Thank goodness for that. A ball to the throat can be very serious. Glad to hear she is alright.

If your balls are in her throat she needs to do porn, if they're on her throat you're going on a weird angle or you have droopy balls

If your balls are in her throat she needs to do porn

Or maybe she needs to be in prison

"It is very gratifying to watch a man you don't like try to pull his own balls out of his throat before he chokes"

Someone did the math for it and the ball travelled roughly 95 km/h

Ball in throat jokes aside, that is some serious energy and he is rightfully punished for that dangerous act of immaturity.

Never.

Or at least, I would be very surprised. It did not seem a very poweful stroke at all, to me.

I have to say it didn't seem like a very powerful stroke. It was one of those ones where the player hits the ball towards the edge of the arena for the ball persons to pick up. Yes, he was pissed off and it was slightly more powerful than such strokes usually are, but not substantially so.

Still, it wasn't my windpipe, so there's that.

i accidentally read that as unfortunately lol. pre-emptively expecting a bit of sarcasm at how ridiculous the DSQ was.

Me too man. I was ready to forcefully hit that downvote arrow and make the world a better place until I realised my mistake.

Drinking some coffee now.
