Why were people thinner in the 1970s?

Oh, sorry! As I recall, there was a mcguffin object, usually a football of either sort, and everyone who didn’t have the ball fought to get it. So you’d run like a maniac shrieking hysterical laughter as twenty other kids chased you down, tackled you, and wrestled the ball away (with elbows and fists flying but no biting or kicking) then whoever managed to get the ball would dash off in turn, until everyone was too bruised and exhausted to continue.

So - football in fact. The original(s), that is.

A rough but very fun game, and in practice not as rough as touch football by any means.

I think you were playing at least one of those games wrong if that’s true.
