Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box dies

[robertt]

WOW!!! He was our starting linebacker for next year. He has had some back problems but supposedly over that. What a shock! More to follow I'm sure, we just heard about it here in Oklahoma. So much lost at such a young age. RIP

Heard a report of the 911 call being that he may have overdosed on painkillers.........

Too many young athletes are dying for reasons that never should happen, ever. Coaches turn blind eyes to what these kids are doing, they know it's happening and yet claim ignorance. Whatever happened to simply working out without the enhancement material?

That's what they are saying, "Preliminary" report is that is was an OD.

As far as "working out without the enhancement material", it's like everything else I guess, Botox, Plastic surgeries, steroids, people MAKING themselves throw up, WHATEVER it takes to be the best or look the best.

Did you see the story of the lady in CA giving her 8yr old daughter Botox injections to hide wrinkles because she participates in pagents? It's ALL insanity as far as I'm concerned.

It looks like that Botox story has turned out to be a hoax. It's ridiculous these days the amount of people doing this stuff from athletes to the general public.
