Hockey player just got killed. Rip Adam
Adam Johnson has to be on here now
This came across my page after the Adam Johnson tragedy, may they all find peace🩵
I remember the story about the football (soccer🤮) team and the lightning. Apparently, the team that succumbed on the field had metal spikes on their cleats while the opposing team had plastic or some other kind of material on theirs.
You forgot Maggie Fitzger. 🙂 Just kidding.

Including the wwf in a segment about sports deaths is like listing usernames for fallen call of duty players as war heroes.
They're athletic entertainers. It's not a sport.
Real wrestling doesn't have a script.
Sergei Grinchov
We don't get to see anything horrible!
What about Jim Clark?
Death of Dan Wheldon in Las Vegas, October 16, 2011
Adam Johnson died on the ice after getting slashed in the neck and blood spilled out of his neck
Make a revised version of this with Adam Johnson
How about Greg Moore. He was a very talented sports car driving. Half the ppl in this list I’ve never heard of. But if your gunna feature Canadians make sure you do your research.
Nouri ❤❌️❌️❌️
The obvious choice for the worst sports death is Dale Earnhardt.
Tragedy followed Ray Chapman’s widow as well. After his death Katie eventually gave birth to a baby girl, whom she named Rae. She remarried business man, J. F. McMahon & moved to LA, Calif. Together they had a son, J.F. McMahon Jr.
Katie suffered with depression after Ray’s death, and eventually she committed suicide by drinking cleaning fluid in 1928.
Katie & Ray’s daughter Rae, stayed in California with her step-father after her mothers suicide, but tragically died from the measles the following year. Both mother and daughter are buried in Cleveland, OH in the same cemetery as her first husband, Ray Chapman.
Ronnie Peterson, The Swedish F1 racer that died in a tace and the german downhill star Ulrike Maier ought to be there.
Greg Moore, one of the greatest Indycar driver, sadly his big impact he passed away back in 1999 Fontana, California
When the luge accident occurred, I was asleep. My family was watching the Olympics. I woke up to that. It still feels surreal.
This is why Sports should stop
I personally would’ve included Denny Morrison on this list. He was an Indycar racer who was gonna try to go as far as he could from a last place start in an attempt to raise money for a fan, but instead a fatal crash prevented this from happening. This led to one of the most emotional moments in a Discovery Channel series as there was an episode of Nerve Centre that just so happened to be documenting Morrison’s last race, meaning his tragic death was also documented in the episode, as was the five-lap salute the other racers did after finding out that he didn’t make it to the hospital following the crash
I have a friend who was there live when Owen died. Listening to him describe it, it was a horrible scene.
Dale Earnhardt give his life so his son could win
Don't feel bad for bull riders…
I'll never forget when Senna passed. Watched it live..
Adam Johnson. Video occurred before his passing, but the incident 100% belongs here. RIP Adam, and may the new neck guard rules change the future of hockey
Also Bill Barilko
My condolences to those 20 athletes who tragically passed away. Rest in Eternal Paradise
