This has happened in the past a few times and it was so rare that it made national news and was talked about for decades after in the case of reggie lewis. A player, chris bosh, was forced to medically retire when he was a top 15 player for blood clots.

But at most this happened in the NBA once a decade. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward if they were really injected.

Jiri Fisher was a nhl player and went into cardiac arrest in the 90s or early 2000s as well. But that's it. Basically a handful of athletes over decades. Now that it's 2020/2021 it's a regular occurrence

40???? OK we need a list asap brother, can you do it?

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Yeah i have a feeling that number is being pulled out of thin air.

Hey, 83.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

That's not true 36.8% of the time.

My friend shit himself in the starting blocks in a track meet once. Thought it was a fart.

At the pro level, this is new. I don't remember people having cardiac arrests on their sports field during a game. Amateur, that's a different beast because there's about 300 kids that start football practice in high school and die from some unknown heart condition or dehydration. I don't recall where I got the 300 number from, but it was in a story where a local high school football player dropped dead on the practice field from more than a decade ago.

The lists I can find (wikipedia unfortunately) suggests there are a decent number of athletes that die on the field (or within short order of injuries received on field,) and the Youth Sports Safety Alliance suggests are are maybe (average) 50 deaths a year of <18yo players. Statistics go back to the turn of last century for some things.

I can't find any evidence that so many have died all at once. That's the interesting part about this data point.

That was a little nigger kid he took a really big hit to the head not long before he died.

I coached HS football for years. We're talking a handful of kids per year with most of it from heat exhaustion. Being dehydrated and going into heat stroke does give you a heart attack. It does happen though, one kid from the jv level after our game almost died. He fell on the football on his chest with some fat linemen on top and he was out after that. Not sure if that did it or not. I coached a kid with tachycardia and needed surgery. Nothing like this though, the numbers will go up too.

Yes. Many times. It happens often enough that we know almost all the reasons, too.

Enlarged Heart Syndrome is often the cause of these world class athletes collapsing and dying right on the field/court.

Other reasons are steroid use (elevates your hematocrit count which means it thickens your blood), erythropoietin doping, illegal stimulants (meth, cocaine), dehydration (no excuse with all the modern science we have available, for this happening), and heat exhaustion (can happen in ice cold weather, in sports).

And all vaxxed

[–] • 0 pt

With the dead athletes, it would be great to know the % of vaxed vs non vaxxed.

[–] • 0 pt

Supposedly, they are all vaxxed. Now, how many are going the Rodgers route? That's the real question that needs to be answered.

Soccer. Those faggots are always dropping for one reason or another.

Let's not forget how the MSN is normalizing SCAD in young fit and healthy women. SCAD is essentially an aortic dissection. It's extremely rare and they are acting as if this is some weird anomaly that it's becoming less rare... at what point is none of this shit rare , collectively, but is doing what the shot was intended to do?

i've seen a boxer stop a match shouting hol up!!! i gotta go shit!!! then ran off for 20 minutes while the other guy was standing there like wtf?!?!

guy came back and basically threw the match when it resumed, guess he felt bad or something.

otherwise never seen anything worse than a typical injury.
