My question is a football fan how do you feel when situations like this happen in the field? Does it affect the way you gamble?

Also, will you aspire to play football professionally or allow your child to play football when you know an incident like this can happen on the field?

This unfortunate incident will not affect my perception or level of participation in sports betting because it happens once in a while. The last time I saw such an event was when Tom Lockye collapsed on the pitch in the game between Luton Town and Bournemouth last year December. He suffered a cardiac arrest and the match was suspended. Just one game in one year is no big deal

Any of my child that wants to play football will be encouraged. I will give him all the necessary support. There is risk in all professions, so the unfortunate incident will not deter me from encouraging my child to embrace football. I also appreciate the fact that there is also qualified medical staff that can attend to these health emergencies. With the recent improvement health services around the stadium, mortality rate has reduce drastically.

Tbh, I feel really upset when incidents like this happen during a game but it doesn't affect my level of participation too. Of course, there is no pleasure to watch someone getting injured. However, it's not about gambling but fate. Incidents happen, and in sports, they are rare and related to many reasons (sometimes it's the fault of the physical trainer, sometimes the tough competition between players, and sometimes it's the fault of the player himself because he didn't warm up correctly). If it's destined for someone to get injured, it will happen no matter the place. As for playing football professionally, I would let my child play, enjoy his choices, and focus on positive examples instead. If we have 100 players in the world, only 5 of them might get injured, so that’s not a reason to stop my child from living his dream.
