I would say no, let's not ban it. Let's not let a few kids who misbehave ruin it for the ones who can handle it. At my old school they were pretty good at enforcing the 'no throwing at faces' rule and pretty good about sitting the kids who would purposely hurt others 의해 whipping the ball at them. So no, it's just a game and it's usually fun.

And if you're worried about injuries. Well look at football and cheer leading. 더 많이 injuries happen in those spots and no one even talks about banning them. I've seen cheer leaders fall and break legs. And I've heard many stories of football players with concussions and torn muscles. Even swimming is a 더 많이 dangerous sport and swimmer don't really even make contact with their competitors. I speak from expirance in this one; if 당신 pull a muscle in the water (and I've done it and kept swimming) to put it simply I almost drowned. I really haven't heard any dodge ball horror stories outside a bloody nose 또는 a big bruise, if that.

Again, 당신 really have to be clearer. Are 당신 against a ban on dodgeball at schools, 또는 against dodgeball existing at schools and therefore supportive of the ban? Your stance is unclear.

I am personally against a ban. I think that there's nothing specifically bad about this sport that warrants a ban. It's not especially damaging (especially not compared to wrestling 또는 football), it's not especially harmful to psyches in some special way, and even if it was, that doesn't warrant a ban. Kids should be able to opt out, but that's not a ban.

No. It's a game.

The way we played dodge ball was we had teams, most of the time evenly in half, and we threw two 또는 three balls at each other until everyone on the opposing team was out. If 당신 have a thing against being hit 의해 a ball 또는 if you're a sore loser, don't play. It's a game. It's supposed to be fun and not taken too seriously. 당신 can take football and baseball seriously, but let kids have fun and play a game.

I would ban it, 또는 at least ban making it mandatory.
When I was in elementary school, we played a game very similar to dodgeball. It had most of the same rules, just a different name.
The fact that the objective of the game is to hit people with balls is the deal breaker.
It's vastly different from football and cheerleading. The objective of cheerleading is not to drop girls. The objective of football is not to tackle people ( besides, 당신 have mandatory protective gear. 당신 get penalized for not wearing it)
Not to mention these sports are never mandatory. When football is mandatory in school, it's usually flag football.

I agree with not making it mandatory, but what you've cited here doesn't appear to be reason enough to ban it. You're right that it has an objectived aimed at hitting other people with balls, and you're right that many other sports don't have that direct objective. But that doesn't mean that tackling doesn't happen (a lot) in football. Nor does that excuse wrestling, which does have the actual objective of incapacitating your opponent. The objective matters, but I would say that outcomes matter just as much, if not 더 많이 so. The damage done to individuals is certainly not 더 많이 in dodgeball than it is in football, wrestling, 또는 even soccer, and that's despite each having some form of protective gear. 당신 could say there's some psychological harm, but does that harm exist if people are able to enter into it freely?

I didn't say there was any psychological harm. The only harm is being forced to be hit with balls. PE classes make tackle football mandatory, so being tackled is voluntary. Wrestling is also not mandatory in PE classes.

I'm not trying to 토론 well here, just so 당신 know. I'm just answering the question.

Alright, that's fine. We don't have to thave a deep conversation on this one, was just seeing if it was a sticking point for you.
