Why, yes, we DO live in a time when there's a controversy over whether dodgeball is a benign children's sport or a tool for bullying and oppression. At least some research claims the latter. Look, I got bullied plenty as a sensitive kid, but even I didn't have much of a problem with dodgeball, which was actually kind of an equalizer; if you just hung back towards the wall and scrambled around behind the more aggressive kids, you could actually last fairly long into the game. This bullying, unathletic victim actually enjoyed when the gym teacher announced that it would be a dodgeball day. (KMGH-TV/Denver)
