Also be careful all you bicycle riders. There are much more idiots driving these days than a few decades ago. A friend of mine got hit on his bicycle by a young uninsured driver who has so little to his name no lawyer will sue him. My friend got his shoulder messed up and is getting better....slowly

Tragic, sad, stupid and pointless all at the same time.

That’s why your mama always said, “Don’t play with your ball near traffic...”

I figured he would have been most in peril when he got to Mexico and El Salvador.....and not from trucks.

He was going to walk 6000 miles in flip flops?

Darwinism at its finest . . .
what an idiot, to dribble a soccer ball that far in only a year? He certainly had issues with math didn’t he?

The ball was found among his belongings in the crash wreckage on U.S. Highway 101.

Ahh, ok. That's important.

Real-time GPS tracker of soccer player Richard Swanson, who was trying to dribble a One World Futbol from Seattle to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. He was hit by a car and killed in Lincoln City, Ore.

But Swanson was mowed down by a pickup truck Tuesday morning south of Lincoln City

We need sensitivity training to overcome increasingly vicious anti-soccer attitudes in this country ....

Is it possible the ball got away from him and he stepped into traffic trying to retrieve it when he was hit? Focusing on the ball instead of situation awareness.

The wording is “plowed into him.” Notice little info in the story, lots of non important things.

Did the driver at least get a yellow card?

I’m thinking this just saved him from being murdered in Mexico/Guatamala/Honduras/Nicaragua/Colombia...

It was inevitable. Never have understood people who do these stunts. But, but it’s for a cause!!!

I thought the old “Go play in traffic” was meant as a joke - not to be taken literally.

He’s probably faking the injury

This story is a joke right?

Reads like a high school newspaper, and it has the aroma of the typical internet hoax.

Not that I care anyway.....

Carryon!

Wow, that’s tragic.. but why didn’t he take a secondary road? U.S. 101 is a damned busy highway.
