Even though this takes place in 1990 this shows how much more violent society has become. When I was in school in the 60s we weren’t allowed to play tackle or contact football until high school. We as 8-year-olds could play tag football, where we stuck little cloth tags or flags as they were called into our waist pants, hanging out about a foot, and the opposing team could grab it and thus achieve a ‘tackle’. Saved the little kids from getting injured like broken bones. Come to think of it no kid ever took a gun to school and started shooting either. Gentler times.
