Tua’s prophylactic ankle surgery.

[clownfish]

I remember arguing with many fans who were against the Tua pick and thought he was injury prone, citing his multiple surgeries. Well two of those surgeries were to prevent FUTURE high ankle sprains, hence the elective and preventative nomenclature. That ankle getting rolled up on him today should have caused a major sprain, but he was back in there the next series. Looks like those surgeries worked!!! I will repeat, Tua has only had ONE needed surgery. He is TOUGH as nails.

Um.

Do you know what a prophylactic is?

Um.

Do you know what a prophylactic is?

Something you do in advance to prevent illness or injury (or pregnancy).

Like a rubber!

Yup. Do you?

Like a rubber!

Well, yeah. Something used to prevent the spread of disease.

I have no idea how serious today's injury would have been, but if it would have been the dreaded high ankle sprain, the surgery saved him.

 

[The Goat]

Yup. Do you?

Yes. Are you suggesting high ankle sprains are contagious?

Really wasn’t. Weird word usage.

Pursue at your own risk.

Keep it up, dude. You are looking smarter and smarter. Google is your friend. I’m not.

 

[The Goat]

Keep it up, dude. You are looking smarter and smarter.

Okay, genius. Go ahead and suggest Tua uses a body condom to protect against future injuries.

 

[Fin Fan in Cali]

Keep the peace in here. Use the ignore feature or call it a night if you need to.

I used prophylactic as an adjective, not a noun. And I really think it helped prevent a major injury.

 

[Sirspud]

Gotta keep that ankle protected for sure.

Fair enough. And I TOTALLY agree that the tightrope surgery helped prevent future injury.

And I wasn’t trying to make you look stupid. Swear. But prophylactic, 99% of the time, means condom.

I was like...wait, what?
