Five dumbest on-field injuries in sports

[prinzeofmoval]

Ted Ginn Jr in the national championship should be number one..He returns one for a TD and then his team injurys him during a celebration...They were up before that happened only to lose after that.

Of course, all the unnecessary over-acting and drama ends instantly when the opposing player gets a penalty card or gets kicked out of the game. This is just one of the many reasons I don't watch soccer or have any respect for those who play it. Someone needs to take away the "man cards" for these guys.......either that, or give them a television program on TLC.

Good call. I hate soccer too.

YouTube - Angry tennis player going nuts. Hits self in head.

Argh, that sounded like a fun one to watch. They removed it.

I agree 100%. He was jumping up and down to celebrate a short field goal early in the game, it's not like he just made a 55 yarder to win the freaking Super Bowl. He got hurt because he was way too excited over doing his job.

You didn't see sportscenter or PTI, or around the horn? They all showed it. It was a pretty dumb move.

I think his field goal gave them a 3-0 lead if I remember right.

Maybe you're right, my memory isn't what it used to be. That actually sounded right after you said it. I might be thinking of something else.
