Why are we a society of wimps now? There can't be competition anymore because someones feelings will get hurt, so everyone gets a trophy, and now a ban on hard balls for recreational sports!? I get that a child's safety is of importance, but we've survived this long with minimal injuries using hard balls, and it's much harder to go from soft balls to hard balls later in life while playing in organized sports. I feel like this is going to discourage kids from wanting to play sports and be active. Do you agree that we are becoming a nation of wimps?
What is wrong with America? A Long Island middle school bans footballs, other recreational items?
