"Wah Wah Call the Wambulance" came up on my facebook newsfeed. Someone I know from high school posted that on the wall of someone else I know from high school oand it came up on my newsfeed.
Thought that was interesting.
I also want to say that I hope no one who hears that at a game is truly injured. You don't want to say that and find out that a player is out for a season.
I will say that lying on the ground and faking an injury is by far my least favorite part of soccer. I hate that.
I remember that one player did such a good job acting. They were crying and holding their knee. I thought they tore their ACL. The person sitting next to me didn't even want to look at the player for fear of the worst. After 5 minutes they got up. They had some water. They limped twice and then ran about as fast as an F-16 flies.
That water must have had some magical powers, or that player is great at acting...or they are SO TOUGH...that they actually were able to run full speed on a bad injury.
I'll fill in option B as an educated guess on that one.
Either way, I really wish players didn't fake injuries, especially after I saw Mel Thomas on TV trying to play on a torn ACL before she was taken out against Syracuse. There are also so many athletes that get injuries that prevent them from competing and winning championships...They wish they were just faking injuries...I also love that Emmitt Smith played amazing football on a separated shoulder against the Giants in the Meadowlands in 1993 to give the Cowboys home field advantage in the playoffs. And you know I love both the real Willis Reed for playing for the Knicks in the NBA Playoffs and the other Willis Reed who rows with a shoulder injury. I love toughness and I wish soccer players didn't fake injuries.
Here is what I was talking about with Emmitt Smith. I love this toughness...
