man this sucks bulldog used to be the best shit
I remember playing that game in school, it was so much fun! Here's to hoping an unfortunate accident won't give way to hyperbole and stop kids from enjoying themselves.
Shit.... I feel really bad after reading that. Poor kid.
bulldog was awesome like "tag" but hardcore but man a liver injury from a collision? that's just plain bad luck
the best game it was just like a structured fight
What's a railway sleeper? She basically got knocked over and fell onto something?
Holy shit, we played that during PE all the time, that game is fucking awesome!
I played this whilst drunk with ~20 other people who were also drunk. It's fun, but you wake up the next day in severe pain.
Nice to see this still being played in Schools, I'm only 23 but we used to play it too.
I got a concussion playing this in school
so this is like a weird mix of tag and american football?
Damn I remember this game, never played with anyone fucked up enough to kill a kid though
[QUOTE=lebsta;42755964]Damn I remember this game, never played with anyone fucked up enough to kill a kid though[/QUOTE] it was an accident, someone was knocked down and killed by a freak injury
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42755872]What's a railway sleeper?

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42755872]What's a railway sleeper? She basically got knocked over and fell onto something?[/QUOTE] I was really confused at first. In the US, railway sleepers are railroad ties
[QUOTE=Ruski v2.0;42755852]t [B]it was just like a structured fight[/B][/QUOTE] Reminds me of a "game" that the boys in our class would play. There were about 8-10 of us, we'd jam ourself into the toilet. Turn off the lights. And beat the shit out of each other. We called it "Toa-fight", "Toilet-Fight" in English.
bulldog was banned in my primary school so we just started calling it tag and none of the teachers cared it was great until Rowan got hit in the dick and cried to a teacher about it and got it banned fucking Rowan
[QUOTE=TheHydra;42755940]so this is like a weird mix of tag and american football?[/QUOTE] It's kind of like running across a minefield, except the mines can chase you and tackle you, and they exponentially increased until the last person standing is really fucked. You do not want to be the last person standing in bulldog. In this case though its not even because of the game itself that she got injured and died. I feel really sorry for the kid that ran into her.
Finland's got the best name for this game. Or did when I was young. Directly translated it would be "Who's afraid of the black man?" :v: I heard it's "Who's afraid of the octopus?" now though, my 13-year-old sister told me.
We just called it chase, it was the best game ever.
Used to play bulldog at school, it was super fun, until some kid broke his wrist and they banned it.
So its like full contact sharks and minnows?

Primary School mind you.
We used to play this in my old school. Except instead of human "Bulldogs" we used leopards.
What a poor kid. We used to play this on the school field, but it was more like a game of rugby without a ball and this huge Iranian kid always wanted to be "it".
I feel sorry for the kid as it is just the worst luck and nothing more, but watch as this sparks a ban on the game in case it happens again.
My primary school banned tag (we called it... 'it') as well. Fucking hell.
