I can guarantee those men have some serious bone and muscle problems later in life LOL
hehe. Your not wrong there. Well actually, they already have lots of bone problems. My friend plays Rugby for County, actually 3 of them do, so they are VERY good at Rugby. One is like my best mate, and i dont think he has gone 5 weeks without breaking something. At the moment, he has 2 broken fingers and a thumb or something. I recall times when he has broken:
- His arm (numerous times)
- Wrists (too many times)
- Leg (once)
- Fingers (about 5 times)
- toes (a couple of times)
I swear he should be deformed by now. My oher friend was also out for a very long time when he was tackled badly and landed on his collar bone and it broke.
Rugby sure is a dangerous sport, but so much fun aswell.
About the cricket thing, i think its sensible to wear alot of padding. When you have a rock hard ball, going at like 100mph it makes sense. Ive been hit by a cricket ball at speed, and ive never felt pain like it (apart from when being sat on by a really big lad in rugby during PE).
BTW about all the padding for soccer, that seems a little over the top. It isnt that a violent game (but my team got 3 players sent off for a fowl, then for pushing, and then the goalkeeper got sent off for kicking the ball at full pelt into someones head while he was faking being in pain. LOL) I mean, why have all the hip pads and ankle guards? At school we play footy with shorts and T shirt on, foot socks and boots, and shin pads if you want em. Thats about it. Goalkeepers get gloves if they want em.
But i dont play that many sports so im never hurt that much. You rarely get hurt in tennis and things.
