Florida Player Collapses..in critical condition

[Mikemarc]

No it is not - when I heard the news I immediately thought of a Hank Gathers situation. Yet some on this board already had all sports cancelled - weird and sad.

Everyone who feared sport’s would be cancelled said “IF” it’s covid. Again in the world we are living in its not weird to think. Yet agree it is sad this is the world today

Saturday's Florida vs Florida Atlantic game might also be rescheduled to Nov. or Dec. 2021.

Wrong. Read the posts. One jerk wants the season to be cancelled until it is determined it is not COVID related . There Is no “if” in some peoples fear fulled minds.

“Some on this board” is your quote. To me meaning more than one. Now you’re saying it’s just one.

Everyone except that one person has said IF it’s determined to be Covid, college hoops is done. This is not an irrational thought

just stop. I prove you wrong and you go to some ridiculous argument. Take your medicine. Sorry you can think what you want but the COVID posts are Irrational given the facts about COVID and those 21 and younger.

Why so angry? What medicine do you want me to take?

 

[Mikemarc]

Why so angry? What medicine do you want me to take?

And I totally agree with you. Not likely covid given the stats.

But if Covid...yes i see an overreaction like this whole summer has been and fear hoops may be paused.

 

[Letitrip]

Not angry at all - just tired of all the panic. Maybe take the vaccine.

I ain’t touching that vaccine.

Again it’s one person that panicked in this thread...calling for hoops to pause

Most people see that it’s possible IF it’s Covid, hoops will be paused. That’s not a crazy thought given the hysteria this summer

Have fun the next year living in your basement. And don’t drive in a car given that over sadly 3000 kids 21 or under died in car wrecks this year and just as sadly less than 130 of that age group have passed because of COVID ( most had other issues). Using your logic even if the vaccine works (likely) and COVID is irradiated college sports should stop because some players may drive a car to a home game.

What is your deal dude? I’ve been living like normal. I’m not afraid at all.

I agree with EVERYTHING you are saying.

I don’t THINK hoops should be paused if it’s proven it’s a factor. But I think it will be cause our society has overacted

I may have misinterpreted your reply’s. just amazed at this board and the deluge of panic posts over the last several months. Life has risks and it is sad to see so many not understand that.

Totally agree.

What happened to Keyontae is terrible and very unfortunate. Anyone who is speaking about a young man's health, whose life may forever be changed, without knowing what happened is doing a severe disservice to him and the world.

This falls in line with "bad headlines only" mentality. and the new journalism of "first to report" vs "right". Player collapses which probably happens once or twice a year will now immediately get linked to covid. Everyone asks us not to judge other people when bad thinks happen yet when it comes to a scary headline we immediately start saying covid.

Unfortunately for people who live under a rock, covid isnt the only sickness in the world. Considering we have been playing professional, college, high school and AAU sports for months now and this is the first time a player has been seriously injured maybe we should pump the breaks on the "covid caused him to collapse" rhetoric.

Lastly for the myocarditis folks, if you google myocarditis, you will find that it is not a new condition and covid is not the only illness to potentially cause it. Below are some known causes of myocarditis per mayo clinic and myocarditis foundation.

- Covid(the only one anyone knows about)
- hepatitis B
- hepatitis C
- slapped check syndrome
- herpes simplex virus
- Coxsackie Virus
- mono
- rubella
- HIV
- staphylococcus
- streptococcus
- Lyme disease
- penicillin
- sulfonamide medications
- anti-seizure medications
- cocaine
-carbon monoxide
-Chagas disease
- lupus
- wegener's granulomatosis
- giant cell arteritis
- takayasu's arteritis
- alcohol abuse
- chlamydia

Ah Dr. First Google search result of "causes of myocarditis". Nice.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Espn reporting he is no longer in a coma.

 

[Mikemarc]

I fear he has bad brain damage. Just pure speculation..

 

[Russ Wood]

Espn reporting he is no longer in a coma.

To be clear, that was a medically induced coma controlled by sedation. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I fear he has bad brain damage. Just pure speculation..

Pray that he doesn't. It is good news that he is responsive to simple commands.

 

[LETSGORU91]

No one can say if this is Covid 19 related or if the virus played no role.
We should just hope for the best and not make claims it was reason , or deny involved , when we don't know if, either, is true or not.

Absolutely hope for a full and speedy recovery. He should have had a multitude of tests completed after having Covid a few months ago. Comparing those tests to the present day can help explain a possible Covid correlation to his current condition

College Basketball should halt playing till they find out if this was related to Covid.
Also all the players are coaches must be vaccinated to continue the season.

Florida BB program is in big trouble for not catching what he had during the physical.

Good one! This is wrong on so many levels I don't even want to take the time to explain to you how silly your response is.

To all the idiots who immediately tied this to covid - panic and fear are a terrible way to live. I strongly suggest you get yours “news” from multiple sources. You are all making asses of yourselves

I don't feel people are panicking and in fear because a player collapsed. He had a prior diagnosis of Covid, so it is relevant to the conversation and it could be Covid related. If you are referring to the few, sillier posts on here, they are just that..silly. Otherwise it's a rational discussion on a discussion board.

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Ah Dr. First Google search result of "causes of myocarditis". Nice.

Not sure if this is a dig or not but as i said right before listing all the issues that cause myocarditis all you have to do is google myocarditis and you can find that covid is not the only cause. which i then listed.

This is important because many people today in the world think covid can casue all deaths such as someone dying in a car accident, someone dying of a drug overdose, or someone being shot in the head. i know it is tough to decipher so we need to be very specific when speaking about covid...

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

are there any head issues from him hitting his head on the floor? I watched the video and as russ said it was a pretty gruesome sound and definitely should not have watched it.

 

[zappaa]

I fear he has bad brain damage. Just pure speculation..

I pray he doesn’t.

 

[BillyC80]

Praying for this young man.

Depending on age and any conditions you should consider vaccinating . Unnecessary fear being spread by anti vax proponents. Not only them but msm and some inner city morons. The best is when I read the most impacted part of the population poll says only 60% will take it... guaranteed in 5-6 months they’ll claim they got bypassed and screwed by Donald Trump... This isn’t thalidomide .

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Breathing on his own...

story was written from tweet above...

 

[Russ Wood]

Easily the best thing I've read all month.

 

[knight82]

If he is speaking with people that is fantastic news!

I’ve never been vaccinated for anything. It’s not that I’m afraid of it..I e just never needed any vaccination, fortunately.

 

[RUBOB72]

It’s really shouldn’t surprise anyone... If you went to school back in the 60’s -70’s you more than likely got vaccinated... if you served in the military you were always vaccinated... the anti vaxers came about after the Thalidomide issues... I won’t be the one to say “ you either get vaccinated or you can’t fly here, work there, go to school anywhere. You are either older than dirt or a kid who was from another country . I am surprised you claim I never had to be vaccinated for anything especially living in the USA

I never claimed anything about you. I’ve never needed vaccination.

 

[RUBOB72]

I never claimed anything about you. I’ve never needed vaccination.

I never said you claimed anything about me....You made mention about not getting the vaccine...Honestly I could care less whether you take it or not. Just believe ” if you are not “scared maybe a safety net would be explore taking it... just be happy you never had to or your parents and schools never required you to be vaccinated . Many schools even Universities require vaccinations for a number of diseases... if we can believe some people there will be required COVID 19 vaccine required for flying, international travel and even in business.... Did you grow up in the USA? There are many anti vaxxers but more who will need to evaluate and decide is the uncertain risk worth it. There are medical facilities and nursing care facilities who require vaccinations.

Yes I grew up in Jersey.

If I’m required to take it I’ll certainly take it. Again nothing against them..definitely not anti vax. Just never considered them

I understand but even still finding it difficult to believe you have never had any injections for anything. You probably should thank the previous generations for vaccinating against some childhood diseases... Boomers got all those diseases ... chickenpox ... measles ...mumps... you are very lucky to say the least... Good Luck .

 

[zappaa]

When you turn 50 or if you have already, get the Shingles vaccine.
To me, anyone over 50 that doesn’t get the Covid Vaccine likes the possibility of ventilators and incubation better.
Great new about this young man

 

[MADHAT1]

Glad to hear the young man seems on the way to recovery.
But sorry some feel the need to argue over issues they seem to want associated with this kid's collapsing

 

[RUMountie]

Thank God this young men seems to be recovering. I pray he makes a full recovery.

 

[S.W.A.I.N]

This could have NOTHING to do with Covid but b/c of the times we are living in..it’s gonna be Covid related, unfortunately.

But this could have everything to do with it. Your personal politics aside.
