There was no safety issue.

There is nothing to be learned, for kids this age, in a game of this nature.

Again, this is assuming the picture you painted was more correct than not....
They were just boys being boys. I would imagine this is exactly what would go on on any middle school playground when the boys are just left to their own devices. Helter skelter play. There was plenty of fouling and lots of violations, but all the boys were having fun. Crazed, zany, large-crowd-fueled lunacy.
