When the people who say that dodge ball is an inappropriate sport, they don't include the fact that so is baseball and soccer and basketball.
Dodge ball was banned from schools because of the so called "violence" of it. Yet they don't ban basketball which consists of taking a ball from others in a rough way. Or soccer which comes from kicking not only a ball but sliding and fouling your opponents.
Dodge ball, like any other sport, can be appropriate. It all comes from the way you play. The rules you enforce and the props you use. At a past elementary school, dodge ball was allowed, but was played with adult supervision and soft balls, not rubber.
To take away a sport of fun because of some inappropriate people playing them isn't fair. For the ones that take the necessary precautions to play a fun, yet safe game, are the responsible ones who deserve the joyful game of dodge ball.
Excellent job using shorter paragraphing. It's perfect for writing online, and definitely helps make your post more readable.
