They haven't released this poor kid's cause of death yet but....

The National Federation of State High School Associations said last week that six high school student athletes died within the past month, four of them from heart issues and two from being hit, according to the Associated Press. Gainer’s death brings that number to seven.

I feel like high school football players dropping dead with heart issues isn't normal. But maybe I'm the weirdo. shrug-outta-hecks

Apparently I wasn’t done ranting:

When I was in high school, I knew so so so many kids in marching band and track who regularly threw up or passed out because of the heat. It was just an expected fact of life.

Floridian school teachers don’t take the heat seriously as a threat. Idk if they’re just not properly educated on the danger of heat or if they’re just uncaring assholes. Knowing my high school coaches, it’s probably a mix of both.

mayos after moving from a subcontinent where it's 60 F year round to a place with 90 F summers: hmmmm yes mayhaps I will mandate we wear the same clothing as in the motherland. So shall it be

Formal clothes is where that really always stood out to me. What the fuck do you mean you’re wearing a suit? It’s 95 degrees outside with 200% humidity. You’ll drown.
