Leather Up Nancy-Boy!
Harebell's taking you to task for your love of armour-plated football in lieu of soccer...footy, you know, the game with all the diving...and rugby, which isn't even as tough as pro wrestling.
As for the comment that:
"Soccer players play without armour"
Sheesh. Even those "the overweight padded monsters who play N American football" don't wear shin protection like that. They only wear armour where their bodies collide with other bodies.
And how about those big-arsed Mickey Mouse gloves worn by the goalies?
Poor little darlings need help with their well-manicured hands I suppose. Must be a Euro thing. I blame Beckham.
Lastly, during August, I watched a lot of Gol! TV. Or Goal! TV. Or whatever the hell it's called. I saw a number (more than three, less than everyone) of fullbacks wearing some kind of chest/rib protection. Now, if I had to stand in front of free kicks for a living, I sure as hell would wear something to keep from having broken ribs.
And if I had to play rugby against this guy:
I wouldn't. Not without a suit of armour. Or a suit that can resist bear attacks. Something like this:
As for the severity of injuries, I'm sure Darryl Stingley might have something to say about that. As would Joe Theismann, and a host of other players. There is a reason running backs last 3-4 seasons in the NFL.
Now wasn't that way more fun that reading anything by Raphael?

Dodo, The Dingbat From Outer Fuckwittia
Once in a while, you just have to kick the rotting fruit underfoot, 'cause the low-lying stuff seems like too much work.
Canadian blogger Dodo, telling us all about Sarah Palin:
"The lefty women are jealous of her as she can juggle a full fledged family and a fabulous career all very successfully and still look like a trillion dollars. Lefty men hate her because they have never been able to find a 'one man women' like Palin and have had to be contend with all those 'love me now, leave me later' type of nitwits."
That is an exhausting level of stupid.
