Following your logic, are we supposed to get rid of all the love in our life?
Do you think too much love causes people to overeat?
Or do we all need more love in our lives in order to avoid self-destructive behaviors?
If it's of any help, I can give more examples:

Search: "Evel Knievel dies at 69; had long been in failing health."

Search: Billionaire [daredevil] Steve Fossett dies in plane crash.

Search: Man Dies In Hotdog Eating Contest - Choked To Death.


The subject being the love of playing football and other self-destructive lifestyle behaviors.

How is enjoying football self destructive?

Correction: The love of playing football, as was described in the article. (I didn't change the subject to "watching football".) :-)

Yes, the act of watching football, in and of itself, is not self destructive.

It is if you're doing nothing but sitting on your butt all winter watching!

Here's another one:
 
Search: World-Famous Daredevil Dies During Ponytail Zip-Line Stunt Attempt - But He Didn't Fall.

And another:

Search: Acrobat falls off tight rope in death defying high wire stunt gone wrong.

A few Canadian hockey players have died from on-ice injuries.

And what does an anecdotal incident prove? A vegan might choke to death on a soy bean but I wouldn't attempt to prove a universal truth from it

Your post is right on! :clap2:
However I hear that you're a known teacher's pet and therefore suspect. :confused:

Please don't make me a suspect! My mother was a sub so I couldn't be too bad, but I was hardly a teachers pet. (but I do like apples and broccoli. Am I an undercover vegan?) 😱😱😱
