When World Cup becomes a Killing Machine
By looking at the title of this entry you may think that I am talking about crowd violence. No, crowd violence was never a big problem in World Cup. However, many fans become too excited when they watch world cup football and this may sometime be too much for their heart to bear. This has happened in Bangladesh on this Friday night. Two Argentine fans suffered heart attack after Argentina lost to Germany on a penalty shootout. I found this news item in two Bangladesh newspapers (in Bangla language). However, if you want to read about it in English then read this story of  People's Daily Online. I am quoting from the report:
"Meantime, print and electronic media on Sunday reported two Argentine fans of this football-mad Bangladesh died following heart attacks with one in Southeastern Noakhli, 190 km from the capital and the other in northwestern Gaibandha, 276 km from Dhaka immediately after Argentine, the country which lifted the World Cup twice, suffered a defeat to host Germany in penalty shootout."
 
The man who died in Noakhali was a trader and his name was Jahangir Alam (aged 38). On the other hand, Abdur Rauf (50) died in Gaibandha and he was the owner of a tailoring shop. Such deaths are unwanted and I know it happens in many parts of Asia almost in every world cup. I wish that FIFA comes forward to do something for these fans. FIFA should start a special promotion of urging people not to become too crazy about World Cup. On the other hand, FIFA should set up a special fund for supporting these families who suffer this way. At least, FIFA bosses can send condolence to the family members of the deceased persons. If you are a football fan then I urge you to write to FIFA about supporting the families of such passionate football fans.

Thanks for stopping by my blog come back often...I enjoyed reading your posts on your blog - it's crazy to imagine a sporting event causing a heart attack but some people cannot separate their passions from their needs

To CaliJamaican: Please try to understand something. It has nothing to do with sepparating their passion from their needs. People like these men, were very passionate, which means a highly emotional level, and the risk of heart failure in such kind of people is high, regarding to the object of their passion or their fanatism.
It is not an excuse for anything, of course, but I'm trying to help some people to see something they obviously can't see.
And this isn't the NBA, where you score points every ten seconds; football is different and it adds to suspense and intensity, specially under these circumstances (penalty kicks) that are like "all or nothing".

Same scenario could happen on anything that's closely tied to emotions.
I repeat, it has nothing to do with "passions vs. needs". They could say the same about you. You are missing the point here.

Thank you for your time, gentlemen.

There are more than millions of die-hard football fans who are only passionately wait for FIFA World Cup Football. Sometimes we can see some fans sacrifice their lives for football. In my point of view, it is too much. Because in every game there one team will have to take defeat and it is the rules of game. So, I hope no one need to take football more than a way of entertainment.
