Napoli Players Banned From Sex Before Matches to Prevent Injuries
Serie A side Napoli revealed it bans its players from sexual activity in the 48 hours leading up to matches. It is not the usual hogwash about ejaculation depleting the masculine essence. The abstinence purportedly prevents muscle problems.
Here’s the Team Doctor:
“Avoiding sexual activity for two days before a game is fundamental to prevent muscular strains, contractions or inflammations,” Professor Alfonso De Nicola told Corriere del Mezzogiorno.
“It is the rule for our squad. There is also a specific work done by my staff and the fitness coaches which is aimed more at prevention than cure.
Napoli would point out it had 50 matches lost due to injury last season, while some clubs, such as AC Milan, had far more. Critics would point out that probably had more to do with Milan players being old farts than sex fiends. Well…besides Kevin Prince Boateng.

Asshole
September 11th, 2012 at 12:38 PM
Tough rule to enforce, I would think.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:39 PM
Nicely done fontes
I don’t think any jeresey’s look cooler than another. It’s all just colours and sponsors.
Unless she can get her hands on a TOFFS shirt. Very retro stuff…no sponsor logos

No sex 2 full days before a match? Fuck those guys!
…
Well, you know what I mean.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:41 PM
Doctors note for blowjob days.

It is not the usual hogwash about ejaculation depleting the masculine essence.
please… it’s a god damn fact that it causes you to lose your legs, edge, etc.
fact.
September 11th, 2012 at 12:45 PM
No kidding. I could have been all pro if I wasn’t so good looking and getting so many dames.
back to dreamland now

If I was going to pick one from this year, team aside, I think it would be Queens Park Rangers. Some of kits will be tougher to find than others, so I’d look at the bigger clubs. I like Arsenal’s kit this year as well.

Read this as Mike Napoli was banned from sex…best of luck keeping the road beef away from that guy

doug b this is sweet, and i could spend a lot of time at that site, but do they sell in stores over there or just online? i don’t want to ask her to buy online as i could do that

couldnt tell you if they are sold in stores there or not. They def ship stateside though.
TOFFS are the only shirts worth getting! Pricey but if you don’t want to advertise for some company…it’s they way to go!

If you want a nice looking jersey without getting one of the bigger teams, I’d recommend having her track down a Swansea City one:

This page has a lot of pictures of most of this year’s Premier League jerseys, maybe glance through it: http://maofootball.wordpress.com/201213-premier-league-kits/

I experience significant swelling during sex so this doc may just have a point.

thanks doug b and huskerteers

First time I read this, I thought it meant that the coaches and training staff do specific work to prevent the players from wanting to have before a game.

First time I read this, I thought it meant that the coaches and training staff were passing out handies to prevent the players from wanting sex before a game.
