Another 17 year old dies in basketball practice
Breaking news on Friday 8-11-23. This 17 year old kiddo, who was a top recruit for his class, collapsed and died while training/exercising/practicing.
How many more of these do we need to see before we admit the problem here? Top level athletes should not be dying. Passing it off as “oh they probably had an unknown genetic issue” is garbage. These elite level players have had more medical testing than the average teen. Organizations looking to make money from these kids don’t do so blindly. These kids have been through more physicals and testing than imaginable. You don’t get full ride schollies for sports without one these days.
Condolences to this family who lost an amazing young man, destined to potentially have the career of his dreams someday, suddenly ended at age 17.
So damn sad. It blows my mind that they continue to bury their heads in the sand and put money over people
I've been playing softball for a long, long time now (because I'm old), but this last year I saw something completely new and unexpected -- a vigil to a local 20 something softball nut who 'suddenly died'.
If anybody suspects the jab, they're not talking.
