball, however painful, I would have never of been in good enough shape to outrun the bullies, because they have fists that hurt a lot, and falling on the ground is much safer.

And we can't let that happen. But don't worry, I have an idea. As soon as JimJack finishes school, he must train to be a gym teacher, and then he will have students learn to box and wrestle each other to the ground. The dads will be so proud of their boys.
The moment we let elementary school children become pussies, will be the moment I stop being a white ass nigga.

WHEN WILL ALL THIS HEALTH AND FUCKING SAFETY STOP?!?!?!?!

I don't think that it is really safety paranoia. I'm not sure the school was saying "Oh, no tag is too unsafe! We should ban it!" I think it was more "OMG! Some kid's mom could sue our asses. Ban tag, someone could get hurt." I think the problem could be solved in one of two ways.
1) The school bans tag but doesn't enforce it at all. That way if some kid gets hurt playing it and tries to sue, they would get in trouble, not the school.
2) Make the suer pay the court fees, not the government. That way people can't go throwing around all these stupid lawsuits. If they lose the case they have to pay quite a bit of money.

What about legitimate cases of negligence on the school's behalf?
