Healthy Florida High School Football Player, 18, Drops Dead during Game
Daily Fetched ^ | September 09, 2024 | Jason Walsh

n 18-year-old Florida wide receiver and defensive back for Port St. died on Friday after collapsing in the middle of a game at Liberty County High School.

Port St. Joe athletic director and vice principal Tim Davis told the Northwest Florida Daily News that Chance Gainer was running toward the play before suddenly falling to the ground.

Coaches rushed to Gainer’s aid before calling paramedics to the scene.

“He just went to the ground suddenly,” Davis told the outlet.

Gainer was taken to a hospital in an ambulance but tragically died.

According to Davis, there were just four minutes left in the game when school officials learned of the teen’s death.

The decision was made to finish the game with Port St. Joe winning 28-0.

Gainer’s death was later confrimed with his teammates.

Parents came down on the field to comfort their kids in a heartbreaking scene.

“Such a helpless feeling,” Davis said.

Gulf County School Superintendent Jim Norton told WJHG-TV that Gainer was an honors student who visited Vanderbilt University to discuss possibly attending there.

Gainer “had world-class speed, but more importantly, had a world-class personality,” Norton said.

The news comes amid a report that young and healthy sports players continue to drop dead.

In August alone, there were seven deaths of high school and middle school football players.

Here are just a few:

Former Iowa Football Player, 23, Dies Suddenly

High School Football Player, 17, Dies after ‘Cardiac Arrest’ in His Sleep

Young Football Star Needs a New Heart After Major Heart Attack

Buffalo Bills Player Damar Hamlin, 24, Suffers Cardiac Arrest During Game

Marty McNair, father of 19-year-old Jordan McNair of Randallstown, Maryland, who died during a game, told Fox News that parents should prioritize their children‘s safety first.

In 2023, the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research reported 16 total football-related deaths – nine of those 6 victims were in middle or high school.

According to NCCSIR statistics, there were six football deaths in 2021, three in 2022, and two in 2023 over the past three academic years.

"nine of those 6 victims were in middle or high school."

I'm guessing grade school based on the math skills.

I think the author is “fetched” in the head, and obviously had too many COVID-19 shots.

I will take simple typo for $500.

They had previously stated the number was 16.

I would like to know if he went for the new round to death shots. The old ones did plenty of permanent damage too.

Hopefully the vax made the parents sterile so they can’t have any more kids.

I keep hearing “this happens all the time you just never hear about it”. Strange, all of a sudden we are hearing about this on a fairly regular basis.

In all my years neither I, nor anyone I know, or any news publication any of us have ever read, not even a radio or news broadcast reported the supposedly “thousands” of sudden deaths by young, healthy athletes.

And most everyone I know has always been associated one way or another with youth and college sports.

I guess all of us have lived a sheltered life - only rainbows and unicorns; insulated from the real world.

Anything that disrupts the narrative gets buried.

How has life expectancy moved?

What is the number of excess deaths?

What is the number of deaths in the last 10 years?

The last one is better because it is harder to fudge the numbers.

My uncle’s 13-year-old fully vaxed and very active grandson was playing ball at school when he suddenly went down. He was unconscious and was revived by CPR and a quick trip to the hospital by paramedics. This was caused by a stroke from a clot in his brain. He has permanent brain damage.

On the other side of my family... another uncle’s son who I who was always extremely active went down with a stroke from a clot while he was exercising. He also was fully vaxed and boosted. He is in his 50s, so it was a little less shocking. He also has permanent brain damage and his ability to support his family is completely gone.

During my life I have known quite a few people who have died. My wife is getting ready to go to her 50th class reunion at the end of the month. 15% of her classmates have already died, most in the last few years. It is hard to quantify what role the vaccinations played, but there has been an abrupt increase in death and serious health problems among both relatives and people I know in the last few years who had taken the covid vaccines. Even my own brother suffered from myocarditis.

If any/all of these were vaxx-related, and the young men didn't get boosters, then this was damage done after the first vaccination, years ago.

Deep State can hide a lot by screwing with stats.

Note the changes to medical coding since the CoupFlu vaxxes were approved.

And while they tried to pad the body count early on in the scamdemic, they can’t hide dead bodies now.

The dead do indeed have tales to tell.

I'd like to see Trump add this to his campaign promises.
