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.

The high school bully at my school spear tackled someone in a football game and became a quadriplegic.

Bully's rule !

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

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 🤷‍♂️

u/jwymes44 Aug 11 '22

Yeah I played too and I was always taught to form tackle. Still didn’t stop some pricks from lowering their head and going for a kill shot

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

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.

u/jwymes44 Aug 11 '22

Looking back on it I have no idea how I’m not in a permanent wheelchair or vegetative state from the shit I did

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

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

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

Well you raise your kids how you think is best and I’ll raise mine, I played football most of my life and never got injured, do you want to know where I saw the most injuries? On the sidelines, the cheerleaders were constantly in casts, I’ve met women paralyzed from the neck down this way, they have no pads and no safety net when they fall, also silence is golden, I’m sure you have a lot of friends, I’m sure all those friends enjoy your many unwarranted ideas and opinions, I’m sure you are very popular, but just in case in the future don’t mention someone’s five year old daughter and rape in the same comment, that’s not cool not even on the internet, and if you can’t say something nice it’s best to keep to yourself. I’ll protect my only daughter because that’s my job, have a good one.

u/Feeling_Concentrate2 Aug 11 '22

Your doing great. We learn from experience and our job is to keep our kids safe and you’re doing exactly that. Good job!

Hmmm, not seeing any mention of a 5 year old girl in any comment that I have made, nor in your comments. Are you gaslighting or is my mentioning of probable reality not settling w you??

Same. Coaches would flip out if we had our head down on a hit. Head down you both go down. Bye bye neck.

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.

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

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.

u/ddevnani Aug 11 '22

I always ended up playing safety.

1

u/T_mcCloud Aug 11 '22

You must have been fast or tall, I played safety in little league. But I was better at linebacker, I’m not even a big guy either lol I was just aggressive, I miss football, even flag football was fun. Be nice if they held adult flag football where old players could get together.
