School Bans Tag Because Apparently Nothing Is Sacred Anymore

Some of my best memories from primary school are of me and my friends running around, playing tig (or tag, it depends where you're from).

Sadly, Christ the King School, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, has decided to play their own game of 'fun police' and completely ruin everyone's childhoods over fears of 'torn clothes'.

Oh, come on. First of all, how hard are you playing tig for that to be an issue. Secondly, I'm pretty sure you can get a new school shirt for 50p in Tescos so everyone needs to clm the fuck down.

According to the Metro, a child who attends the school said, "If you get caught playing tig then you'll get sent inside and miss your break time."

Head teacher Neil Ryan said: "We've had a few instances recently of children being upset and having clothes torn during games of tig. As a temporary measure, we have decided to ask pupils not to play tig in our small playground for now.

"Once the weather improves and the larger school field is available to use, the children will be able to play tig again."
