Chieck Tiote dead at age 30

I'm not saying its the case with tiote but we often see reports of African players saying they are much younger than they really are and it does seem like more African players suffer these sudden death problems than other players maybe that could be a factor in why it happens more to them.

RIP

African-americans are more prone to heart attacks and other injuries of the same kind. And by more prone it's like 10 times more. The reason is blacks have natural hypertension/high blood pressure.

Keep in mind they share lots of genetics with people of Africa.

RIP - Truly liked him as a player. Fearless and all-action at all times. My heart dropped when I read this news. Terrible stuff.

As for heart disease in black folks, it's a little different between Africans and African-Americans. We here in the States run high risk for a variety of stuff like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and mostly down to poor dieting and sedentary lifestyles, especially in the Deep South. Soul food will do that to you.

Just saw this while reading the daily mail. Horrifying news. Absolutely loved Tiote.

Hell, When I was lazy creating players in Fifa I would just give them his last name.

How do you get lazy when it comes to choose the name i wonder it's the most exciting part

A long last name and having to type it out with the controller . Plus there was no payoff thanks to my name not being in the Commentary list. Although I think that might have changed since the last time I played a FIFA game(fifa 12). I hear Fifa has the Japanese league now, and there is a kid that plays for FC Tokyo with my last name. If they added Commentary I could finally be myself in full glory, with Martin Tyler singing my praises.
