Soccer Player Struck By Lightning
From the too weird to make up department.
A soccer game in Brazil was suspended after a player was struck by lightning:
The lightning struck midfielder Gilvan near midfield in the in the 63rd minute of the Novo Horizonte-Atletico Goianiense match in the Goias state championship on Wednesday.
Gilvan immediately collapsed and was taken unconscious to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
“I woke up in the hospital,” the Novo Horizonte player said. “The pain was too strong. I’m relieved to have survived this.”
Take this as proof, God hates soccer too. And I’m not a sadist or anything, but how great would it be if this ends up on YouTube? It would instantly become the best sports injury ever.
Now if a tsunami would just take out Josh Beckett, I could really get ready to enjoy baseball season.
