Time for BSA to prohibit soccer

[qwazse 4342]

The sad thing is that goals have gotten heavier over the years so that folks wouldn't have to worry about the hassle of anchoring them. They are movable so that the same field can be used for football as well.

 

Think about it. Would anyone ever insist on a mobile backstop so a baseball field could be dual use?

 

And yes, the BSA should require boys to learn the basics of safety for whatever sport they play. If they now need to know to anchor goals before they run out on the field, so be it. It's no different than when we explain safe swim areas to cubs. They may not have the skills to set it up, but if they are all taught, then hopefully one of them will pipe up when they see something amiss.
