I know almost nothing about soccer, nor do I care to, but athletes in the sport have been dropping dead or dropping out in the mandatory COVID vaccine era, so this is big news. Sergio Aguero is retiring, and yes, I’m told he has been vaccinated.
The 33 year-old football icon is set to depart the game after 18 years at a professional level, following recent complications that came to light in one of his first La Liga matches at the Camp Nou club.
The former Manchester City striker suffered a cardiac arrhythmia during a 1–1 home draw against Alavés at the start of November – a problem that had originally ruled the Argentine out of action for three months
Aguero may be one of the most high-profile defections from the sport in recent months, which makes it big news. He’s leaving after suddenly developing heart problems, unlike many who have just died on the field or shortly after having heart attacks.
Taken with all the other news that athletes are dropping dead with sudden cardiac issues in significant excess to the norm, Aguero should consider himself blessed.
He didn’t die.
