Stretched to the Limit
Professional football is a physically demanding sport, and it can be as demanding on your clothing. It’s difficult for professional football players to maintain their uniforms looking their best when they’re surrounded by grass and perspiration stains. This athlete, Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah, had the limitations of his shirt tested during a game when an opponent grabbed hold of his shirt while he was rushing.
We’re sure the garment was discarded after the game, but the extraordinary stretchiness of the fabric is something to be commended.
The Ball Goes in the Net, Not You
Participating in the Olympic Games is a dream come true for every athlete. While it can be exciting to compete in front of a large portion of the world, it can also be embarrassing when everyone is watching. When Karol Bielecki, a Polish Olympic handball player, accidently fell into the goalie’s net during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he understood that having so many people watching him wasn’t a good thing.
We’re sure he didn’t enjoy the fact that his mistake was exposed to the entire world.
