I was in the sport business for decades and one DOESN'T read fairly frequently, only RARELY, about young people dying during/after sporting events. When that does unfortunately happen it makes the national news. It is VERY rare.

Very sad for this fellow, his family and the others on the airplane.
RIP young man.
Amen to that.
You are way off base there. I helped out with my kids teams; attended many practices; refereed; attended all league events; went to team get togethers and parents' meetings. For parents involved with their kids' sports, it is ANYTHING BUT a babysitter. It is an investment in building your kids' character, integrity, determination, grit, drive, and perseverance.
