When they tore down Ebbetts Field, the old home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, they built a big apartment complex on the site. there’s a sign in the open area that says “No Ball Playing.”
“Woke” emasculating the male species to make it more effeminate. Should we forget that these last dozen years it’s been war against responsible initiative takers with simultaneous praise for lazy entitled stagnant sloths???
Once again I am reminded of “With Folded Hands.” I remember after I read it, I thought, we don’t need robots to wind up in that condition, we’re headed that way ourselves.
About once a week, our grade school principal would come to our classroom & scold us because some 1st or 2nd grader got clobbered while we were playing crack-the-whip, red rover, or British at recess.
My kids wore helmets when they were on the bicycle because of state law. Otherwise, they pretty much did what I did as a kid. Now their kids are doing the same. Then again, the kids with helicopter parents couldn’t even get dirty

No running – Jog or sprint. No jumping – Hop around. No throwing – Just toss. No kicking – Then just go screaming

Unfortunately, there are some parents who will sue the school if their little darlings get hurt, which ruins things for everyone else.
