In the world of sports, things happen all the time – whether it all boils down to skill or luck is beside the point. We’re just glad that cameramen were around to capture some of the insane, hilarious, painful, extraordinary shots. Just take a look for yourself and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
Hero or Superhero?
When this image surfaced, in a heartbeat it was everywhere on social media and news platforms. We’re not surprised, this dad is a real-life Superman! Luckily his kid didn’t have to worry about consulting his health insurance coverage cause that would have left quite the shiner.
Hero or Superhero?
Gelly-Ish
Without a doubt, we can hardly look away from this photo. It almost looks extraterrestrial, like from X-Men or The X Files, all the X’s really.
Gelly Ish
No Hands
Magician? Baseball master? Lucky shot? All of the above? In any case, A-Rod has just taken things to a new level. One that can’t be easily replicated but then again, that’s just how he rolls now isn’t it?
No Hands
Seeing Double
Ahem, this photo is one of those instances when a photo is worth a thousand words. Then again, let’s hope his skill is beyond comparison otherwise he might need to phone up his health insurance coverage and ASAP.
Seeing Double
Froggy
First of all, my sides are aching from laughing so hard at this photo! Second, is this some kind of new scare tactic in the world of competitive ping pong? (Moreover, did we really just say that? Oh man.)
Froggy
Guuuurl
If you’ve ever been around a girl then you’ve surely heard her on the phone to her friends, and chances are at one point she said, “Guuuurl.” Yeah, her face probably looked like exactly like this guy’s face.
Guuuurl
Face First
Should we be in awe or shock by this photo? We certainly can’t choose so maybe a bit of both! I mean, this is usually how Michael Phelps looks when he’s swimming – you know, when you catch up to him.
Face First
Lesson Learned
Uhh, we’re pretty sure you learned the basics back in little league. So no excuses when you’re in the big leagues – this is seriously an amateur mistake if we’ve ever seen one.
Lesson Learned
Kobe!
Who wouldn’t want a photo of Kobe Bryant in the flesh? The man is a walking legend so all we gotta say is, “Go on, girl!”
Kobe!
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner
Whoever said that a bike race could only be won on a bike? Just take a look at this kid, thinking out of the box. No bike? No problem!
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Wait, What?
While I do understand what’s happening in this photo, it doesn’t make it any less **weird**. Then again, pretty sure that “weird” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Wait What
Up And Over
You’d think that by now this guy would have figured that he isn’t in the middle of a limbo competition. And while we’re at it, let’s get him started with an instruction manual and the number for his health insurance coverage. He’s gonna need both.
Up And Over
Ay Batter Batter
If you’ve never seen a baseball game then you’d know that this isn’t a common thing and no, it doesn’t win you games either. It’s just a stroke of luck, a freak accident, or something like that.
Ay Batter Batter
Headless Horseman
Nope, not an optical illusion. Just the right angle and good (more like lucky) camera work. Nothing more than that so you can stop thinking that this gymnast is missing her head!
Headless Horseman
Most Valuable Picker
Just when you think that celebrities aren’t like us mere mortals whatsoever, an image such as one presents itself. See? Stars – they’re just like us – even they “dig for gold”.
Most Valuable Picker
Tennis, Anyone?
Pretty sure that when Michelle Obama saw this photo surface, she just laughed it off because she’s that kind of person! And that’s why we love her! Michelle Obama 2020, anyone?
Tennis Anyone
Nope.
Ahem, it is definitely accidents like this one that causes some of the weirdest reasons to need health insurance coverage. Right? Right.
Nope.
Yikes
If you had to do a double take with this photo, don’t worry, you’re not alone. While there is a reasonable explanation, it doesn’t mean it’s not freaky!
Yikes
Teamwork
Whoever said that synchronized swimming is not real sport should lay their eyes on this photo! No really. Acts such as this one require a dedicated team, hard work, and the realization that your pride will get a bit wounded.
Teamwork
The Karate Kid
Yup, there’s a reason why athletes have some of the greatest health insurance coverage known to man. And if you have to ask, yes, it is because of moments such as shown in the photo below.
The Karate Kid
Om Nom Nom!
You know those become who become “han-gry” when they haven’t eaten in a certain amount of minutes (yes, we do mean minutes)? Yeah, it looks something like this. Terrifying is an understatement!
Om Nom Nom
Say Cheese!
Yikes, this is quite the photo to follow you around in your diving career. It’s rather unfortunate but how many people can say that they participated in the Olympics? Not many! So just solider on through!
Say Cheese
Tag! You’re It
Come on, with this photo we just have to state the obvious, “when you mess with the bull…you get the horns.” Sorry, not sorry. Let’s hope he has the number for his health insurance coverage on speed dial, he’s gonna need them ASAP.
Tag! You’re It
Gravity
Well, not all of us can be like Tony Hawk. And not many of us can afford the same kind of health insurance coverage like Tony Hawk – so many, quit while you’re ahead?
Gravity
Slip And Slide
Whoever says that sledding is not dangerous has clearly never done extreme sledding – although we’re pretty sure that’s not what this lady intended to do. Either way, it’s hilarious!
Slip And Slide
Power!
Ahem, everyone knows that shot put is a dangerous, dedicated sport and when you look at this athlete’s face…it just says it all. The amount of determination and focus is clear as day. **snicker, snicker**
Power
AHH!
Welp, to be one with the ball, I guess you have to get smashed, hard, in the face with one? And don’t you think that by now she wouldn’t be quite so mortified?
Ahh
Size Doesn’t Matter
Sometimes it pays off to be short when playing basketball…sometimes.
Size Doesnt Matter
Take A Seat Son
Make all the annoyed faces you want, but you’re still sitting on some man’s leg while the rest of your team, yah know, is playing the game!
Take A Seat Son
Teddy Bear Hugs
Didn’t know that ping pong could turn to something so…intimate. Just one brief glance at this photo and I’m thinking I need to leave the room!
Teddy Bear Hugs
Tennis Face
Rafael Nadal is many things and the King of Tennis is one of them. With that being said, it doesn’t make his “tennis face” any less hysterical. Then again, everyone’s “tennis face” is a riot.
Tennis Face
Pig Rodeo
We’re not joking – pig rodeos are a totally real thing. Don’t believe us? Book a ticket to Japan and its annual Seiyo City Mikame Summer Festival. That’s where you can enter in the pig rodeo, if that’s what floats your boat.
Pig Rodeo
Power Guy Makes A Comeback
Oh goody, the shot put guy is back again. What is with that sport that makes it so difficult to take seriously? Oh, his face? Yeah, yeah we get that.
Power Guy Makes A Comeback
Oh Heck No
Baseball is more than just peanuts and cracker jacks! Who would have thought that fans also needed their health insurance coverage on standby?
Oh Heck No
Ooomph
We suppose that “making ridiculous faces” is just common practice in the world of sports and that’s about all we have to say here.
Ooomph
Nummers
Don’t let anyone ever tell you that football (soccer) is not a dangerous sport! Just show them this photo and job done.
Nummers
Mom!
Adam Jones and Torrey Smith just stooped to the lowest level possible! Hair pulling, really? What is this? Second grade? Didn’t think so.
Mom!
Chomp
Say what you will but his face has made perfect contact with the ball, in a painful kind of way of course. Think it’s on his health insurance coverage? Probably.
Chomp
Come Here
Well, here’s an athlete with a hypnotizing love for the game. All be it, in a totally creepy kind of way. Sorry, I just look away at the moment, I’m almost as hypnotized as he is!
Come Here
Can’t Touch This
Fans are known to try to do and say things to throw their opponents off their game but this…well this just takes it to a whole other level. Although point proven.
Cant Touch This
Is This How It’s Supposed To Work?
Ahem, if you didn’t laugh for five minutes straight with tears welling up in your eyes while looking at this photo then one things for sure, you’re nothing like me! I certainly lost it when I saw this photo. Oh man!
Is This How Its Supposed To Work
Oops
Girl, you need more than health insurance coverage, you need dental coverage after a hit like that! YIKES. Painful? We’d say so!
Oops
Nummy In My Tummy
Focus is crucial on game day although not this extreme. This is just weird and creepy and hilarious. The total package, really.
Nummy In My Tummy
Bloopers
Pretty sure he meant to do but it still won’t overshadow the “MVP” photo. Like ever.
Bloopers
Yum Isn’t The Right Word
When it comes to dominating your competition on the court, pretty sure this isn’t the right way to go about it. But do we know? We’re not NBA professionals.
Yum Isn’t The Right Word
Roar
I mean, I always snickered when people said that cheerleading was a sport but I guess with faces like this, I could be wrong? Or am I only being proven 100% right? Hard to tell.
Roar
Smoosh
Even Shaq never looked this bad going up for a slam dunk! Guess there’s a first time for everything.
Smoosh
The Gun Show
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, shot put is a pretty darn intense sport. Just look at the intensity of her face! Such determination – makes for some comedic moments.
The Gun Show
Back Flip
Michelle Kwan is just about one of the greatest ice skaters out there but in this photo, she looks like she’s about to break her back. And we can’t imagine that’s good for her career!
Back Flip
Bit Of A Tumble
From one ice skating blooper to another, although this one is far more serious. No matter the injury, a fall such as this has got to be on their health insurance coverage.
Bit Of A Tumble
Don’t Move
What is this? Boxing? MMA? Either way, it does not look pleasant. Sorry, was that too much an understatement?
Don’t Move
I Believe I Can Fly
What is about bulls that causes people to lose all sense? I mean, come on! Granted this is hilarious but it’s also insanely dangerous!
I Believe I Can Fly
Ouch
Talk about playing dirty! This athlete clearly has no sense of sportsmanship and that’s just not right.
Ouch
Denied
So that’s one way to stop your opponent from delivering another punch! Whatever works, we guess. Even if it does seem a bit, well, low.
Denied
Focus On The Game
Wait, are we seeing things wrong here? Did this guy just stop to take a photo rather than focusing on the game? Or was this just a stroke of luck?
Focus On The Game
Superfan
There’s being a fan and then there’s being a fan. Although in case, everybody is a bit freaked out, impressed maybe, but mostly freaked out. Although it seems like Tiger Woods has his head in the game.
Superfan
Waaaaaa?
But moooooooom! That’s what Peter Crouch’s face looks like in this moment, yes even up against the great Ronaldo.
Waaaaaa?
Oh, Hey
Ahem, cricket is quite an intense sport, even if not everyone understands all the rules. But we’re pretty sure something like this…isn’t the norm.
Oh Hey
Tumble!
Well, we suppose it’s good they fell on top of some cheerleaders and not their fans? Wait, on the other hand, it’s not a good thing either way.
Tumble!
Not Cool, Bro
Only the keeper (the goalie) is allowed to use his hands during a game so not entirely sure what this one is all about!
Not Cool, Bro
Ouch Times 10
We’re going to go out on a limb and say that this, this really hurts. No need for health insurance coverage, someone get him some ice.
Ouch Times 10
Bend And Snap
Something here is not like the other… Yeah, it’s the cheerleader who doesn’t appear to be quite as flexible as the rest of the group!
Bend And Snap
Uhh….
There is a lot of crazy happening in this moment – everyone is as risk! Duck and cover!
Uhh….
Concentrate
Coach said to always concentrate, to keep your head in the game and eyes on the prize – although we don’t think he meant quite so literally.
Concentrate
Not The Right Ball
Can we just point out that the ball seems to be incredibly small for such an intense game!
Not The Right Ball
