Via Daily Mail:
The 17-year-old was sent to the emergency room in the evening after being struck in the gonads during a match in which he wasn’t wearing a protective guard.
Doctors recounting his injury in a case report revealed he ‘immediately developed significant scrotal pain’ after the ball hit him.
But then he threw caution to the wind and returned to the match after a ‘brief rest’, carrying on as normal and then going home afterwards.
Later that day, however, the pain got worse and he was sent to the emergency department at a hospital in Massachusetts. Doctors decided to operate the next day.
And this is a safer sport than football? I don’t recall any fractured balls happening during a football game.
