Study Finds Super Bowl Loss May be Deadly

University of Southern California researchers studied how often the type of emotional stress sports fans sometimes experience may translate to increased cardiac death.'"

Priorities

It's nice to know an individual can die over important things like a group of people who have no idea that individual exists losing a friggin' game.

Things like the fact that the U.S. has been engaged in a war for a decade, or impending revolution in the Middle East, or the onset of global warming, or whatnot... these are just minor annoyances compared to the vastly important things in life.

I wonder what happens to people if their favorite on American Idol doesn't win. That must cut life expectancy by half.

I assume this is true for all sports.

Like NBA, NHL, soccer, etc. And not just sports either.
