I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is 100% true. I used to play soccer in high school and college. People kept falling over dead left and right all the time. You can’t stop the game when someone dies. Why didn’t they replace the whistle with something else? Anything louder would kill more people. We all took it as fact that at least 3 people would die per game. Tournaments were especially difficult times. I don’t know why everyone suddenly is freaking out about whistles now.
