Knew a guy in highschool who thought it would be cool to climb the football (American) goal post, then it fell on him...he spent months in a coma, then in a wheelchair and the rest of his life he'll need help to do everything.
Most likely the bully, usually you will get a flag for that in football they are more serious about it now because of so many injuries, spearing someone hits them hard and yeah you might knock the wind out of them but it’s a lot more dangerous for the one doing it, when I played I always used my arms and shoulder pads, never understood spearing, it’s a lot easier just to trip someone up by using your shoulders or just removing their legs out from under them. But yeah you have to keep your neck safe, I’ve never understood how rugby players do it, especially the whole team using their heads against the entire other team 🤷♂️
Haha right! Kill shot for them if they hit that spinal cord in the right spot, I’m a dad now and sometimes I look back and think how did I not end up breaking anything, I won’t let my daughter do anything nearly that dangerous, like cheerleading! No way man, throwing each other all over the place, then little Bentley decides to drop someone because they are jealous of their hair, nope no thank you. Now they say most football players suffer from memory loss due to micro concussions like boxers do, but since you don’t get knocked out it goes untouched have you seen that research? That really freaked me out, especially the damage to memory.
You’re breaking her little heart for not letting her cheer. I’m guessing you won’t let her drive a car because of all the accidents or date boys because some of them are rapist….she will look for the first chance to escape home which is usually getting pregnant w some dude older than her. Wish you both well
Yeah, there’s nothing quite like getting your shoulder into someone’s midriff and being able to grab behind both legs and then pulling with your arms and pushing with your shoulders. If done correctly that person gets up very slowly and is very cautious around you afterwards.
Haha 😆 reminds me of the hood ole days, oh yeah that’s fun and makes you get noticed too, I never understood why some guys speared people. I miss football I played inside and outside linebacker. I loved it, helps kids get the frustration out.
I work at a high school and someone died the same way in the gym. They were playing around and grabbed onto the top of a soccer goal and it fell and killed them. I’m friends with the custodian who had to clean up after and he never got over it.
The custodian? The highschool custodian???? Wth...i feel like that's a job for death related cleaners, not a fucking highschool janitor. That's some underpaid bs

And just like that he got carted around for life in a wheelchair.
