They should post this story in the hallways at BC. It was always one of my greatest fears walking down the hallway. That, and being seen with Pat Holland.

A Minnesota teenager had to have his testicle amputated after being punched in the groin by a classmate, KARE11.com reported Friday.
David Gibbons, 14, was changing classes in his Crosby, Minn. high school when he was attacked by another student playing a game called “sack tapping.”
David’s mother, Christy Gibbons, said it wasn’t until hours later that they realized something was wrong.
"One o'clock in the morning he woke me up and told me he was in excruciating pain," she said.
David was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd, Minn. where surgeons removed his right testicle.
And David is not the only student who has suffered the consequences of the “sack tapping” game.
"It's just gotten way out of control," said Dr. Scott Wheeler, a urologist in Brainerd, Minn. who says he performs three to four surgeries a year on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications as a result of “sack tapping.”
"All parents, you need to have this talk with your kids not to do it. It's lost its humor. It's not a game anymore. People get hurt," he added.

Holy cow! That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time.
"It's lost its humor. It's not a game anymore. People get hurt,"
At least the medical community is willing to admit that at one point it had humor.
In my medical opinion, it probably lost its humor when the name was changed from ball tapping to sack tapping.
Wrong, weazle. It will never lose its humor.
I don't even want to know the consequences of a game of "touchdown" gone wrong.
It's just another form of the pussification of America. Dodgeball is banned, being gay is cool, now this?
The CDC might want to crack down on "Tea Bagging."
One swipe from Jeff Feus could cause an apocalyptic outbreak.
