Oh OK, He's Just Getting a Placenta Massage...Wait, What?


Since I am American, and not extremely lame, I know very little about professional soccer players. But apparently some guy that is very good (Robin van Persie) ruptured several ligaments in his ankle. Apparently this is bad since he has been integral to Arsenal (perhaps this is the name of some team) scoring 8 goals in his last 11 games (that is good I think). But what IS interesting is the fact that van Persie is not taking this lying down, in fact he is using some cutting edge therapies to get his ankle back on track:

“I will fly to the Balkans to meet with a female doctor who helped Lazovic. She is vague about her methods but I know she massages you using fluid from a placenta. I’m going to try. It cannot hurt and if it helps, it helps. I’ve been in contact with Arsenal physiotherapists and they have let me do it.”

Awesome. Vague Methods? Placenta? Balkans? Recipe for success, in fact you'd be stupid NOT to do this. Personally if I was in charge of this I would just fill a sock with ground up placenta pieces and then have him put it on. Nothing vague about that! BOOOOYAH

"Both teams played hard...goodnight and godbless."
