[Brannon]

...

I didn't think it would happen to me. It doesn't physically hurt anymore, but the moment will be engraved for a long time. I knew it happened. TO OTHER GUYS IN FAR OFF LANDS. But it wasn't supposed to happen; I mean, I'm ME. I'm *lucky*. Things like that just don't HAPPEN to me. That sort of thing was supposed to stay on primetime TV... but in the space of a few seconds, I became a victim. In broad daylight no less. One moment I was walking home, and the next, I'm lying on the ground curled in the fetal position in agony, surrounded by people.

I eventually got back up, dusted myself off and walked home as best I could under the circumstances, but not before the shock of it all left me puking a bit. Now I'm here, nursing my wounds and wondering if I should buy some protection. No, that just leads down a slippery slope of paranoia and who knows where that would stop.

No. I will just have to be more careful. Quicker to react, more able to defend myself and my dignity. But for now, one day at a time. One day... at a time.

I am DJBrannon, and I was the victim of a football to the groin .

 

[puck1337]

What, you've never been hit in the nuts before?

don't worry. i was in little league one time and forgot to wear my cup. with my dad video taping i was attempting to field a ball off first when the ball kicked off the grass oddly, kicked off the heel of my glove and smacked my testicles into my body. i fell to the ground and withered in pain. the video kept rolling.

i think they ruled it a hit.

And it's funnier with that avatar.

:lol :lol :lol

welcome to the club....

actually, what kind of football?

i've been hit by a real football, but not am american football, but i bet that pointy end hurts

 

[Suikoguy]

Thats kinda ironic given your Avatar

 

[Brannon]

It was an American football. I've been hit there before, but damn it, a FOOTBALL TO THE GROIN is just going to have my friends giving me grief for weeks.

can u still have babies?

 

[CabbageRed]

Yes, you got hit with a football and incidents like this are always tragic.

However, how were you dressed? Were you in an outfit that said, "Hey, I'm the type of person who might like having a football thrown at me from time to time."? Did you say, "No" before the fact or only after? Did you have a woman with you? After all, a guy walking around clad in “come hither, football”-type garb clearing shouldn't walk around football-to-groin prone areas without buddying up first.

I'm not saying that it is your fault... just that maybe part of you is (subconsciously,, of course) less put-off by these sorts of situations than most upstanding men.

Just seeing how it goes... the eternal ouch.

 

[Zaptruder]

At least you weren't hit in the rectum with a football.

Now *that* could've really had you squirming.

 

[cvxfreak]

:lol:lol

 

[tenchir]

I always wonder if all guys fall like moeman after getting it in the groin. I remember getting it in the groin once, I proceeded to bend over to grab my crotch, than fell sideway.

I'm glad you noticed my new animation. I thought I went through the work for that for nothing.

that avatar rocks, but it breaks the 90x120 pixel rule

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

I think pretty much everybody who plays sports regularly has suffered similar injuries... not pleasant to think about!

Hush, you!

 

[Brannon]

Yes, hush! (looks around suspiciously)

*good, nobody saw.*

 

[calder]

If it didn't bring the taste of bile to my mouth just thinking too much about it (seriously, I gag) I'd tell you all the story of a friend of my brother who had an accident on his bike and fell awkwardly onto the bike's chain. I will say this: rupture, tear, lots of bleeding = 1 less testicle. Poor fucking kid (although he's probably close to 20 now, he was 12 when it happened).

:lol So true.

I will say this: rupture, tear, lots of bleeding = 1 less testicle.

I've always wondered...what exactly happens to you when you lose a testicle? I mean, do you lose any kind of, err, functionality down there?

That great writing. You totally had me thinknig you had gotten raped or something there :lol

 

[WHOAguitarninja]

I took a slapshot to the nuts once. I was wearing a cup, but it still felt really, really fucking weird for awhile. Slapshot to the head was worse though.

 

[U.2.K. Tha Greate$t]

What, you've never been hit in the nuts before?

:lol

 

[ScientificNinja]

You've never had a football in the nads before? Wow. I'd have thought it was a rite of passage for all small boys... If it makes you feel any better, I've been shot in the nads by a paintball gun

In the 7th grade I had this gymnastics thing for PE. We were tumbling on the mats and as I was rolling forward my 'friend' sticks his foot out and SUPRISE! FOOT IN MY GROIN! I had some pretty good momentum going into that but oddly enough, a complete stop by a foot didn't hurt one bit. We were both like "WTF?!"
