Kevin Ware

[3uconn]

I don't know if any of you are watching the Louisville Duke game but Kevin Ware just severely broke his leg. It was very gruesome. All of our thoughts and prayers should be for a speedy recovery. Many players couldn't watch and there are reports that players were vomiting on the sidelines. Many players were crying. Sad. Once again we should express sympathy for him.

Hope for a speedy recovery

Yes i really hope he will be ok. Very hard to see that. Give credit to the Louisville kids for having the mental toughness to go back out and play at a high level. I really hope they win this for Kevin Ware.

 

[Oxford Bob]

One of the worst I've ever seen. Hopefully he is able to overcome this and continue playing ball again.

Go Louisville, win it for Kevin!

Might be the worst sports injury of all time. On par with Theisman and Tyrone Prothro. Hope he is ok. Prayers are with him.

Your kidding right? There are players who will never walk again. Its bad, but far from the worst. Was cheering for Louisville today, but now cheering extra hard. Wishing Ware a speedy recovery.

I think there's a disconnect here. There's the type that's the worst to watch, and the type that's the worst for the athlete. Roy Chapman was killed by a baseball in 1920 - a UMass lacrosse goalie was killed by a lacrosse ball hitting him in the chest in just the right spot. In terms of worst to watch, the only one that springs to mind is Clint Malarchuk's severed jugular.

Clearly i was referring to the "hardest to watch".

Shouldn't we be praying another player doesn't snap his leg clean in two? Why does everyone pray after the fact when the damage is already done. I would think you'd pray it doesn't happen to someone else.

On my way home from CT and was listening to the game and the announcers said they could not even describe it.........gruesome! Hope the Cards hammer Duke for the kid.........awful news!

Eric Legrand you @$$hat.

People are talking about different things. Worse to watch versus worst consequences. Clearly legrande and stingley had worse consequences but wares was much worse to watch.

Clearly you said it was the "worst sports injury of all time.". Not that it was the hardest to watch injury. Either way, watching someones body go completely limp trumps all except someone dying on the field.

Disagree. It's much worse to watch someone's leg break in half than someone get knocked unconscience and its not even close.

 

[jibsey]

Not in the same ballpark as a paralyzing neck injury, but yes gruesome. If it's a clean break, it's not even as bad as some ligament injuries that apoear to be nothing.

 

[minidarren]

Eric Legrand was not knocked unconscious. You obviously have no clue who or what I'm referring to. YouTube the event.

This is a dumb conversation. My prayers are with Kevin Ware.

The difference is that you need to know the consequences of those injuries for the visual to have an effect. Football or hockey players go motionless a lot - and 99 percent of the time, they end up ok. You can see the consequences of a leg snapped in half - you didn't need confirmation from the sideline reporter that he had a broken leg.

From a hockey perspective, Travis Roy v Clint Malarchuk are two different things. Roy's injury was much worse - Malarchuk recovered fine. But I wont watch Malarchuk's again. Hank Gathers wasn't really an injury, but when I saw the 30-for-30, it was sad to relive that story and watch him collapse, knowing he would pass away that night, but I didn't have to avert my eyes.

Again with more prayers.

I have a much harder time watching sports injuries where someone dies or gets paralyzed. I've seen many athletes have the same type of injury as Ware had, Napolean McCallum's leg injury was harder to watch.

. Hank Gathers wasn't really an injury, but when I saw the 30-for-30, it was sad to relive that story and watch him collapse, knowing he would pass away that night, but I didn't have to avert my eyes.

I remember sitting on my parents couch and crying while watching Gathers lay on the floor. It was the second time it had happened and you knew it wasn't good. That was awful.
