    I don't know which part is worse, that she died or her father had to witness the death of his child.

    You're probably right, since he just can't stop himself from posting like an asshole.

    You folks have delivered the message better than I could. Agree it was big-time classless.
    Sympathy to the family.

    I hope her family can best understand and cope with this tragedy.

    To people with a better memory than I have...

    People dieing on the court, field and mat, was this happening 20 and 30 years ago?

    Is this a case of the internet flattening the world?

    Or are there just more kids dieing playing sports?

    And if so, why?

    You know you're wrong and can't admit it. Just step up and say it. You HAVE to know you inserted your foot in your mouth. We all have done it. We type things without thinking.
    But to be snarky cuz other people have taken offense to it, that's not cool.

    Anyway, I know cuz I don't have 15,000 posts you'll probably just crap all over what I just said, but I just felt the need to say it.

    May her family find peace and may she RIP.

    We had the same thing happen with a player last October, basketball as well. The coach used the defib kit to save a life. Just an amazing story.

    This is just awful. RIP to the girl and I hope her family and friends find peace.

    And Tripp, don't worry about your post count giving or taking away credibility. As poin is showing perfectly well in this thread, post count is no indication of class or maturity. Or in his case, the complete lack thereof.
