From "U.S. soccer journalist Grant Wahl dies after collapsing at World Cup match" (WaPo).
Wahl, 48, had written about some of his health issues in Qatar in the days leading up to his passing. Earlier this week, he wrote: “My body finally broke down on me. Three weeks of little sleep, high stress and lots of work can do that to you.”
He said he had a cold turn into something more serious on the night the United States played the Netherlands. “I could feel my upper chest take on a new level of pressure and discomfort,” he wrote.
ADDED: The Daily Mail puts it far more luridly: "Grant Wahl complained of 'death rattle' cough day before his shock death at World Cup and received 20 minutes of frantic CPR before dying in hospital: Gay brother suggests he was murdered."
39 Comments on Althouse: "In a well-covered incident at the tournament, Wahl was detained by Qatari security guards at a stadium when he arrived to a game wearing a rainbow soccer ball T-shirt."
anyone care to postulate whether his overdose was from Coke? or Adderall?
I'm guessing adderal"
Ignoring your health?"
Same here. I have to assume all these high-energy younguns are on some drug or other.
It's cheating, I tell ya."
A possible abortion motivated by [State] Choice. A plausible self-abortion through narcissistic indulgence. A probable George "Fentanyl" Floyd event forced by a progressive condition."
How much water was he drinking in probably hot very dry conditions his body was not suited to?
Qatar has an evil regime that killed thousands of slave laborers to build the stadium he was watching those stupid games in so I don't think they would be above killing him.
I just don't think they were industrious enough or clever enough to kill him surreptitiously. That isn't how middle eastern governments kill people."
Live by their rules and don't be an asshole are right near the top of the list.
It's not difficult, folks..."
The Western model of jurisprudence: judge the behavior, not the individual."
Affirmative Antagonism (AA). That said, a weak correlation, but the victim suffered from a progressive condition that preceded his detainment.
wrote that security guards refused to let him in
The same thing happened with Floyd and the mob assembled. In Charlottesville, a progression from nationwide mobbing, trapping, insurrections carried out by [anti]fascist mobs."
Maybe this guy was one of them. The unproven conspiracy theory that he was murdered, seems like left-wing projection. Or drama queens wanting drama."
THis guy was a complete dickhead toward Qatar. Talk about your colonialist attitude toward a small country! And disrespect toward Islam.
Too bad he's dead, but I'm not broken up about it."

Maybe. Or just maybe, with his spouse being a COVID-19 insider and vaccine promoter, he got boosted with the probably even more toxic bivalent experimental artificial mRNA gene therapy product (aka “vaccine”), and died as a result of its well known side effects. "
Sudden Progressive Viability Disorder (SPVD) is a well-known side-effect of the viral vector therapeutics in females, but especially in young males, where athletes with no known priors would spontaneously abort without warning.

How you get infected matters."
Albinophobia is not funny, and they are serious. #WhiteLivesMatter
... Peach, Black, Brown, Yellow, even Orange lives matter, too."
I'm going to guess that health care in Qatar is pretty damn good..."
She untucked her blouse and lowered the skirt. Voila. Their rules; no complaints."
Speculation on prescribed medicine possibly being tainted, perhaps intentionally, starts . . ."
It does make sense to have oil-rich countries that have more money than they know what to do with host events like the World Cup or the Olympics. Nobody else can afford it. Nobody wants the trouble and the debt. Next World Cup we are tripling up with Canada and Mexico to host. That makes sense. We still are hosting most of the matches."
I was wondering why our local (Seattle) news had not one, but TWO stories on their front page about a soccer scribe dying halfway across the world.
That explains it.
Our media is pathetic."
What a bitch. Would have been better off learning first that not all cultures like homos."
