We used to play a game called "Smear the Queer" in elementary school in the late 80s. Basically, there was one ball and whoever had it was "the queer." Everyone would chase/attack the one with the ball until someone could take it away, then he became the queer and we'd attack him. It was horribly homophobic (though I doubt any of us even knew what a gay person was) and not at all fun. No idea why we played it.
