    Why would you not like athletes because of that?

    i dont get why they let people stand out there to get hit by javelins, cant they just clear everyone out and then let them see where it landed instead of having javelins lodged into people for no reason.... anyway i dont see how that makes you not like athletics either, but whatever i guess you have your reasons

    This thread deserves a better title. Man Getting Impaled By Javelin will guarantee more page views.

    Ok so i'm not really good in choosing titles:D. You are right.

    Thanks man:D.

    It is not that I do nto like athletes. I never like spear throwing, since most people in my class were terrible at it, and since we also did other sport on the field, i never trusted others with a spear, because i figured the same thing that happened here could also happen on our field.

    I remember many years ago at some event a judge standing in the middle of the field had a javalin nail him in the bicep. I bet that video is out there somewhere.

    I would love to do that to Vspan... but because of him we got Scola, so I'll hold my breath till the season starts.

    I almost got hit in the head by a discus when I was a kid - and I was supposed to be marking where they landed!

    I was always one for getting distracted - they never should have had me near that place.

    When Brits and Europeans use the term "Athletics", it specifically means track &field events.

    That's just idiotic event planning right there. They had the long jump, whose pit is right next to the javelin field, going on at the same time as the javelin throw. That's like playing soccer on an archery range.

    that guy who got javelin-ed was hardcore, ripped that thing right out and continued doing his job. He probably has more Spartan blood in him than V-span.

    here's another accident

    I bet Jesus was looking at her at that moment and saying, "Psh...suck it up p***y."

    I dunno, for me it was the painfully false promise of increased popularity in high school. Guess wearing a numbered shirt every Friday wasn't much of an antidote for bad B.O. and poor social skills.
