They could have easily been stopped by the Powerpuffs, though Blossom insists that Righteous and Lefty be allowed to do it because the girls needed to respect their elders.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Deconstructed in "Bills Are Made To Be Broken". After Bill's record for most touchdowns at Arlen High is unfairly broken, Hank finds out that Bill is technically eligible to play and tie the record ([[GracefulLoser even though Bill was okay with it being broken]]). However, in the 20+ years since Bill last played football, the fact that he's a fat, out-of-shape man in his 40s makes him not as energetic as he used to be and tires out quickly, saying that he can train or play the game; he can't do both. And when he plays the game, he keeps on going and scores, but the younger players piling on him quickly takes a toll on his body, managing to break his legs. And while he gets that touchdown, he's unable to move and is presumably carted off and has to rehab.
