Dodgeball ban at New Hampshire school district after bullying
Published March 28, 2013
Associated Press
WINDHAM, N.H. – A New Hampshire school district has banned dodgeball and other "human target" activities over concerns about violence and bullying.
The school board in Windham voted 4-1 last week to remove the game and nine others from the district's curriculum.
The Eagle-Tribune reports the board voted after a committee of physical education teachers studied the issue. A middle school parent complained his child was bullied during a dodgeball game.
The committee recommended eliminating the game, and others, including prison ball, slaughter, and bombardment.
"We spend a lot of time making sure our kids are violence free," Windham superintendent Dr. Henry LaBranche said. "Here we have games where we use children as targets. That seems to be counter to what we are trying to accomplish with our anti-bullying campaign."
School Board member Dennis Senibaldi cast the sole vote against the ban.
"We have rules that are set in place to deal with bullying," he said. "We don't need to ban an entire round of games just to enforce those rules."
The National Association for Sport and Physical Education said there are any number of reasons to drop dodgeball.
"It's an elimination game," said Andrew Mead, program manager at NASPE. "Games like dodgeball and tag don't keep kids involved and physically active. They objectify slower students who don't catch as well."
Senibaldi offered a solution.
"We could just do it on a point system," he said. "So, no one gets knocked out right away."

Baseball is more boring than soccer

And those who hate soccer are going to hate taking their kids to soccer practice and hate the changing American demographic that loves soccer. I think it will still be a decade or so away before uSA is relevant in soccer, but the interest is growing faster than you want to admit.

No, soccer will never be more than a fringe sport in the USA. We have too many interesting things to do and sports that take hand-eye coordination.
People in the Congo don't have anything better to do than kick a ball around.

Soccer is 100000 times more of an athletic sport than any other sport played. More speed, endurance, acceleration, coordination involved than any sport. Have any football player in the world try to hang with the highest level professional soccer endurance workouts...wouldn't happen. For the fools that think it's a pansy sport try playing in a game where there's real soccer players and you'd be lying on the ground bleeding. Soccer is an awesome sport. Soccer athletes wise > all sports
Clemson's own oguchi onyewu is 6'5 and well over 200 pounds. I'd love to see the people in this thread who think soccer is a sport for pansies try to play any sport against him. You'd get laid out

weighs 160ish lbs. i have seen oguchi's weight at 200, not well over it as you suggest. the tallest player i've seen is 6'7ish, but weighs in the neighborhood of 170 lbs.
a professional soccer player would get passed around a professional baseball, football or basketball locker room shower like the little biotches they are.
when's flopping practice again? oooops, yellow card; i thinks she's going to cry.

You obviously know absolutely nothing about sports. Oguchi would literally kill 95% of baseball or basketball players in a fight. He's definitely in better athletic condition than every single one of them bar none. He played here at Clemson. He is in men's health's strength issue, was in ESPN the magazine's body issue but yeah he's a pansy alright. I linked the picture above in my post so you could see what I'm talking about. Not many baseball players would want to go 1v1 versus the gooch. Look at injuries in soccer versus baseball. A baseball player might tear an oblique, hurt a hand, or tear up an elbow pitching. What part of that is tough? That's pansy if ANY sport is for pansies (I for one don't think baseball players are pansies but it's more of a pansy sport than soccer). Look into the upper levels of soccer and you'll see it is an extremely physical game.
Do me a favor and watch this full vid if you think soccer is for pansies. Plays like this happen at all levels of soccer a whole lot more than an ignorant soccer hater like yourself would like to believe

For every "gooch" out there, there's a Jonathan Ogden, Tony Gonzalez, LeBron James, and countless other behemoth athletes who would wipe the floor with any soccer player on the planet. I love Oneywu, but he is just one example.
As stated before, the average soccer player would get torn apart against an average baseball, basketball, or football player

and i'm sure they accelerate quite often. any sport where the ref's try and hand the players a card to get their autographs shouldn't be called a sport. soccer is just a pass-time game.they do have a great medicinal spray,though. i've seen soccer players break their leg ( or at least act like it ) and get sprayed with that stuff and are up and playing in less than 5 seconds. stuff is truly amazing. hitting a fastball at 100+ mph, with movement on the ball, is the single hardest thing to do in any sport.

Sorry, but baseball is just as boring to me as soccer, maybe more so, at times. I mean, in what other sport do you sit on your butt for half the game, even if you're pitching? And why do baseball coaches feel the need to dress like the players.....that's just stupid!

to the players before the game. Coaches WOULD look foolish out there on the mound in a coat and tie, now wouldn't they?
Hey, do soccer players take acting lessons and practice their flopping, or does it take natural athletic skill to do that well?
