During a game of footy at school i had a guy wearing cleats step on my arm after i dived for the ball. That hurt like the dickens. I can only imagine what it would be like to have someone step or even sideswipe your face with some... We really need a wincing orkmoticon.
Honestly, at the time, I was so into the game that I was more upset that I had to go to the hospital. I barely even felt it, until the day after anyway.
This is fun though, its bringing back great memories.
To list injuries I suffered:
(American Football)
Tore my ACL freshman year of highschool during our first contact practice. We were playing "Bull in the Ring" which is basically Sumo, but with pads. I got placed against the biggest dude on our team, 6'3 300-ish, I was doing well until I tried to shuck him. He fell on my fully extended leg. That hurt.
Separated my shoulder a couple times while pulling.
(Rugby)
All the aforementioned face injuries.
Separated my shoulder tackling a much larger man. Note to self, don't try to spear guys that are your height, but with an extra 100 lbs.
We were playing another college team. It was a
dirty game. The Sir called myself (hooker) and the scrum together with their scrum and hooker and basically told both teams to take it down a notch. Their scrum proceeded to punch ours in the face, right there in front of the Sir; who was understandably dumbfounded. He called the game as a forfeit when he realized what had happened, and their scrum protested. I remember the exchange verbatim:
Sir: You punched him the face.
Other Scrum: No I didn't.
Sir: What?
Other Scrum: I didn't punch him the face.
Sir: You did it 30 seconds ago, right here, in front of me.
Other Scrum: You're lying.
As this is happening the other guys on our team are pulling out cell phones and calling the police, because everyone knows what is coming. I grabbed our scrum by the jersey and started backing him away because we had maybe 30 guys, and they had about 60; I pick up the game ball on the way back. I hear "feth you!" from their scrum, and see their hooker charge at us. Mind you our team is on the sidelines, while theirs had been framing the far side of the field during the exchange. So I gun the ball at the hooker's head, I missed (I can't pass for gak), he hits me at full bore. This was stupid because I just rolled through it, pinned his arms back with my knees, and started punching him the face. This broke my knuckle (this is the injury). Probably his nose too, I don't remember much after that aside from the police sirens. Turns out the whole opposing team had done several lines before the match.
(Wrestling)
Kid headbutted me off the whistle. I bit through the right half of my tongue. My immediate reflex was to start swallowing blood. This won me the match after I threw a front headlock on his attempted double-leg, but led to much vomiting in the bathroom and a tongue that is numb on one side.
Injuries I've caused:
(American Football)
Full disclosure, the joke in this game was "Dogma is always the dirtiest player on the field."
Kid playing 2-way line spit in our QB's face after he ran him out of bounds on an option. He was their center, I was the nose, my hand may or may not have intentionally slid into his throat...several times. He had to leave the game due to an inability to breathe.
In college a guy had been cutting downfield, illegally, but wasn't being penalized. I took it upon myself to single him out when he came to block me. I grabbed his face mask, and snapped it downwards. His helmet came off, as expected, and he got a stinger; also as expected. The motion threw the helmet to the sideline, about 15 yards away, and I didn't get a penalty. Their coach almost gak himself with rage, understandably so.
There are others, but those are the fun ones.
