You’re right. Sounds like a lot of latent homosexuality bound up in that whole thing. I’m sure a shrink could have a field day with it.
This idiot shouldn’t be having children anyway...
What part of the news story led you to conclude that the boy who has his testicle ruptured is an idiot?
Teenage boys don’t have to have homosexual tendencies to hurt each other in a game - and what’s the worst pain they can imagine?
In a modern society when we give most boys (the exceptions are those engaged in rigorous sport or challenging activities like tradtional scouting) so few chances to experience real physical challenges and have no manhood rites to allow boys to endure and show how tough they are, they make up their own.
It's a second-degree felony.
I apologize...I thought he was a willing participant in this ‘game’...didn’t notice that he had been attacked.
It’s been an acceptable part of comedy films for decades.
Squirrels do something similar to each other to eliminate the weakest and insure the strongest and baddest squirrel spreads his DNA.
It’s all fun and games until someone loses a testicle.
First of all, what is “sack tapping”? Not for nothing, but people think NY is weird and dangerous. From what I read, the mid west is a lot odder with all these violent and stupid games they like to play. Is it because they are so football obsessed? I would make the sack tapper pay off the medical bill.
Hell yes, someone should be charged. It sounds like a sexual assault to me. You have to wonder why they published the kid’s name.
Games usually cannot be played involuntarily...
I'd make him pay more than that. The boy had to have his testicle amputated. This is a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
Ohhh - right in the Kaneegies.
That’s gay as hell.
It sure as hell is.
I’m gonna put my hand in the neighborhood of another males private parts?
NOT in the teen world I grew up in.

Where I’m from it’s called “Cup check,” and it’s not really a game. It’s something teens have been indoctrinated to do to cause one another pain, in the name of being funny.
“Game” is a misnomer. It’s idiotic, but they’re taught by popular media to think it’s “cool.”
