When you take a hit, don’t lie there

walk it off

There’s a problem in today’s world dear reader. That problem?

It’s the proliferation of soccer culture in every single youth sport.

Kids get hit when they play sports.

Most of the time now, they just lie on the ground.

Sometimes they roll around even to draw a penalty.

You’ve seen this right?

A kid gets hit or hurt, then a hush falls over the crowd. The kids lying there like they are dead.

The next moment?

The ref calls a penalty and BOOM!

Up they get and start running around like a gigolo with one pocket filled with Viagra and the other filled with meth.

There’s no fucking honour in that.

But Jimmy, safety first! They need to be examined, checked out so they don’t get injured!

Fuck that mamby pamby nanny-state horseshit.

Next thing you know, there’s a team of paramedics, the fire department with the jaws his life, a trauma counsellor, and a guy with a clipboard ready to file an emotional impact report so they can complain to a human rights tribunal.

WALK IT OFF.

Even if it hurts. Especially if it …
