You don’t have to rely on Free Republic rumors for data on soccer player deaths. PubMed was doing studies years ago pre-covid. Like this one from 2015:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25289716/
“Mortality in international professional football (soccer): a descriptive study”
I dunno if actual studies are anathema or not when they aren’t found at the Daily Expose and other fine sites of highbrow science.
Or...read the article posted at the top of this page.
p.s. Your link is as irrelevant to this thread as Chase's cut and paste of dead soccer homos.
