The irony is I think most of us had no idea what a real queer was. In our world he was the guy with balls big enough and/or lacking in sufficient gray matter to realize there was no way he could keep the football and avoid getting smashed under a dog pile of 20 or 30 fellow third graders. Good times. Make smear the queer great again!
We played a modified version where the 5th graders would play the 6th graders. So before the entire 6th grade piled on, you'd chuck it to another 5th grader to take the beating. The 90 player scrums were epic when the pass ended up on the ground. And we didn't play any of that pussy on-grass version - this was on blacktop. TuffSkins and the palms of hands took a beating on that playing surface.
I am aware of one girl from each grade who ended up going lesbo (hot lesbo, not butch) and both also played at the D1 level. One of the gals used to knock the shit out of the boys like she was Jack Tatum.
Smear the queer did not discriminate on sex or color.

The only thing Toughskins were good for is banister sliding. That poly cotton blend made them slick as hell. For everything else they sucked but we were poor so it was either those or nothing. I went to Elementary school in Seattle, STQ wasn't for the weak. Played it out on the asphalt playground at West Woodland Elementary and there wasn't a day where at least one kid ended up bloody. There is no way in hell they'd still let the kids play that game today.
Where would you peg the year they stopped kids from playing STQ?

I gotta guess somewhere in the mid- to late-80's. That was past my STQ time as I was already banging sorority girls and indulging in mind altering substances at that point.
Well, the mind altering substance part is true any way.
STQ on fucking blacktop? That's scary TUFF. I don't know if I want to poast here anymore. Grass only in Salt Lake. Maybe that explains why we weren't part of the Pac-8.

We didn't even have full on blacktop - half the playground was dirt and rocks. You did not want to get smeared on the rock/dirt section. I still have scars on my palms and knee caps from where i had to pick the rocks out.

I played on perfectly manicured Bermuda grass on 75 degree Southern California days.

I'm fourth of five sons and understood the value of pants was to keep you knees from bleeding on the blacktop. Toughskins were the shit since they kept the rich girls away from you.

Tough skins kept your knees from bending and yes bleeding. Youngest of 5 boys and there was no way in hell mom was going to pay for a pair of Levi’s that were going to wear out or get torn up in a few weeks.
If you wanted Levi’s or a pair of shoes that weren’t purchased from Kenny’s, You had to pay for them yourself

It was in the 90's while I was in school. We still would sneak out to the back playground and create a wall of kids so that a group could still play.
Relatedly it was also when they started expelling kids for even defending themselves in a fight. That was when we started settling stuff in the 711 parking lot off Warner.
I instructed my kids that they were never allowed to start a fight. Unacceptable. But if attacked they were to finish the fight and win. Always to defend themselves and those that couldn't defend themselves. I'd deal with the school and there would be no punishment from me.
