New York politicians came dangerously close to passing a ball that would deem popular children's games like wiffle ball, kick ball, red rover and tag too dangerous for day camp goers. These games are deemed risky of significant injury.
Many were angered over the attempt to regulat beloved games. Republican Patricia Ritchie stated "It's overregulation by the state of things that have been around for years and years."
Personally, I think its ridiculous and outrageous. Any kid that doesn't live in a box has played one if not all of these games and they only bettered them. You know what these games are called? EXCERCISE! What ever happened to getting out and doing something? Apparently the democrats of New York would rather be fat and lazy. Play hard or don't play at all in my opinion. My cousin is the only person I have ever seen get hurt by a wiffle ball, and that's just because he got his finger stuck in one of the holes.

I have to agree with you in saying that this is ridiculous. Although i was not really good at these games i still enjoyed playing them. That just goes to show why we have childhood obesity problems
