Dodgeball Anybody

            Dodge Ball Anybody

Dodgeball is a violent and dangerous P.E activiy for students. At first it can start out fun and easy but can turn into a competitive and bone crushing disaster. There has been many lawsuits and devastations which occur during this game. It has also lead to bullying. Kids try to aim mostly at the kids who are easy targets, that is a case of bullying. Plus I don't think that throwing things at human tatgets is the idea game for a school. 


Defenders of dodgeball believe the game allows kids who are not good athletes to participate in a team sport. They say it is a fun way to teach hand-eye coordination, concentration and the ability to think fast. But a 2nd grader named Heather didn't think that way, Heather became tangled with another child and fell, breaking her elbow. Her lawyer, Philip Johnson, said the injury required surgery and there is a continuing concern her injured arm might not grow as long as her other arm because a growth plate may have been affected. All of this was because of dodgeball, of dodgeball!!! I mean like, seriously.
