Quote:So what should the game be named?  Apparently "smear the queer" is not a PC name for the game.  "Tackle-Loco" is not PC either as "loco" is a term in Spanish for "crazy" or even "[BLEEP]".

 

I played the game as a youngster, and yes it hurt at times.  Yes I got bumps and bruises, but you know what?  I played the game on my own free will.  I was a smaller kid and didn't feel that I was "fed the ball" just so the bigger kids could "bully" me.  As of matter of fact, I always went for the ball because I was smaller, shiftier and faster than many of the other kids.

 

To say that playing this game was a "bullying tactic" is not very accurate.

Care to read my post again and tell me how screaming out, "SMEAR THE [BAD WORD REMOVED] QUEER!" as you body-slam someone to the ground with the intent to injure them is not a bullying tactic?

 

Playing tackleloco and just generally beating the crap out of everyone equally is not bullying, but when it's a targeted attack on someone, regardless of whether there's a game of catch involved or just finding someone in the locker room, screaming "QUEER!" and slamming them face-first into a locker, it is absolutely bullying, and those participating are pieces of [BAD WORD REMOVED].
