There's major league soccer teams all across the United States full of players who have most likely been vaccinated. Why wouldn't it also be happening here then with the dozens of teams here in the US?
As others have pointed out, the intensity of soccer means it might not necessarily transfer to other sports. At least not at such a high level.
However, there has also been an increase in soccer fans collapsing during matches (presumably due to the passion and excitement of the matches). In soccer, you might only get 2 or 3 goals in the entire match, so when there's a goal the crowd experiences an intense release of emotion. Any sports with similar moments of intensity might also see an increase in fans collapsing.
I imagine soccer is a lot more stressful on the heart since the average player runs 6+ miles a game.
Correct. And also it's not like going for a regular even paced 6-8 mile run. They are repeatedly sprinting and stopping, changing their pace.
