Probably both. I learned something new, I guess

Both. The broken bone didn't hurt that much, but when you're trying to catch passes with a dislocated pinky...not fun.

how about this classic



just this week

paulo diogo celebrated a goal by leaping over a fence into the crowd...his ring got caught on the fence and tore the tip of his finger off

he screamed at the ref so he could get treatment but what did the empathetic referee do

booked him for showing off

I grew up in a small town where sports is the driving force of the town, unfortunately. I also was an all-conference receiver, so the coaching staff felt that I needed to be out there to help my team win (morons). However, it was not all their fault. I made the decision to go back out on the field. My finger hurt but not to the point where I felt I needed to sit. It's good to see you have a coach that's putting your health above the team's performance.

Waste of time

She still has to go to basketball games even though she can't play. She just sits and watches. This is not a damage to her health, and I can say that she watches most willingly, but it's such a waste of time!

Counterpoint...



She's still part of the team, though. When you're hurt, that doesn't mean you're no longer part of the team. You aren't contributing in the sense that you're not on the field, floor, etc. but you can still help the team w/encouragement and being another set of eyes to help the team see things they can't.

yup. u got it. finally some1 who understands. my dad doesnt. he doesnt get why i have to stay for 5hrs at a game. also another reason why i come to games is to learn as much as possible. i ain't no all conference point guard( 'cept ur a receiver), so im gonna be behind when i get back from my injury. need to soak up every detail. sorta frustrating b/c i cant play anything therefore i have lil experience.

try this...



I know it's tough right now riding the pine and being forced to watch from the bench, but try to use your injury as a positive. Look for things that others are doing (or aren't doing) and then use that knowledge when you get back to be a better baller. Good luck! Thumb Up

Also throw big metallic chairs at the oppositions legs! Thumb Up You can't really be sent off the court cus you're already on the bench!

I used to play Basketball (cus I'm 6'3), gave it up though, height really doesn't have much to do with it when you lack skill! Apparently I was pretty good, but when I stopped playing for a month, I went back to it and just couldn't play aswell, got discouraged and started playing soccer! It's a brilliant game, we Australians are barely into it though, we watch a little thing called A.F.L.!

Good advice from GPieters! Thumb Up

HK has great advice.

You always have the best advice, HK. Weren't you the one that told me to bash my sister with a bag of oranges? White laugh
Sangu can't do that; her arm is in a sling because when she moves her arm, it moves her collarbone.

Yes it is! I like soccer too Thumb Up ...I use to hang with guys all the time during lunch to play soccer in elementary school...it was one of my primary joys of life. Very Happy
...wait, is there a difference between American soccer and Australian soccer? Or is the difference only in football? I'm confused.
