He hasn't died, although is in a terrible state in the hospital after having a heart attack on the field when hit with a bloody fast cricket ball. Terrible thing and all, and I hope as everyone else that the poor guy recovers.
At the same time I'm torn about the media hype about it all. Cricketer gets hurt badly, team mates devastated. Um...... is it just me?
How about the number of construction workers killed on the job this year? Under Tony Abbott's gov. Last I heard was about one death a month across Australia. This year it's doubled.
So where is the main stream media outrage about this then? Instead it's all about the bullshit royal commission into the CFMEU supposed corruption. Where is the compassion for these 24 workers so far this year who have died simply by going to work? It appears cricketers deserve compassion, but not them.
IMO the focus on one hurt sportsman and all the tragedy about it, cheapens the lives of those lost construction workers. I make no apologies about that. But hey, WTF else would you expect from Murdoch?
