HoylandOwl Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Grant Wahl, a prominent and very well respected American football and sports journalist suddently died last week at the World Cup during the Argentina Holland game, the story was he had a heart attack. Now, another journalist has died suddenly, Al Misslam who is a photojournalist from Qatar, has passed away too while covering the tournament. Questions are being raised as neither had pre existing conditions, or heart issues… hmmm I didn’t want to put this in the World Cup thread as it’s not centred around the football.

HoylandOwl Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 There are PLENTY that are... But not all are. And I wouldn't call him a journalist.
