Katie Meyer, Stanford Soccer Player, Found Dead on Campus
New York Post ^ | March 2, 2022 | Ethan Sears

Katie Meyer, the goaltender for Stanford’s women’s soccer team, passed away in a campus residence, the school announced on Wednesday.

“Katie was extraordinarily committed to everything and everyone in her world,” Stanford vice provost for student affairs Susie Brubaker-Cole and athletic director Bernard Muir said in a message to the campus community on the university’s communications site. “Her friends describe her as a larger-than-life team player in all her pursuits, from choosing an academic discipline she said ‘changed my perspective on the world and the very important challenges that we need to work together to overcome’ to the passion she brought to the Cardinal women’s soccer program and to women’s sports in general. Fiercely competitive, Katie made two critical saves in a penalty shootout against North Carolina to help Stanford win its third NCAA women’s soccer championship in 2019. Katie was a bright shining line for so many on the field and in our community.

Meyer, a senior, majored in international relations and minored in history. She was a team captain for Stanford. A Burbank, Calif., native, Meyer has two sisters, Samantha and Siena.

They’re treating all those vaxxed ppl because the unvaxxed refused to do their duty to society and get jabbed. Or something like that. /s

I guess it’s verboten to ask vaccine status, although this case may be something else.
Our local paper censored my comment when they did a story on a HS athlete who nearly died from a “mystery” neurologic illness last year. While they had ruled out MS and brain cancer, they had no explanation for the lesions on her brain that suddenly appeared and are improving. I pointed out that they made no mention about whether she was vaccinated last year and they removed my comment without explanation or warning. Hmm!

If it was suicide, they usually include a sentence that says something along the lines of “authorities say there is no danger to the community at large”.

Exactly.

My wife has a childhood friend who is on the fringe of the moonbat liberals and who used to come unhinged at the mention of GMO’s.

And of course she was first in line for the Moderna shots.

I told her she’s a GMO now and the result was pretty spectacular.

To her credit, she called me the next day to apologize. It’s a small thing, but I am hoping the message got through to her.

She said she ‘overreacted’ and that I was actually right about the shot genetically altering people. She said she already knew this but had not stopped to really think about it.

“Jab or no Jab” would make a good quiz show.

“Future deep stater.”

That makes it not as tragic as it first seemed.

It had nothing to do with vax’s or Covid.

I know some will say that people of all ages fall over dead so this is nothing new.

But I remember my college days fairly well. Immediately after WWII. I enrolled along with the first guys on the GI Bill. Guys with grey hair, guys that had spent a couple of years in prison camps after being shot down, guys that drank too much.....and I do not remember one death during my time a UNC Chapel Hill except a few who tried to knock down trees with their cars and one good friend who crashed during an air show.

The university was nowhere near the size it is today, but it was big enough to have a cross section of university life in the US.

That is your comment about a tragic death when you don’t know the dead, don’t know any facts and don’t have any inside info.

What an a$$hole.

So sad and so young. As a parent of a female college soccer player, I assumed suicide and hope I’m wrong. It isn’t a game for a lot of players (especially at the D1 level— I can’t even imagine elite D1) and the physical and emotional demands can exacerbate mental health issues. Prayers for her family, friends and teammates.

That would be terrible. I thought college athletes were less likely to take their lives. She was a team captain. It will awful for her team if that happened.

I am sorry for your family’s loss. Our son just started his Physician Assistant program in August of 2020 and was required to get a vaccination. I could not talk him out of it since he had been determined to go into this profession since his junior year in high school. So far no problems but I worry about his health going forward. I leave it in God’s hands. There are some things we cannot control. God bless your daughter.
