Yep, broke my ankle playing it during recess the morning of the Bush/Gore presidential election.
Our elementary school tried to ban it after a gruesome femur fracture. It just seemed to become more popular.
They wanted us to play touch or tag, which ruins the fun.

Far worse than the tackle. I damn near suffocated a couple of times.

my son came in the other day and said he had been playing "Tackle the Man With the Football"...
I haven’t heard this one. The only other thing I’ve heard it called was “kill the man with the ball”

We played that in 5th-7th grade. We couldn’t play in 8th grade because one of the girls wanted to play with us and sure enough she broke her arm and we couldn’t play it anymore.

They probably call it "Hate the Straight" now

Played it nearly everyday, we also called it “pick it up get busted”

Could have been something like that. I went to Catholic school so maybe we made it sound a little less harsh.
We did play a lot on blacktops but didn’t give a frick.

You seem to be obsessed with penis. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

We knew it as "Kill the man with the ball"

My dear mother, a very proper and pious woman, tried to convince me, as a 3rd grader in 1979, that this was a better name for it…….I said ok, but at school the next day tried to convince none of my friends we should change the name…..

That's a different game. We called it "hide the pickle".
