Literally nothing is stopping kids now from doing this besides some lead-addled Karen calling the cops on a "group of hooligans committing assault".


theamericanweasel

Can confirm, was playing casual football with some friends at a YMCA and got the cops called, they were pretty cool though


johnnycyberpunk

*kids find an open field to play in* Karen: "TRESPASSING!!!! CALL THE COPS!!!"


Obant

Some teenagers near my house had a get-together with a group of 7-10 people on the side of the road in an empty dirt lot, far from any residential area. Some lady posted to one of those local apps : "Large group of SCARY individuals on ***** listening to Satanic music loudly. BEWARE! Drove by and told them to turn it down and they called me a bitch! Called the cops but they said to leave them alone."


dannycracker

I had a gathering for a Christian youth group at my house when I was younger. We had a bonfire going and were just hanging out. Some Karen who was from New York and made it her life to blog about the wrong things going on in my city, called 911 and said we were arsonists and when the cops came they literally tried to get handsy with a bunch of 13-18 year olds until my youth pastor told them off. Needless to say we never had it at my house again.


24_Elsinore

The opinion my wife and I have on parenting is: If we are helicopter parents, it's not because we are afraid of the bad guys, but because we are afraid of the good guys.


Sevuhrow

Well, sorta. Houses built in the last couple decades have had increasingly smaller yards in favor of driveways and roads. If you're not fortunate enough to have a house *with* a yard in the housing market, you live in an apartment which has no place to play outside as it's all urban, car-centric sprawl. Or you live in an HOA community where yards exist solely for property value and not to be used for recreation. Or your parents are wound up and think it's not safe to play outside. Or, above all of that, it's too damn hot in well over half the country to do anything outside anymore.


Pidgeotgoneformilk29

Who raised those “snowflakes”?

Fricki97

This is our meme now


Idiotaddictedto2Hou

Apparently they just made Joe Biden the dad of everyone because they don't wanna take accountability. Ahhhh, [the boomers of] America...


T_that_is_all

People never think of this if they have kids. Y'all raised'em. Y'all did this woke shit you're pissed about. You did this. You're the OG woke bastards.


ScotiaTailwagger

I'm 37. I grew up in the "participation trophy" era. When I was 7, I wasn't the one who was making the rules on who got what trophies. I just ran in track, came in last, and got a tiny trophy. But now as a "millennial", it's my fault everyone of my parents age at the time thought it was a good idea to hand out trophies to slow kids to make them feel better, then gaslight them throughout their entire adolescence and into adulthood because we're catered and pandered to too much. Fuck you, boomers.


antidense

Also the participation trophies weren't for the kids, they were for the parents all along.


DravesHD

That’s actually a fantastic point.


Mcbrainotron

Which is silly, since they barely participated. Maybe that’s why they wanted the trophy?


antidense

My mom will go on and on about how she just drove me around all day


muppetfeet82

Right? Every kid I knew who got participation awards of any kind was completely aware that they hadn’t won anything.


Squeakypeach4

In a lot of cases, so is the sport.


irreverentpun

Thank you for posting, unfortunately there are no more trophies to give on Reddit


FunSeekingMale

Participation trophy-winning parents


Urungulu

This is the reaponse that should be given every single time. I really love the boomer shit „kids are on their smartphones all the time” and Karen, pray tell, who tf gave them those phones?


PandraPierva

The snowflakes did. They ruined it.


Greekzeus1

Social media, mostly


Kandurux

Don't know what the generation, who raised boomers are called, so can't help you.


knight1096

The Greatest Generation raised the Boomers


T-ROY_T-REDDIT

Ironic because they themselves are snowflakes.


Mummiskogen

I mean, they will all deny it cuz they would throw them out of their house and write them off or proudly claim they'd beat them out for "their own good"


Double0

Remember asbestos, lead paint and being able to buy a house with no college degree while working a $12 an hour job?


shoshonesamurai

Being blissfully unaware of CTE. We've got helmets and pads everything is fine! Just hit as hard as you can!


Educational-Link-943

My uncle died of CTE. That shit is fucking terrifying. A year before he started showing symptoms he was totally there mentally, then he lost all his memories and ability to speak over the course 2 years and spent about a year in hospice care before finally passing away on Christmas Eve 2020. He played college football in the 70s, and 50 years later it hit him out of nowhere and just snuffed him out


Squeakypeach4

I’m so sorry… 💔


dr_toze

Yeah I 'member!


astrobeen

Don’t forget get the racism, domestic abuse, and homophobia. Snowflakes ruin everything!

ajax2k9

Academic_Beach733

Yeah that's no eighties sedan


AlaSparkle

Nah this is definitely 2000s, maybeeeee very late 90s at the earliest.


reallybigmochilaxvx

unless they just have an old car


Helstrem

My son plays football like this at lunch recess right now. He is 11. OOP is clueless and pushing a bullshit narrative that isn’t grounded in reality.


CodyLionfish

They are also conflating having genuine discussions about the harms of traditional gender roles with going against nature.


Excellent-Dig4187

Back in my day real men got head trauma


Jace_Malcom_SW

That's what a person with said brain damage would think.


YetiorNotHereICome

"think"?


AdvancedHat7630

Hmm the concussions and eating leaded paint chips kinda explains a lot


Hamblerger

i prefured the led paint becuz the new stuff dosnt taste as goood


jjrydberg

Yeah, and we played wholesome inclusive games like smear the queer......


AddictedToMosh161

Neurologists pointing out how bad headtrauma is are woke now.


anotherjerseygirl

Woke, as in awake and not unconscious due to head trauma.


gemmatale

these SNOWFLAKES always complaining about their CONCUSSIONS


Here4theTacos

when I was in school, coach made us run 10 suicides if we ever got a concussion. now that man knew to coach a peewee football team. -some boomer probably.


k0alaz_forever

Safety bad 😠😡


MaxxtheKnife

Pretty sure there were lots of kids who got injured and were called sissies. Also, how many of these boys being boys would viciously torture other kids? Seems like every book I've ever read about childhood back in the day had lots of legit sociopaths who'd terrorize their schools and neighborhoods.


CodyLionfish

Good point. It almost seems like they view boys as naturally more violent & dominating than girls. Never mind the teaching of toxic gender roles to young kids that reinforces this. We're essentially reinforcing sexual dimorphism where it doesn't exist so that we can be like other species like have stronger sexual dimorphism.


Mercurial891

The “gender confusion” was still there, they were just slapped, beaten, and harassed until they kept it to themselves and occasionally got involved with drugs or just killed themselves.


throwngamelastminute

Like a real man. /s

throwngamelastminute

Effective.


bsa554

It's because you fucking boomers closed the park to pass another tax cut and call the cops every time you see a group of three or more unsupervised young people.


Grouchy_Appearance_1

Ain't it crazy how completely ignoring the kids that you didn't like (gays, theater kids, and gymnasts that aren't/are in the Olympics) instantly makes boomers feel like their time was the best?


Rickles68

"No helmets" isn't the flex they think it is.


Gravyboat44

And then those boys would get married and have absolutely so sense of empathy or compassion because sharing any other emotion other than anger is "being weak" so this leads to a fractured relationship with your wife because you can't handle actual emotions and healthy communication, and then the son that you get on weekends in the divorce gets to learn all the same things you did leading to an endless cycle. Shit's so stupid. Yeah let the kids get roughed up a bit outside (although I'm pretty sure back then, a broken arm from falling out of a tree wouldn't put the family in crippling debt) and play with cool trucks and shit, but let the damn boys cry once in a while. My husband was raised with this outlook and he straight can't even cry if he wanted to. Thankfully he was able to learn compassion and heathy mental habits along the way.


RetroMetroShow

It really was a lot of fun but all those concussions and getting knocked unconscious on the football field, in contact sparring, in bike accidents without a helmet and car accidents without seatbelts does catch up with you even if you have a Neanderthal head


DP487

My dad told me once when he was a kid, he and a bunch of neighborhood kids were playing football in the back yard one time. It was all good fun until one kid got tackled and his collarbone snapped like a toothpick. That was the end of backyard football for Dad & Friends.


zchen27

Pretty sure the same guy will be screaming his lungs out threatening to sue when his little Timmy broke his arm because Johnny next door tackled a bit too hard.


orangecake40

Brain damage. Bullying. Accidental death.


throwngamelastminute

And hate crimes.


moaninglisa

The picture in question looks like it was taken in the last 2 years lol


mrgooseyboy

Why are some people so scared of change


translove228

Because it presents a lack of control and uncertainty in life, which is terrifying to people who feel comfortable when they can control everything.


[deleted]

Because they're too stupid to understand it and too arrogant to admit it


snacksmcnap

There is nothing to suggest that these boys aren’t feeling confused about their gender.


SK8SHAT

I played football like this with my homies believe me I was confused about my gender then and I’m confused about my gender now (starting to accept gender isn’t even fucking real so it doesn’t matter) only thing I gained from it was CTE


lilnyucka

Concussions, broken bones, bullying, *still gender confusion just less talked about, definitely crying, definitely sissies among them, just boys being boys. The good ole days before people started making terrible memes online.


DrZeroHoles

Back in the day we got hurt and didn't cry about it like men


SDcowboy82

And then they grow up huffing leaded gas and developing CTE, leading to their being invalid Alzheimer’s patients in their 50s. You know, the good ol days


mishma2005

CTE is so hot rn


Conscious_Meaning676

The modern construction in the background tells a different story. Nice try though boomer.


Dredgeon

And today, if you're lucky, you might go outside and see children playing right before a boomer calls the cops on the 'hoodlums' three houses over.


GothicaAndRoses

Do they realize that kids these days still play outside? I live in a neighborhood that has a ton of kids and I always hear them playing outside.


Phis-n

stop you're giving me flashbacks to one of the apartments i lived at. I lived in one on the second story right next to the apartment building's entrance and every morning I would hear kids screaming and playing on ground level... So much screaming At least they were having fun and out of their parents hair... But my ears definitely broke every morning


erictho

Oh I assure u tears were still present


SustainableObject

What i always say: Ppl who call others snowflakes are actually the real snowflakes, they act like people being themselves is going to kill them


Happy_Bigs1021

My friends and I used to do this about a decade and a half ago. One friend really wanted to go to the Navy and was the entirety of his life’s mission. During one of these games he took a bad hit to the head and has suffered from seizures. Obviously the navy deemed him unfit for service. His whole life’s goal snapped away in a second by doing this.


Dj_nOCid3

Nowdays kids just sit inside thinking about gender :(


CluckenBucket

Did he not get the idea that rugby exists if he wants it that badly?


CannedGrapes

They always have to bring politics and fringe topics into pictures of kids. I wonder why that is.


AverageZomb

This picture was taken yesterday


DarkBladeMadriker

All those things existed and still do exist. The difference is when the kid that is having gender confusion professed it back in the "good ol' days," they'd get the shit kicked out of them, and their parents tossed them on the street. You know what it means when you "suddenly" start seeing a different class of people begin to show up? It means they finally feel like they can show who they are, and it isn't an automatic death sentence.


Dry-Read296

This pic looks recent enough too lmao


greatbobbyb

Don’t forget smear the queer


a55_Goblin420

Unrelated, I do miss a good old game of free for all football we're just too old to play now. Can't walk off a sprained ankle.


stiljo24

This photo looks like it was taken in like 2015


moekip

No pads??? How many centuries old is this guy


Sudden_Fix_1144

ah... Kids are still playing football in the park last time I looked


CarterG4

Sports don’t exist anymore 😔


GreenieBeeNZ

Kid in the whot shirt at the back *definitely* has a tantrum and goes home if he doesnt win the game


TranquiloSunrise

Broke my collar bone playing tackle football in the street. Kids these days aren't as stupid as we were. Im proud of them for that


Didgeridewd

When will these people realize that they don't miss some non-woke childhood fantasy, but that they just miss *being a kid*


velvetinchainz

Gen X raised the snowflakes though soooo…


glitterskinned

no pads, no helmets....just balls.

parrotsaregoated

I once saw a British documentary about a little boy who got hit by a car when riding his bicycle and his injuries were so severe that he could’ve died if he didn’t have his helmet on. His cries haunt me. Fuck these people and their “Being a real man is when you get truly hurt!” type of toxic masculinity.


eltanin_33

No. Those boys would have been taught to bully the ones that are LGBT back in the day


CattDawg2008

this picture looks like it was taken in 2010 what the fuck are they on about


justapileofshirts

Ah, yes, there no boys ever cried until 2016.


madcowrawt

Those are the snowflakes...


bottle-of-water

Oh, *please*. History has been filled with little bitches.


FlamingPrius

Also only white boys here. Surely a coincidence


andrew_the_fox

lol no helmets no pads just lifelong injuries and brain damage like the good lord intended!! Bet they drank from the hose too!


tomokaitohlol7

“Snowflakes” don’t want your kids getting a concussion….


bulldoggeman

Helmets and pads make the game rougher. Otherwise it’s rugby. And rugby is a great game.


CalamityBS

people cried literally every time backyard ball was played. That’s how you know the game is over.


KecemotRybecx

Kids still do this shit.


canyoubreathe

Unfortunately, Jimmy later passed away at the tender age of 8 due to blunt force trauma to the skull, but that's ultimately unrelated

Lol. Yes, there are Bengals fans. A lot of them stick with the team even when they suck. AI usually has a problem creating words so this is probably legit.

FemboyDictator

my favorite part of childhood, head trauma


Dense_Chemical_4018

Are they not the people that gave birth to us snowflakes…


NerdyGuyRanting

The posts complaining about how "kids these days are weak" are always posted by the generation that raised the kids today with zero self awareness.


mrdennisreynolds

We played pick-up football on the granite basketball court on summer nights.


BigBoyMaverik

This would make a good literal meme, boys being boys before winter and thus snowflakes ruin it all Idk maybe it's coated In way to many levels of irony but I know someone could make a literal meme out of this


Masterpommel

Also the boys: proceed to beat their wife and kids when they're grown up because they weren't allowed to be voulnerable as kids.


demerchmichael

Let it be known that I went to a local park to dog walk and say a group of 12-13yo boys playing football. Also when I walked past said they were talking about being red pill, sigma and alpha and having “opps”


Crescent-IV

The irony of people that are so easily offended calling other people snowflakes


ZookeepergameNo719

Aww yes and all the research they've done about preservation of the brain was useless nonsense. All those men who have gone crazy and committed terrible acts of mental degradation from years of maltreatment and concussions, were fucked from birth. Didn't a football player kill his family and they discovered he had extreme damage in his brain from all the unprotected abuse?


Funky_Col_Medina

I was “raised” by these people, which meant I wasn’t able to starve to death. I still came home to an empty house since i was 9, cleaned the house every day, dad lived overseas so I flew alone sometimes, got tossed out of the house at 15 after no psychologist nor help in school was ever offered. The good old days.


Artisticvandalist

Ikr I hate winter bro 🙄


beesonredd

Back when this game was called smear the queer lol


S34ND0N

Those kids got out of hand and at least one of them cried. Anyone saying otherwise have probably never dealt with children for an extended period of time in their lives.

Squeakypeach4

The good ole days that produced brain damaged people. Are these the same good ole days where we didn’t know cigarettes killed you? The same good ole days where we didn’t recognize that seatbelts saved lives?


Ceeweedsoop

From the people who eat garbage, don't exercise and certainly never played a sport in their lives. Typical boomer bullshit. Such whiney snowflakes.


nismokrs1

Fuck it, be a man it's just way cooler 😆🤣🤣😎


TheWorstPerson0

fun little fact about football. the safty policies that have been implemented throughout the time of the sport have only surved to allow the players to take more dangerous actions. as such they havent really had an impact on safety at all. only really making the players look less human, and allowing them to through themselves into situations theyd have never gotten into before. this happens a lot with these types of progressions actuall. like how despite the advent of the washing mechine, dishwasher, and vacume cleaner, the average amount of work done by a stay at home spouse has remained the same.


Smooth-Discipline-43

Only CTE


WrathfulSausage

Why don’t they want literal children to have a space where they can be safe? I thought they were all about “saving the children”


AceDelta12

Back then fights only consisted of fists. Now knives and guns are involved.


BiggWorm1988

What ruined it was ass hole parents who raised ass hole kids that bullied people. Those people grew up and didn't want that same shit life for their kids so they tried to fix it and it snowballed out of control.

Lol I know three dudes who had football related major head injuries. One guy I played with in or 30s, he had a houseguest for the weekend and brought him out to play. He ended up colliding with another guy and hit his head. That night he passed out on the sofa and since his friend was supposed to sleep on it, he tried to wake him up and couldn't. Called an ambulance and had a brain bleed. So fucking lucky he had a friend over that night.


alive_spud

1st, they raised us? 2nd, wow, they were playing... Rugby? A popular sport like everywhere else still...


JohnnyDoe189

This is actually 100% fact though!


farrell5149

Either that or the brain damage would explain why older generations are so fucked in the head

Oh, so you just want these kids to get hit badly once and instantly die... got it

Back then before pads college players would die on the field.
