It’s called “The Dumbing of America” Kind of being led by example right now It is "The dumbing of America" when folks get worked up over a new version of a game. You and I just disagree over who's being dumbed down.

It’s called “The Dumbing of America” Kind of being led by example right now Why is it “The Dumbing of America” to introduce a new version of an old game? It did not replace the game, just offered an option that is more social oriented rather than competitive. Social interaction used to be considered a good thing. The dummies are the fools bitching about a board game. Get a life.

My kids are Gen Z, they have no problem crushing your soul, talking shit, and winning. Always helps putting a quarter on it. The amount of shit talk during cornhole should be recorded. I have never understood the cornhole thing? We pitched horseshoes. But I guess that’s considered to dangerous today?😂 Kinda like the original lawn jart

They haven't gotten rid of Scrabble or replaced it. Mattel simply introduced a new version called Scrabble Together. It has original scrabble on one side and the new game on the other. You can play either way that suits your fancy. Why people get worked up over a silly board game is beyond me. Not sure anyone is getting worked up. I suppose that may be 1/2 the issue with you guys

Sounds like some people are upset about it.

Seems like folks really go out of their way to find things that piss them off. Scrabble bringing out a new version affects my life zilch. agreed, good move by marketing, lots of free publicity. who gives a shit.

Next week it'll be that M&Ms aren't sexy anymore. Oh wait, never mind. Is it too soon for the war on Xmas?
