Can you put the content warning up front with something like "Graphic, Death" instead of Big Ouchie? Thank you <3

Ngl I don't think I've ever seen such an enormous lack of empathy from everyone around. It takes a couple of seconds before anyone moves to check on the guy, what the heck.

    I think they just don't know what to do or don't believe it at first, they weren't exactly prepared to see someone possibly die. I've seen a few traumatic incidents where people are oddly chill before most really grasp it fully. Also they are football fans, the way he falls at first doesn't look much different than some bad hits I've seen, and they are spectators, the ref does run to him immediately.

    Yeah I see what you mean. It is a baffling thing to watch someone fall to their death.

    Also they are football fans

    Fair point, I'm not used to American football, and everything I've seen from it just always strikes me as too violent in general. That may just be the reason why the lack of reaction from most of them is so startling to me.

    It is too violent, I hardly watch US football and in the few games I've seen the last couple years there have been 2 or 3 concussions that looked as much like someone dieing as this video, with apparent brain damage due to posturing while unconscious, as disturbing or more to me as this video. Most people there have probably seen someone fall hard and go unconscious, it's kind of fucked that they should be used to seeing that but I think that could be part it.
