OT: Tough Guys
Spent 6 hours in Urgent Care yesterday with my son after he was checked hard under the ribs in a lacrosse game.
When the injury occurred his coach told him to “man up” and get back in there. And of course he did. There was never any doubt about that. The kid would walk through fire to keep playing. He’s been pissing blood ever since.
Urgent care sent us to a trauma center, which is where he spent the night, lying in a bed with what they described as “potentially life threatening” bleeding of the liver. Surgery was only ruled out this morning.
It’s no longer life threatening. He’ll be going home this afternoon. But he’s out for the season.
Hey, if you’re a coach and one of your kids gets hurt, take them out of the fucking game and save the “man up” bullshit for your fake-tough online profile.

I just get a charge out of the hypocrisy here. For the record, I do hope your son is 100% okay but I feel your ideology is every bit as dangerous as that of the coach from what I’ve witnessed from you in the past.
Oh my...what in the name of drag queen bingo are you talking about!!? LOL. I don't understand the relevance. I do know that for whatever reason this topic has become top of mind for people of a certain political stripe, but I don't think I've ever once thought about it, much less expressed an opinion about it. But now I'm curious. What do you think I said?

Jesus, I hope you're not still dealing with that.
I went down after hitting a big ass WR on a quick slant. Just remember lights, green grass, colorful uniforms. I went off for a play, trainer asks me how many fingers he's holding up, the score, the quarter, all of which I could answer. Go back into the game and "Orange 4" is called. Just a basic quarters defense. Probably ran that play a thousand times. But at that very moment, they could've called the play "Bob" and it would've meant the same to me. I was like that for about 4 plays before I came out of it.
That was the time though. Coaches, trainers, they didn't know shit. Hell, we didn't even get water back then, just ice.
The coach I told that I lost my memory was fired later that year for having sex with a student in the classroom where he taught.

And you know damn well that this shit doesnt take place in this board. You are done in this thread.

There wont be a reply coming and with his exit that will be the end of this line in this thread. Back to your son.
