It's so sad. They've stripped the playgrounds of...wait for it...tetherballs.

What a weak society. I say this often; but I hope this last 2 generations doesn't have to defend us older folks.

Pretty sure at this point I'd rather do the fighting than have all these pudgy kids I see these days.

I can still feel the sting of a tetherball to the face!

Oh God or a kickball...and worse a basketball.

And for all the baseball I played I don't remember anyone ever suffering Commotio Cordis.

Or the dodge ball slammed at our bare legs. Boys loved it (us girls wore dresses and skirts in elementary school).
