Summary:
Fabrice Muamba, a midfielder on Bolton Wanderers, suffered cardiac arrest two days ago on the field in an FA Cup match against Tottenham. Muamba was following up on a play in the 40th minute when he suddenly collapsed to the ground and started shaking. Immediately, players and trainers surrounded him to help and realized he had a chance of dying right then and there. Multiple players walked away in grief and could not bare to look at their teammate dying before their eyes, but Muamba was given a defibrillator and remains in critical condition.
Significance:
There is no significance to the sports world from this story, but it is the second time ever a professional soccer player has suffered cardiac arrest during a game. Unfortunately, the first case ended it immediate death. Luckily, Muamba is still alive but has 50/50 chances of survival. Muamba's story is also significant because it is a scary thought that anybody at anytime could suffer a fatal attack.
