Watch This Poor Ball Boy Get Cracked In The Face With A Soccer Ball At Point-Blank Range

Soccer can be a dangerous sport—not just for the players, but for ball boys as well. That’s what this poor fellow found out during a 2-1 game between Saint-Étienne and Tîrgu Mureş in France’s Ligue 1. Saint-Étienne forward Nolan Roux kicked the ball, likely with the intention of getting it out of play into the stands. Instead, the ball smacked the ball boy right in the kisser.

Being a ball boy is a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
