Should American schools ban activities that involve balls?

The principal stated "Kids were coming in complaining of injury, or being scared."

That's a little sexist and would hurt.

What's that you say? Oh.......those balls.

Now we know where you all's minds are at!

That reminds me of a joke .....

A man was at his psychiatrist's office to undergo some psychological diagnostic testing to find the source of his stress .. so the Doctor administered an ink blot test. The ink blot test is just a random pattern of ink on paper ,, and the patient is to describe what that pattern looks like ...

So the Doctor shows him the first one ... what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Patient: it looks like a naked woman.

Doc: how bout this one? That one looks like two naked women.

Next: Well that appears to be a woman's naked breast

Next: Now that looks like two naked women and a naked man

OK, next one: well that looks like a woman and a man having sex

Alright, now the last one: Oh that's easy, that's two women having sex.

Hmmm, mumbles the Doctor. The patient says .. "well what do think Doc ... what is your diagnosis" ?

The doctor: Well Mr. Jones, it seems that you have a serious problem. Your thoughts appear to be dominated with images of sex and naked women.

The Patient: Well Doctor, that's easy for you to say, but you're the one with all the dirty pictures!

As always, liberalism sooner or later tends to collapse of its own weight.

A suitable new name might be 'HardTingles'

I think the founding fathers should have included some type of constitutional protection for balls.

The feminists have been trying to chop them off for decades ...

The chemicals in the food, water and drugs are trying to sterilize them and make them not work

Political correctness now demands that you show no outward signs of having any

The TSA is now squeezing them to keep air travel safe

And now the nuts (pun intended) dominating the school system want to ban them from the playground.

It's a hostile world out there for balls these days.

Sure paper can cause cuts it must go... Not to mention air planes drop bombs, and we can't have jane and jonny thinking about anything that could drop bombs, any more than their hands could simulate guns! OMG did i say guns?

OMG.

The idiocy knows no bounds. Banning "balls" in school?! Why don't we just put all the kids in a giant bubble and place them in a rubber room.

Man I'm sick of some of these "new" parents. Your kid is going to get scrapes and bruises and maybe even break an arm at some point. GET OVER IT! It happens!

My old baseball coaches taught us to stay in front of the ball and stop grounders with our face if we had to.

They told me if I broke my nose, they would buy me a banana split.

Luckily, I only bit through my tongue fielding grounders.
