He mentioned last week he got antibiotics from the media medical center (yes a real thing for the World Cup). He was looking forward to the couple days of no games between round of 16 and quarterfinals to recuperate
US medical staff should get access to his body immediately to see if it was natural. I'm not a conspiracy guy but this is too much coincidence for me to take it at face value without unbiased Dr's confirming.
I’ve always through Grant Wahl looked like a guy born into money, who treats everyone like shit. But, this is fucking insane. From tweeting about the Netherlands 5 hours ago, to poisoned to death? Shit.
Murdered. Qatar not even trying to hide it. They do not care. The world must stop supporting the Middle East. Wow.
I don’t know who pockets is, but I can confirm for all involved that the board is a better experience not seeing his posts
I agree. Really just hoping it wasn’t foul play, but obviously the situation screams that it’s possible.
For those that don’t really know him. To make matters even crazier, his wife is a doctor in the Biden administration’s Covid task force. If there was foul play they picked the wrong journalist.
it could not be foul play, but that would surprise me, and I am a total occam's razor, conspiracies are mostly bullshit poster.
Yeah people conjecturing quite a bit. Far more likely he died of natural causes then some Conspiracy bullshit.
My bad. Forgot I can’t say that. Maybe it’ll take a few more reporters/media members murdered for supporting LGTBQ rights before that’s okay to say.
wahl was outspoken when some shitty private equity company bought and ruined sports illustrated. he lost his job over it iirc.
I agree. Honestly the Brazilian media tweet showing/discussing someone having cardiac issues make me think it was natural* *By natural I mean not due to foul play
he was 48. he did not die of natural causes. he may have died from a bad flu or something similar but it's not a conspiracy to think a mostly healthy under 50 human dying because of his coverage happened.
just fyi I’m a doctor and I see plenty of people die less than 50 due to natural causes. And an infection is a natural cause of death.
his final reporting on the podcast yesterday was that Conmebol was thirsty for another combined Copa America to woo over the carribean votes for 2030.
What do you think is more likely, a 40-something year old suddenly dying of natural causes or a 40-something year old who criticizes a reprehensible regime known for murdering dissidents dying at the hands of a reprehensible regime known for murdering dissidents?
you, a doctor, letting your very sick patients just travel all around the world? to a place not loving of the US? you may have a better definition of natural causes than I do, but not what I have traditionally considered, doc.
natural causes. I do not see a point for Qatar to kill someone and get this type of negative attention.
I’m not claiming anything but the conspiracy theorists timeline of events go 1) was detained for the rainbow shirt (his brother is gay) 2) develops a cough a couple days later 3) goes to the medical facility for “medicine” a couple days ago 4) suddenly dies during todays game Obviously its just as/more likely he caught the flu, was dehydrated, sat out in the desert heat for hours and went into cardiac arrest during one of the craziest World Cup matches ever.
idk what you’re trying to say here. But it makes no sense in context. someone getting sick overseas and dying of an illness is natural cause of death. We don’t info obviously but odds are natural > a purposeful killing.
Always get a kick out of the “not a fan of that team/person but that doesn’t mean I wanted them to die” crowd. Thank you for the qualifier.
A little on the nose when his last piece of journalism was pointing out that the Qatari government does not care about their perception when killing people.
The same government that recently sentenced a Mexican journalist to death by 100 lashings because she reported she had been raped the night before? That’s who your staning for?
