this may not be suitable for this blog, but Eduardo Da Silva, a 24 year old striker from Arsenal, the soccer team i like, sustained a horrifying injury in a match on saturday. he got hit low on the shin, on the outside of his left leg and it broke his fibula through his ankle bones. yeah. theisman-like. really gross, one of those ankle makes a 90% angle things. bone sticking out of the kid's leg. Martin Taylor came in with a high boot, spikes up, and may have ended a young guy's very promising career (he's from Brazil). Real shame, and i feel bad for him, and felt like sharing. I am sad. the video is off youtube, and they wouldnt even show it during the game due to the graphic nature, but if you find it, you'll be horrified like i was. ugh. poor guy.
Fucking over compensating English guys trying to make up for their feelings of emasculation for not playing a contact sport. sorry chaps, its not a contact sport. Rugby and American football are, along with hockey for sure. get over it. just terrible.

There's a still photo of the exact point where his leg snaps in ESPN magazine this week (with the Upton bros on the cover).
Even from the still it looks gruesome.
It describes it as a "double compound fracture." That's a nice way of saying "he won't be walking for a while."
Terrible indeed.
