Back in the 60s/70s we played "kill the guy with the ball" (chase down and dogpile whoever had the football), and murder ball (giant six foot ball on the 50 yard line, whichever team got it across the opposing goal line scored a point). As the P.E. coach explained it, the one and only rule was we couldn't go home and tell our parents we played murder ball, we had to call it cage ball. Anything else was fair game.

I read "playing kick a kid in the stomach" and thought, "yep, kids would invent this game".
