This one happened the other day. What are you saying? In my entire life, I've never seen so many pro sports figures and college stars die of heart attacks. Before the vax-plague, if it was one a year, it was a lot.
This is a real man-bites-dog type of story, since the subjects are so young and so fit--so you can be confident no editor would have been burying (so to speak) those stories before.
What am I saying?
I am saying to the original person (Proust) who asked, “Why does this keep happening??” that this is a new found posting phenomena here on Free Republic. It may, or may not, be happening more, but it most definitely is being posted hundreds of times more often on Free Republic since the COVID vaccines have been released.
Desirability of obits on Free Republic has never been at a greater high.
This is demonstrable by the incredible frequency of obits here over prior years.
Ever notice that Florida Man is only a recent phenomena, too? Why are so many Florida Man stories showing? It’s because it’s now funny to post on them over Iowa Man and Illinois Man, stories.
