That's amazing. My best friend, neighbor, and classmate since I was 4 was developing what we thought was minor injuries from some football practices, but thought he was okay and played in the Varisity game anyways on Sept 5. He seemingly suffered from a concussion on the field that day and taken to a hospital. Some of his blood vessels in his chest actually broke during the game and he had a ruptured and heart valve and his lungs filled up with fluid.
He died that night (RIP my friend). I can't watch, much less talk about football without getting emotional because that is basically what killed him.
