TRAGIC DEATH Soccer journalist Grant Wahl dead aged 48 in Qatar while covering World Cup two weeks after being detained
The U.S. Sun ^ | dec. 9, 2022 | Cheyenne R. Ubiera

Wahl’s agent, Tim Scanlan, told the New York Times that Wahl had been in the press tribune in the closing minutes of the quarterfinal game when he went into acute distress.

Scanlan said that he is believed to have died at a hospital or while he was being taken to one after feeling unwell.

“He wasn’t sleeping well, and I asked him if he tried melatonin or anything like,” Scanlan said. “He said, ‘I just need to like relax for a bit.’”

Eric believed foul play was involved after claiming his brother was receiving death threats over wearing a rainbow shirt in support of the LGBTQ+ community.

Rainbow colored t-shirts appear to be dangerous for one's health in Quatar.

Soccer journalism:

“Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, kick, run, run. run, run, run, run, run, kick, run, run, run, run, run, run...”

At least he died doing what he loved - shoving deviant sex down other people’s throat during athletic events

Let me guess, he died from boredom.

In this story from the Sun, I didn’t find it mentioned but another source said he had been tested for COVID and had bronchitis. Yet, this says cardiac arrest, not a lung condition.

The autopsy results should be interesting. If we are allowed to see them.

I think we can assume that his vaccinations were up to date.

He posted on social media he was “thrilled” to have gotten his first shot (April ‘21 I think). I would imagine he’s utd.

LOL. His wife’s twitter thread makes her look like she’s a paid “influencer” for Pfizer and Moderna.

And of course its heavy on racism and covid too.

And while she promotes the vaxx, her cuck husband travels to the mideast to promote homosexuality.

Are these people for real????

Guessing he was already autoimmune compromised based on the shirt.

I’m part of the small number of Freepers who actually played soccer at a high level and love the game. Wahl has been a knowledgeable soccer reporter and analyst I have read for quite a few years. His “liberal” views have become more obvious over the years, but his soccer analysis was still worth reading.

I speculate that his death is simply another of those “sudden deaths” with “no known cause” that seem to inordinately strike the fully and recently vaxed.
