This can not be for real
today, new york state enacted a law which is for "the protection of children". it lists activities, including : freeze tag, whiffle ball, red rover, dodge ball, kickball and a few more activities which the state deems highly likely to cause injuries and dangerous.
if any entity participates in 2 or more of these activities, it must now register and pay a fee to the state of new york.
you must be bullshi-ting me ?
does this sh-t ever stop ?

This ranks right up there with outcome based youth soccer and baseball, where nobody really keeps "score".

My favorite was the game the teachers made of hunting down us smokers in the boys' room or on The Path. They called it 'Capture the Fag'.

it's funny and laughable but as long as it's on the books they'll enforce it.
the laws of the land regarding gambling are just as laughable but they've ruined many lives enforcing those. ask the poker players.
government, absolutely, out of control and even with current affairs in every aspect of our lives.....they can not control themselves and realize that things like this are non of their f--kin business.
