It’s been known for a while now – like, at least two years – that professional athletes are some of the least healthy people in the world.

The people who stay healthy stay on the sofa, they eat hot chip, they play they phone. No have problem.

BBC:

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman BJ Thompson is “awake and responsive” after suffering a seizure and cardiac arrest in a team meeting.

Thompson, 25, was taken to hospital on Thursday following a Chiefs meeting.

“He’s headed in the absolute right direction,” said Rick Burkholder, the Chiefs’ vice president of sports medicine and performance on Friday.

“Our players, our security staff, everybody involved, coaches and staff, they were phenomenal in handling the crisis.”

The Chiefs cancelled a scheduled practice session after the medical emergency, with head coach Andy Reid and players delaying media sessions until Friday.

Thompson, selected in the fifth round of last year’s NFL Draft, played in one game for the Super Bowl winners last season.

This guy only made it to the NFL in 2023, but before that he played football at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas.

They didn’t have a vaccine mandate, but they did say they had a high vaccination rate among staff and players in August 2021.

Damn, boy. They be die?

I ain’t know people be die, son.

How it be like that?

Fox News:

Devon Wylie, a former NFL wide receiver who played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans, has died, his family and his alma mater Fresno State said Tuesday. He was 35.

Fresno State made the announcement of Wylie’s death on X.

“Forever a Bulldog,” the school’s football account wrote. “Our thoughts are with the Wylie family during this difficult time.”

Former teammates told KFSN-TV that Wylie had died. Wylie’s brother, Doug, also confirmed his brother’s passing on social media, according to the station.

Him a few months ago giving a musical performance. He was pretty bad, but looked healthy.

“I can’t believe this but that said this is a tremendous loss,” Fresno State special teams coordinator John Baxter wrote on X. “Being someone’s Coach is a blessing beyond words and a hardwired lifetime relationship. This is a tragic loss beyond words. What a great Bulldog, brother, son and teammate. We love you Devon Wylie! Bulldog Born…”

A cause of death was not given.

No.

No, of course not.

It shall forever remain a complete mystery why all of these young and seemingly healthy athletes are keeling over and dying for no reason.
