Reply #47: And I'm sure that's ALWAYS the case.

Dodgeball. Something still played in the playground of my old elementary school.

"Target" is defined as "receiver" in football, IIRC. Then there's track, where one can easily fall and break a leg, and swimmers are known to occasionally cramp. Drowning is a real possibility, even WITH all the safety equipment.

Do high school still use hurdles? I always thought that was too dangerous (and no, I'm NOT joking- I could very very easily see myself not making it over one and smashing my face in on the track.)

If sports inherently contain an element of danger of physical harm, possibly resulting in paralysis or death, they ought to be banned.

Number one on my list is football.
