Nothing says “I love you” like “stop playing kickball by our rules”

On Valentine’s Day, WAKA, the World Adult Kickball Association, celebrated the day of love by filing a lawsuit against DCKickball. The basis of WAKA’s claim is that DCKickball has infringed its copyrights by the unauthorized use of its kickball rules, such as the requirement that a team must be made up of at least 4 men and 4 women. DCKickball’s founder is also accused of defamation for referring to WAKA as “the Microsoft of kickball.”

Instead of fighting this out in litigation, wouldn’t it really make much more sense for WAKA and DCKickball to duke it out in a good ol’ fashioned game of bombardment? They can even use their own kickballs, so it’ll be nice and cheap!
