Context: Political correctness and the litigious nature of modern America has claimed another victim in the age-old game of tag. Schools in the United States have banned the sport saying that it's 'too dangerous' and 'has the potential for serious injury'. This is of course as American children are the fattest and unhealthiest that they've ever been. A time where parents practically have to use a crowbar to get them up from the Playstation or XBox and out into the backyard to do some physical activity. Good work schools; well thought-out. This comes just months after schools banned the other classic schoolyard/oval game of dodgeball. |
