“Back in my day, it was a game of dodgeball where you found out who really didn’t like you” is a saying that has been printed on many images. A person who didn’t like you would try to throw the ball at you with great force to get you out of the game—and possibly hurt.

Wikipedia: Dodgeball
Dodgeball is a team sport in which players on two teams try to throw balls and hit opponents, while avoiding being hit themselves. The objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by an opponent, or inducing an opponent to commit a violation, such as stepping outside the court.
