A high school football player in Florida died after collapsing on the field during a game Friday night, according to the school district's superintendent.

Gulf District Schools Superintendent Jim Norton confirmed that Chance Gainer, an 18-year-old wide receiver and defensive back at Port St. Joe High School, died following the away game at Liberty County High School.


Norton described Gainer's death as a "tragic loss" and said "our community is in profound sorrow."

"He was a remarkable athlete, a beloved teammate, and an overall exceptional young man who loved Jesus," Norton said in a statement from the district. "Chance was quiet but exuded captivating warmth and genuineness that drew people to him."

Norton called Gainer's death "perhaps the most heartbreaking situation imaginable for a family and a community."

Port St. Joe High School Principal Sissy Godwin said in the statement that, "You may not have heard Chance in the crowd, but you could see his smile from across the room."

Gainer was tended to on the field after he collapsed but did not have a pulse when EMTs first arrived at the scene, NBC News affiliate WJHG reported. Medical personnel were able to find a pulse before Gainer was rushed via ambulance to a hospital in Blountstown, Florida, where he later died.

Yep, this happens. Was happening way back in the 70s and 80s when I was in high school.

There are thousands of theses incidents all happening in 2021-2024 after these kids were forced to get COVID vaccines.

There were thousands of these incidents before we ever heard of Covid or a Vaccine.

• The overall incidence of sudden cardiac death in NCAA athletes has decreased over the last 20 years.
• The sudden cardiac death rate remains highest among specific cohorts, including NCAA Division I Black and White basketball players with a risk of >1:2,000 over a 4-year college career.
• There were no cases of death attributable to COVID-19 myocarditis.

The American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that approximately 2,000 people under the age of 25 die from sudden cardiac arrest in the U.S. each year. It is the leading cause of death in young athletes in the United States – resulting in 1 death in a high school student every 3 days, according to some experts.

The Scary Side of Sports: Cardiac Death

Discussions about the dangerous effects of concussions in young athletes have gained national attention. But another threatening condition is equally deserving of coverage: sudden cardiac arrest.

that is a falsehood sir. the numbers of young athletes dying since the shots is off the charts. The number of adults in denial about the harms of the shots is also off the charts.

Nope you're wrong.

Steroids are to easily obtained by these young athletes.

the numbers of young athletes dying since the shots is off the charts.

lets see them.

Provide the numbers.

are you going to blame the covid shot?...

Are you going to admit there’s a possibility that it was?

anything is a possibility. It is a possibility he was hit by a death ray from Marvin the Martian

Show me data, not anecdotes.

Would you admit that it’s much more of a possibility than being shot by a cartoon character? IIRC, there were no long term tests done on these vaccines. Hyperbole and false equivalence aren’t effective retorts, TBH.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Are you going to admit there’s a possibility that it was?

sure ...will you admit that it may have nothing to do with it?...

 

[Kilroy2]

The only entity that could make that decision is by whomever is doing the autopsy and the finding.

If others are making that decision then it is inappropriate. I would still say its inappropriate even if he was. He died and that should be the end of discussion.

Of course I’ll admit that. I don’t even know if the kid was vaccinated.

A high school athlete dying suddenly is a concern for everyone, especially if the possibility of a Covid vaccine comes in to play.
End of discussion my ass. Cop out.

That's so sad.

So you say a possibility but sounds like you made a decision

or buy into the hype

End of discussion will be the report identifying cause of death not speculation by the believers

Seven people have died while playing football this year

200 students have died in the past 10 years playing high school sports is an estimate being reported but it sounds like the true figure is not none.

Protections for high school athletes are being ignored. Kids are dying as a result.

An in-depth look at sudden death in youth sports and the struggle to assure every athlete has a fighting chance when the worst happens.

So there is a problem somewhere and bandwagon mentality does not help

I made no decision. That’s the point. The possibility is very real so it remains a legit issue until it’s solved.
Sounds more like you just don’t want to know for fear it could be the vaccine.

Yes they're happening for years ..youd hear about it once and awhile ...but after trumps super safe and effective warp speed vaxxxxxes that save trillions upon trillions of lives those numbers jumped ... dramatically

I've posted em in the past as did other members of usmb ...

Probably in conspiracy theories ...lol cause misinformation!

I saw a Walgreens commercial just early this morning with a couple scheduling little Johnny's updated flu and covid shots ....he was a mixed Asian white kid of course so he probably won't die on a play field but will probably go out face down on a chess board .......

I'm just saying

Kennedys right
The vax schedule for American kids needs to be scrutinized
They get to many and then high rate of autism and other conditions that have sprouted in recent years ....
Makes ya think something ain't right

Keep your teenage daughters away from that hpv vax
Young healthy girls develope leukemia out of nowhere after that vaxxxxx at an alarming rate

Teenage girls need the HPV vax because they must have sex. It’s the new law of nature.
