It really hurts to see something like this.

That's just sad, and I hate that that happened. It just shows that no matter how safe we try to make sports, you still can get seriousily hurt or killed playing the game.

in the past cple of years, a few football(soccer) players have died of things like heart attack, on the pitch (they just literally fell to the floor) it's really scary to think that young players (theyre usually africans in their mid-20's) can just die like tat in front of thousands of people, and they have no idea that theywere unwell

This is just another example that life is short. All we can do is live our lives to the fullest because we are not promised tomorrow. Also be careful and take care of yourself for goodness sakes. Sometimes there are things we could never foresee like sudden heart attacks or breaking your neck during a game but there are certian things we can do to extend our lives. This player passed before anybody really knew it. So sudden so sad. Our thoughts and prayers should be with his family and friends during this trying time. Things like this should cause us to take a look in the mirror and think about what we are doing with our gift which is life. Wow I am not used to being this deep. So I'll end here.

Wow... very well said Kurjo!

Yesterday his teammates reflected on him, his life, and how he affected theirs...

It's seems from what others say to him that he was a good man. And it is sad that something like this happened. But the one thing that some of his teammates mentioned... He passed doing what he loved most.

It's good to see that the AFL is honering Al in this way.

A very good Eulogy was given by the Arena Football League Commissioner David Baker
