Q: Any big name Brazilian soccer players died in the crash?
7 years 20 weeks ago in Transport & Travel - China
You could find the answer to your morbid question by using Bing. The answer is actually no if you consider "big name" as playing for the national team.
retiredinchina:
Current reports are claiming the fuel guage was faulty and the plane ran out of fuel, what a stupid way to die?
retiredinchina:
hotwater, the morbid question is from a fellow american, as we say in america "what to hell is the sport called soccer, never heard of it". Real men play american football and get carried off the field in a stretcher and leave blood on the field.
on a side comment, i have never understood why you watch a sport where most of the violence is after the game between the fans instead of the players, just cancel the game and let the fans have at it, now that would be classic entertainment.
Englteachted:
I was trying to find out if guys like Ronaldo or guys who are featured in big league soccer perished because its odd that they didn't publish the names (at least in English).
Hotwater:
I see your point. My understanding of this team is that they've been promoted to the top level of Brazilian football very quickly over only 8 years. So no big names, just hard working players & a good coach/manager.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA......... that is seriously hilarious! A sport that has to stop every 30 seconds cos the players get tired. Are replaced every time the ball changes hands, AND the big one of wearing helmets and padding...
From what you wrote above, you wouldn't know a real "man's" sport if it came up and punched you on the nose!
I presume you've never seen rugby (particularly of the union variety), and especially not Aussie Rules football (or when combined with the Irish stuff - International rules).
retiredinchina:
Actually a game of lacrosse with no pads or helmets would be the ideal mad max sport.
The Romans were the best, kill off PETA, and bring back tigers and gladiators.
ambivalentmace:
it does not matter, the feminization of men is leading to falling numbers in soccer and american football, years from now, the left will make us feel guilty for watching any sport with violence, i wonder what snowflakes will call a real sport in 20 years.
