While the cause of his death hasn’t been revealed, Matthews becomes the sixth football player to die this year. Unfortunately, this melancholy ending sounds all too familiar.

As a young man who’s deeply enamored with sports, it’s hard to watch kids die at the hands of what they love. Everyday, these kids entrench themselves in the routine of practice and game preparation because of their immense love for the game. Do I think they should stop playing football because of these past tragedies? No. But, I do believe that we need to tighten our safety precautions in hopes of promising our kids a long and bright future.

So for the families of Tyler Cameron, Rod Williams, Ben Hamm, Evan Murray, Kenny Bui, and Cam’ron Matthews, I sympathize for you all.
Let’s hope that we can find a way to ease the pain and find a balance between the game of football and our children’s safety.
