I'm not sure if word of this has gotten around, but apparently Africa has a really bad AIDS problem. That's why it's good to know that so many young Africans are using condoms… to hold their socks up when they play soccer.
As part of their pre-match kitting up, some Cape Town soccer players are slipping on condoms on their feet, so that their socks can stay up longer during matches.
These creative sportsmen have discovered an innovative way of using condoms to secure and keep up their football socks, in the absence of expensive soccer socks, elastic or rubber bands.
Hmmmm… well, I guess I understand. As long as it keeps soccer from spreading any further around the world.

she's obviously running away from that savage. the condoms on his feet show he means business.
It's all fun and games until you get the foot clap.
Africa has a really bad AIDS problem
define "bad"
So…umm…are they tying unrolled condoms around their calves? Or, are they sliding their feet/legs into the base ring? Because, well, I need to meet the man who needs a condom so large that it fits over a kid's leg.
Hmmm….condoms on your feet? All I can say is that they either have REALLY small feet in South Africa or really large…uh…..oh wait, never mind.
Pleased to make your acquaintance, Smello Redux.
Condoms for your socks? What's next, a lawyer for your hair?
I see even the more advanced African nations still rely on lion dung and bloodborne pathogens as primary exports.
…which was the style at the time"
I would say give it a "condoms" tag, but on a sports blog I don't think that would get much useage.
I use the reservoir tip to hold my orange slices.
This completely redefines the term 'Fingerbang'. Phalanges.
So do these soccer players have really small feet? Or are the condoms huge in Africa?
Joe Barely Cares…… I think you just answered your own question.
Having ribbed shins is great for ball control.
Safe sex, not so much.
After all, they put AIDS in the condom.
