You had to ask how "Tackle the Man With the Football" is played? The definition is the fricking name.

I said that "something else" term to a black dude when I was 16, on a school trip. He said, "What did you just say?" I replied, somewhat sheepishly, "Oh, I guess you wouldn't call it that. What do you call it?" He replied, "We just call it Ring and Run."

We did not talk much after that.

I had never heard the above named until about year 2006 or so (friends kids mentioned it), it was called something else in the 70s when we grew up

Thump the Trump

EDIT: I like Trump. I was doing what the left would be more likely to support when renaming game from smear the queer. They always approve of attacking Trump.

By "they" are you referring to kids? At the end of flag football practice, my son's team plays it and I don't think they call it anything.

Yes all of the time. It was almost as fun as playing on a football team in a game.

The queer part came in when someone would purposely fumble to avoid the hit.


That’s what we always thought.

as kids we used to play during Friday night high school football games on the patch of grass behind the home stands. Always tried to look tough and show out as the high school team walked to the locker room good times

One time one of the weird girls in our grade tried to steal the ball and run away. Well, a few of the boys thought she wanted to play, caught up to her and tackled her hard. She started crying, mom came out and was pissed off off. The boys said something like “girl shouldn’t try to play with us”
