Proper football in the Dominion has one rule similar to American football. You’re not allowed to wear jewelry. I guess the premise being that your bling might strike someone in the eye.
Old Hill Wanderers player Aaron Ecclestone was bewildered to be red-carded for having … well, a Prince Albert speared through his family jewels.
According to an opponent, after Ecclestone was struck in the groin by the ball he lowered his shorts to “check that it was still there”. At which point the referee spotted the piercing and sent him off for infringing laws that forbid players from wearing jewelry.
Bloody absurd.
Thanks, Fiver
I was under the impression the bigest danger of wearing piercings in contact sports was to the wearer themselves, not to other people.
I suppose it’s possible to get poked in the eye by an ear-stud during a tackle. More likely is the stud gets caught on a piece of clothing and ripped out, cutting across the lobe like a thick cheese-wire.
No food, including Shish-kabob, on the field! Red Card!!
I don’t see the problem here. The rules of this league state no jewelry, including earrings, bellybutton rings, ect. This guy violated the rules, so they kicked him out.
Next time obey the rules.
Funny as heck.
HAR !!!
The absurdity was the player wearing the piercing. Good catch and call by the official.
Why is this “Bloody absurd”.
Its – 1 against the clear rules that ALL players know – 2 a fucked up thing to do to your cock – 3 dangerous to the forementioned cock in the kind of physical activity football entails.
Just get a freaking tattoo for gods sake.
I can’t think of a single rugby player who wouldn’t jump at chance to wave his dick at the ref.
#7, Isn’t that why male athletes wear cups?
I would be watching that ref close that wasn’t a casual glance it he spotted the jewelery on his whatchamacallit!
First of all ahahahaahaha.
Second, the guy broke the rules.
Third, it serves him right for piercing his manly bits.
Eeeeewwwwww. Just think of all the turd he gets caught on it.
This is a clear health and safety violation and the referee was correct to send off the player. One of those could get caught in heavy machinery.
It’s not absurd at all.
Piercings can get easily ripped out — especially in sports.
The goofball should have removed the piercing before he suited up. And then to pull down his pants! The guy seems like a loony.
