When dodgeball gets out of control, it's not any different from another poorly refereed game, he argues. More importantly, violence isn't the center of the sport's identity. That's where the tactics come in, he argues:. There's fellowship. There's coordination; there are roles on the team. The Michael Jordan of dodgeball— No one has claimed the title "Michael Jordan of dodgeball" but the Lebron James of dodgeball does exist.
That person is Vince Marchbanks. He's been called the Lebron James of dodgeball since The Wall Street Journal awarded him the title after he led his team to their third Championship at the Ultimate Dodgeball Championship in Marchbanks is one of the few dodgeballers to make news in the wider sports world thanks to a signature move that was featured on ESPN.
In a recreation game, Marchbanks fakes a throw, spins around, and throws out an opposing player from behind his back. On the women's side, Wysynski points to Katharina Wasinger, a world champion in cloth dodgeball, a version of the sport that's also overseen by the World Dodgeball Federation. He calls her "one of the top cloth players in Europe. The spirit of dodgeball — Dodgeball's governing body is aiming to redefine who actually excels at dodgeball.
They see it as a haven for people who just aren't into classic sports — the very people the critics of dodgeball seem to think it actively harms.
Or we've had people come from mainstream sport and decide they want something different," Wysynski says. Dodgeball's growth goals have been tailored to reflect that idea.

Although dodgeball is the focus of the left for the time being, Brean points out fault in many childhood games, proving them to be similarly problematic. The idea that a games used to get children to exercise, work as a team, have fun, and discover their athletic abilities is secretly training them to oppress those they deem weak is a stretch at the very least.
Dodgeball, along with many other physical and intellectual games, is centered around the construction of a balanced team that is capable to handle the task at hand: winning. This goal is impeded when cruelty, oppression and violence are built into the rules. Games become more like cruel initiation ceremonies into a brutal world in which might makes right.
There are many variations of it, but basicly, the strongest, most fit players brutally toss these big red rubber balls at the "weaker" players. Comrades, Dodgeball is without a doubt an invention of the capitalist to weed out he unwanted peoples. I agree, it should be banned, or at least turned into nothing more than a game of "toss", where no one is eliminated. The peoples feelings should not be hurt.
I would rather see them play a game of Red Rover without holding hands. Minister Andropov Comrades, Dodgeball is without a doubt an invention of the capitalist to weed out he unwanted peoples. Or how about basketball, where it's more "toss" than "basket".
Premier Betty I like that game! How can you call yourself a Progressive if you let social darwinism win? Karakter off Me too. Comrades, Might I suggest playing the game of "cup stacking".
We could level the playing field significantly by limiting the players to one cup only. This would eliminate the need for the harsh term of "loser" and everyone participating could earn an equal point in good citizenship!
In the likeness of that capitalist movie, "If you can dodge a T tank shell, you can dodge a ball. Fair for all, n'yet? Che Vrolet said "Comrades, we must ban this terrible sport, or at least play against Gulag prisoners, who get no balls.
I know Gulag prisoners are filled with people opposed to The Party, but let's have some fun with those OUTside of them. Comrade, you're on top of things, as usual.
These rethuglicans, who have been trying to oust us since the 50's, are really catching onto us. We must be vigilant! What would Lenin do?
Ha ha ha, n'yet. Che Vrolet Comrade, you're on top of things, as usual. What would Stalin do? I don't know, I wasn't alive during his glorious reign. I'd guess though he'd step up his round ups. Hey Che! Why don't we ask a fellow Inner Party Comrade? They have the answer. Just think of the poor children forced to play this game!
I have seen children with bruises from the impact, i have seen children with scrapes from being knocked down, I have seen them with ball-shaped dents in their foreheads I have seen them with no arms!!! All because of this What about a trip to the gulag for the older comrades, comrade My Name is Top Secret? You people have to much time on your hands and you should stop trying to destroy a game with values. Children need competition because without it children go into the world without accurate sense of reality.
Not to worry, WTF. Obama is not only remaking America. Now run along and don't bother me while I'm waiting for my Pollution Reduction Refund check from the government. WTF You people have to much time on your hands and you should stop trying to destroy a game with values.
Children need competition because without it children go into the world without accurate sense of reality I denounce WTF! Who will join me in convening the Show Trial? This is an outrage! Where is the link to ACLU? Where is Pup's Lawyer! This really makes my hair stand up, my back arch up, and hiss!
Calm down, groom little kitty, groom I thought we had a filter to keep such proles from our glorious articles. Sometimes the proles get through it seems. But they are so entertaining. Especially when you line them up against a wall riddled with bullet holes. Then the firing squad takes aim, and they usually wet themselves, and start screaming what a loyal party member they are, how they voted for Obama. Then you fire off a round of blanks and they collapse.
After that you get to laugh, take them back to their cell, and start calling around to Gulags to find one with an opening.
