Nutty, soccer players don't usually wear cups.
Right, which is why that subordinate clause about people who are insane.

I can't even.
While I respectfully disagree with you on that one, I can't help but notice that my point about TOTALLY EFFED UP PRIORITIES remains unchallenged.
Since you currently have a non-excretory todger purpose, of course you would take that position. [insert winky here] Well, the thing is, the thing is already injured.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I seem to recall that back in the dawn of time, Mapquest and Yahoo Maps would let you check alternate routes - they'd give you the straightest path between points A and B, then let you plot out an alternate if you wanted. And now I can't find that feature anywhere there or on any map site I go to.
Try expedia.com's map page. I believe they still let you select from shortest by mileage, quickest, and, possibly, senic.

Lying on the ground and bleeding heavily seems a perfectly appropriate response to me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Reminds me of the Welsh soccer fan who cut off his own testicle and then walked to the local pub to show it off.
Ouch. I know Welshmen are pretty crazy. But the ones I know personally seem more attached to their balls than that.

I can't even.
Right, which is why whenever you see male soccer players forming a defensive wall in front of a direct kick, the smart ones will all have their hands positioned directly in front of their groins.
Completely legal (and recommended).
If any part of my body has a three inch gash in it, never mind the genitals, which are loaded with (generally happy) nerve endings, I actually can't play. Anything.
In a 30-year soccer career, I probably got kicked in the groin hundreds of times. Luckily, no wounds. However, I got up and played on from far worse injuries than an incidental boot to the bag. I believe a professional athlete would be more highly motivated to continue playing if capable.

Cup is not optional equipment in SCA fighting by regulation and by psychiatric assessment. I've forgotten mine once. Once.
Right, which is why that subordinate clause about people who are insane.
It really isn't necessary. Hundreds of professional games are played every week and every 5-10 years or so, one story comes along to make everyone go "ook".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I gotta wonder why the ref let him back on the field with blood soaked shorts. FIFA put in rules years ago requiring any player with an open wound to leave the field to have it bandaged before allowing them to return for fear of transmitting blood-borne diseases. Unless the rules only applied to amateurs, but that seems unlikely because the incident that led them to institute the rules occurred in a pro match.
