Colorado Avalanche Broadcaster Suffers Worst Fate Known To Man, Accidentally Takes A Sip From His Buddy's Spitter

People don't talk about the dangers of being a man in this world enough. Especially not in your early 20s when you're still living with roommates, or apparently when you're middle aged and working in an NHL broadcast booth. But at no point in their lives do women have to worry about accidentally picking up a cup to grab a drink and accidentally taking a big ol' gulp of dip spit. They'll never get it. 

It's repulsive. It happens to all of us at least once in our lives, and it's one of the most gruesome moments we experience. The fact that this man was able to continue on and not spend the rest of the game dry heaving is quite the accomplishment on its own. 

There really ought to be a designated spitter introduced to the world. Similar to how quarterbacks wear a red jersey at practice, there needs to be a special design for cups being used as spitters. Because as someone who never picked up the habit, I find it wildly reckless that folks can just use any old cup or empty beer can. Then you're hanging out with the fellas around a coffee table filled with countless cups and empty beer cans that look exactly alike, and you're just playing Russian roulette at that point. Keep your head on a swivel out there, men.
