And, in a weekly feature: Another Sacrifice to the Altar of Football

Football claimed another victim on the high school fields this week.

Evergreen, Washington.

According to Deadspin:  Football was the cause of death of 17 year-old Kenney Bui, who suffered a "traumatic brain injury" after making a tackle in the fourth quarter of the game.

I would have to think another GLORIOUS helmet hit was involved.

Also, David Young of Adna High School about two hours south of Seattle almost suffered the same fate.  Neck injury after a tackle (probably another helmet dirty hit), neck fracture, but is stable.

How many more for your entertainment, community, Social Darwinism...
