OT - but tragic story
 

A fifth grader died at school today after being struck in the throat by a football during a flag football game at lunch. Here's a link to the story. There's also a link on that page to a letter the school principal issued.

This school is in a neighboring district to mine although I have never been there.

Turns out it wasn't a thrown ball, but a kicked ball. The kid was trying to block a punt. The game was overseen by a teacher but there's really nothing the teacher could have done to prevent something like this from happening.

What an incredible tragedy.
