A tasteless thread title whether intended or not.  Thoughts and prayers to the family.

wow.

fuck...

How bad do those announcers feel now having laughed about it.

seriously this vid left me speechless.

That guy woke up today and all he thought was he had great seats to a baseball game.

what a tragedy

“Just for a baseball.”

“You were right, someone did tumble.”

*laughing*

You wouldn't have thought someone would die from falling 20 feet onto their head?

could tell by the way he was going down that was going to be trouble. You could here it in the stands...the fans new it.

Unfourtunate accident. Sad to see.

My thoughts are with his son that seen it first hand.

So God killed him, not Josh Hamilton?  Why would God do this?  So he humiliated him first on live television (with commentators laughing) by first making the foul ball ricochet onto the field, and then forcing innocent Josh Hamilton to throw the ball so that the deceased could make the catch, but lose his balance while doing so?  And then God allowed him to suffer in a great deal of pain before finishing him off during the ambulance ride?  And God did all this to him while his 6-year old son was left stricken at the stadium?  Why?  Is he a mean God?  If you're right about God controlling things here on Earth and decideing who dies, when, and how, then I don't think I admire this God. 

Hopefully your beliefs are just crazy talk, and God, if there is one, doesn't operate like an omnipotent sadist.

Yeah, it's just crazy talk.  Phew...

I don't know but lionheart58 does.  According to him, it was God Himself who arranged the unlucky course of events that led to the father of the 6-year old tumbling over the railing to his eventual death.  Lionheart58 said something about the guy having finished his work on Earth, so it was time to go.

scary i have to share a world with people like you

a guy died, a kid lost his father, and you just can't resist bringing your god did this rhetoric into this

stay the fuck out of this, show some respect to the man and his family, fucking terrible for the kid, so sad

leave religion and your other fairy tales out of this thread

this is about a man who died, RIP

In 39 posts only two of them talked about the announcers laughing.

A fan goes over the railing and falls on his head and they just assume he is ok and laugh about it for over 10 seconds?  If they are sick fucks and find that funny, fine. But considering they were on a live broadcast being watched by hundreds of thousands of people they should know better.

I feel terrible for the family of the man who died and hope they weren’t watching that broadcast with those assholes laughing at their father/husband/son falling to his death.
