Why are people so fucking frail?

I have been playing football for 4 years now, plan to do it for as long as possible. In my time, on average, one person gets hurt a game. Some kids on my team, who are huge and jacked and not frail looking one bit..get hurt like once every other game. I've had my hands stepped on, been punched in the nose. Had my chinstrap almost break my nose, but I've never taken a knee.


I don't see how people get hurt so easily? I mean, what the fuck? How are you so frail?

won't go to the point of wishing you an injury, but if a good guy could be saved one to give it to you, i'd be all for it. I was skiing 2 years ago and while reverting, i cut an edge in slush and broke my collar bone. I mean, I like fucking reverted and then fell, and my collar bone broke. im fucking weak, its not badluck...of course not...

People get hurt. There were kids on my football team who were skinny as shit and never missed a practice. Others were really well trained and in great shape, and seemed to be missing practices/games every second week. Some people are just injury prone. Just depends on the person. I for example don't bruise at all or break bones despite taking helmets straight to the ribs. A friend of mine had his knee fully hyperextended, and I thought he blew his knee, but one series later he was running around again. And you must not play as physically as you think you do, because to play o-line and not get hurt in 4 years is hard to believe.

First time right now. I play hard, have played through chronic tendinitis, a bruised heel bone and other injuries, never taking a day out. Then last week I took one hit and landed on my head a little wrong, and got a concussion. Chronic headaches, shirt term memory problems, the works. It can happen to anyone and its

Nothing about football is hard (re: pads), those kids are just massive twats who are in it for the post game plugs. Why don't you step on a real football pitch you obese fuckhead.

i mean i broke fingers making tackles. both my ring fingers, one on each hand. one is worse than the other.
i also have half a nail on my big toe right now, but thats cuz my cleats were too small. that actaully hurt more than some of my other injuries.

i have so much respect for rugby players. they get fucking pounded every single second of the game its absurd. i played football for 12 years, and i will openly admit that rugby is way more badass than football

football in the north east has nothing on football from the south.

and thats coming from someone who lives in the north east, so no bias.

dude, there's a girl on my water ski team like this. she'll take a fall that is absolutely laughable and scream bloody fucking murder, be out for a week or two, and whine about how hurt she is the entire time. (I've concluded that she does this solely for the attention.)

meanwhile i dislocated my shoulder plus tore a few muscles, and then swam to shore with one arm from the middle of the river. Then I competed in our national comp a week later (against the doctor's orders). It was not the best idea ever, and every last second of it was excruciatingly painful. But we placed third, so it was worth it to me.

i'm not trying to sound tough, or sooooo hardcore, but you can't cry fucking wolf every time you get a bump or a bruise when competing in a physical sport. there's a difference between a legitimate injury and someone whining for attention. obviously shit happens and bones break, muscles/ligaments/tendons tear, you get knocked unconscious, etc.. But if you're injury doesn't require immediate professional medical attention, then man the fuck up.

there's no way that all of you haven't had someone like this on a team, or known someone like this in your life. (Unless, of course, you're still pretty young in which case you'll come across one eventually.) Fortunately, most of these people get weeded out of physical sports in the long run.

holy long post....

I'm not knockin rugby, because it's a legit sport, but if people played football the exact way that they do, just without pads, people would consistently die. pads really just make people kick it up a notch.

FYI your a fucking idiot...rugby hits are on par with football hits, you show me a video of top 10 football hits ill show you top 10 rugby hits that are equally as brutal

he was trying to make the point that pads and helmets enable football players to use every part of their body as a weapon, like leading with the helmet. these kinds of hit are atrocious and brutal, leading to devastating injuries. take the hit on desean jackson for example...he got absolutely fucking jacked up, and you dont really see hit THAT brutal in rugby, because rugby players are making incredibly hard form tackles.

A helmet can absolutely be used as a weapon youre right about that, but pads do nothing but protect from harm and lessen the impact

In no way am I trying to knock football because i love the sport and there are some devastating hits...but pad on pad hits don't hurt as much as bone on bone

rugby is fucking brutal

oh i totally agree. rugby is fucking ridiculous. pads just kind of eliminate any sense of fear in a football player. if you know you can absolute obliterate someone with no consequence of pain, of course you're gonna do it.

yeah thats a good point, in rugby i definitely stayed away from the 250 lb'rs running full steam...but if i played football and was all suited up i probably would have gone mental with a sense of invincibility and thrown caution into the wind

im not a very big kid, but ive always been physical in football and basketball ever since i begin to play them. im so physical cause im so fast. ive never once been hurt in a football game, but two years in a row ive broken my ankle playing basketball (ruining my ski season). this happens cause i play faster then everyone else. it could go either way, dumb luck or how you play the game.

I actually see it as just the opposite,
I have seen a lot of people withstand some pretty incredible
beatings...especially in skiing.
its amazing to me that some people aren't dead...

i can't explian to you how much i miss football. practice everyday with my best friends, the pride i had when i put on my jersey, the excitement i got standing at midfield in a stadium full of 3000 people, nothing will ever replace that. the sense of joy football gave me was unmatched by everything. i went home to see my former high school play and i teared up. if you miss football, watch the 8minute music video for "Boys of Fall" by Kenny Chesney, i cried at the speeches.

so much of the time it just depends on how you get hit. It can be an innocent looking tackel and just hit you wrong and bang acl is shot. But yea there are a lot of pussies in this world and for that i blame our pampered youth.

don bosco doesnt count though. if you can recruit that its completely unfair
public school is legit because you have to have the best athletes within your town, within a certain age range, and people to fill every position.
we work with what we have, and we should have won the section championship (6-0 loss, pretty rough game, or amazing quarterback broke his foot on the second play of the game and played the entire game without complaining, talk about someone who is a fucking beast and not a pussy at all). we dont get to pick the best players in the country or even area to fill spots, we only get the kids who live here, are in high school, and want to play football

I felt so damn bad for all the 5th year players when we lost this past Friday. They all tried their damndest, and we came out losing 13-7, in the championship game, against the team we always lose to. I've never seen so many people cry at once, myself included.
