Man Volunteers to Take Tennis Ball to the Groin

This is the most inexplicable and ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. All in the name of science! This dood, who we shall call, Bill F. Moron, volunteers to take a 50 mph tennis ball to the groin, in order to figure out how brain reacts. F you Fox. And F you dude, for volunteering.
And Fox has some justification for it too!
When a man sees a pro athlete take a low blow during a sporting event, he instinctively flinches and bemoans the pain that athlete is now enduring. Is it empathy or a subconscious understanding of pain? And what is the scientific reaction of the body when a male athlete is hit in the most sensitive of areas?
On this week’s episode of the critically-acclaimed hit series SPORT SCIENCE, host John Brenkus and his team of scientists take a close look at the impact of low blows and examine just how safe protective equipment really is….
In the one test this season you won’t be able to watch and yet won’t be able to take your eyes off of, a human subject volunteers to get hit in the groin with a tennis ball shot out of a cannon at 50 MPH as he is wired from head to toe so Brenkus’ crew can get every reading available to give an exact scientific answer to why the low blow is so crippling.
Are all your research panelists female? Who did you not have on board to tell you that it just hurts when you get hit in the penis (looking for the Blue Cross link now). Science can go screw itself, as far as I’m concerned. Unless they’re paying me $50,000. Okay, maybe $10,000.
