Current Event Assignment

1. My article is about a 9 year old boy that died during football practice.

 

2.  I got this article from Fox News.

 

3.  The title of my article is:  9-year-old Ohio boy dies during football practice

 

4.  On November 2nd, a 9 year old boy died at football practice.  He was found unresponsive by a coach after running sprints.  When the medics arrived, CPR was preformed on him but he died later that night.

 

5.  This is very saddening.  I can’t imagine how bad his parents feel.  Also, I am sure that the coaches feel responsible and are wondering if they wouldn’t have pushed him too hard that he may still be alive.  It makes me concerned because conditioning is a part of every sport, and I don’t want to die without any warning after running one down and back too many.  I hope that his family and friends are okay.

 

6.  This can have an impact on the world.  Lately, there have been more deaths than ever during sports practices.  Many parents and members of the communities are going to start getting concerned about their kid’s safety.  This could cause debate, but some beneficial research could be found to possibly stop the deaths that keep happening.  Although I am sad for the boy, I do hope that the world could learn from him and figure out how hard you can physically push athletes until it becomes too much.
