THE STATE HAS CHANGED ITS PLANS - THE KIDS GET TO PLAY (FoxNews.com)
But let's not let the kids play. Everybody is ranting about how obese America's children are. There are lawsuits against McDonald's for unfairly using toys to lure chilren into restaurants. Yet now, the state of New York wants to legislate fun and maybe take away instead of promote activity for kids.
"The New York State Department of Health created the list of risky recreational activities." This list includes such scary things as Dodgeball, Flag Football, Kickball, Red Rover, Tag (all varieties) and Wiffle Ball. Any one of these "poses a significant risk of injury" according to lawmakers in Albany. (FoxNews.com)
So, the kids should just stay at home and play video games, or something else. Although the risk of carpal tunnel is there. And technically the games are not banned at camps, but they come at a play-at-your-own-risk cost. The state then can charge camps $200 registration fees if they allow the kids to play a deadly game of Red Rover.
So, maybe it is a money issue more than a playing issue.
