A recent social media post about dodgeball was an all-too-familiar attempt to validate the game as credible physical education content. It was evident by the many replies and comments to the post, that many in our profession are (a) still playing this "hall-of-shame" game; (b) think that all students love it; (c) believe it is teaching some kind of life skill; and (d) if we don't play it, we are making kids "soft". Dodgeball has been in the mock "physical education hall of shame" for over 20 years. How is this still a go-to for so many in our profession? Additionally, why do so many in our profession continue to defend the game with conviction and shame those who oppose it?
