I just don’t know what to say. Just another example of what a sad state we’re getting to because of the legal system.

What a smart idea. Lets take away one of the biggest forms of exercise and energy burning for kids. Then watch these same people bitch that their kids are fat and hyperactive. So then they can put them on meds to calm them down. All we need are more fat over medicated people in this country.

my gym teacher just named it LOPONTI-ball… which was his last name…
i remember at wrestling practice they had a “fun” warm up day… but they didnt have any of the gator skin balls, so they used basketballs and soccer balls… it was jammed fingers and welted skin every other throw… fun times though none-the-less

“i’ve witnessed enough near collisions” OMG. are these people retarded? this dumb woman needs to have a collision down a flight of stairs.
i always loved dodgeball, handball, gym brutality kill the person with the ball, and almost anything else that had to do with roughing people up. and most guys were bigger than me, lol. besides, if u got hurt, it was a good excuse to get out of class.

:gay3:
Maybe he’ll like this kind of tag eventually.
Lame how they are taking away so much of childhood because someone “might” get hurt. And then they will sue.
Maybe I should sue my high school because I’m not as smart as I think I should be.
