Nope. The reason for the physical was so some creepy dude could fondle my balls. No one just suddenly died growing up unless they suddenly hit a tree going too fast in a drunken stupor.
Your wrong. You’re from Bama and should know better.

I must be older than you because I do remember reading newspaper articles about high school athletes dieing of heart attacks.

Actually, I’m from Oklahoma and I learned how to read in grade school. I also learned how to do research. Here’s some relevent reading material for you:
Article titled: “Nontraumatic sports death in high school and college athletes”
From the abstract: “Over a 10-yr period, July 1983-June 1993, nontraumatic sports deaths were reported in 126 high school athletes (115 males and 11 females) and 34 college athletes (31 males and 3 females).”

Then there’s this one:
Article title: “Sudden deaths in young competitive athletes: analysis of 1866 deaths in the United States, 1980-2006”
Both of these articles investigate sudden deaths in young athletes over periods as early as 1980. That should lay to rest your claims that these are something new, they are not.
