For The Game & Passion : A Sports Freewrite.

Say a word, put down the flag
Fans head bowed
Opponent in mood, the cloud isn't good
None would expect this doom
Of an incoming loom
The tears wouldn't stop to flow
We lost a bro.
...
...
And to the game we payed
Seeing each other above
From Daniel Kiluba to Alex Apolinário
Seeing in heaven was a bliss
For the game, the fun, the passion
They've crossed to the other side.
...
...
Maybe a care could
A check up or restraint would
A heart attack on the field is not good
So is a player not taking a clue
A run pass and a kick you're down
Basking for breath, turning brown
Siren didn't on time
So goes Radhakrishnan Dhanarajan.
...
...
We lost one too
Young at heart, swift as eagle
The day we expected a goal
Ended in tearful sorrow
We lost more than a soul
A brother, player, best friend went to sheol.
...
...
Hanging on the wall
Here they are
For the passion and for the game
In training and on the pitch,
From there we lost them.
...

I followed that last link and learned that now players have to have cardio tests, but then I saw that very few of the deaths were cardio related. Interesting freewrite!

So sad to hear this

The Nigerian league I'll say isn't that equipped medically to get things in place in terms of check ups and health status of each players and this is becoming alarming.

Pray their soul rest in perfect peace
