When I first saw Swain go down, I was pretty sure he was faking it, but I finally found video of him walking before he went down. Check out the gif I made.

A couple of points. First he is slow getting up, but I had to chop it out of the gif. Second, look at his right foot. He is walking with it turned out to the side, almost at a 2 O'clock position. He also seems to be slightly dragging it as well. By the time he gets to the "C" it's pretty noticeable.

Also, he barely makes it inside the numbers. There is no way he is getting any signal from a coach to fake an injury through a sea of bodies running on the field or through the Arky huddle which would block his field of vision.

Don't take this to the Rant it would ruin all the fun

Oh hell no, I don't wanna ruin the fun. Very seriously doubt anyone would pay attention anyway. It would probably go over like a turd in a punch bowl

It's the equivalent of the Zapruder film (Kennedy assassination video for the younger kids here). It shows everything, but there is just no way Swain acted alone.

Definitely a second gunman who finished him off.

I'm actually not surprised by it at all. Could he have faked it, sure.

However, back in high school I scored a goal for my soccer team where a guy came and nailed my knee. It didn't hurt at first, so I jogged back to our side of the field, however when I stopped moving, all of a sudden it was unbearable. I immediately went down and got helped off the field.

That was exactly what I thought happened to him when I saw it. Looks bizarre as hell, but it does happen.

Thank You!
I saw this during the game, as the idiot announcers were screaming "See he is even walking fine" I was yelling at the top of my lungs "you idiots, he is obviously limping!"
I couldn't figure out how to gif it though

I really think he tweaked it a bit, but then flopped on his own because he was supposed to sub and he knew he wouldnt be able to go and get off the field in time.
