1.) How would you feel if your favorite sprots team player died?

I would be so disappointed about the loss, and would go to the fuenral if I have enough money to fly over there.

2.)If you were one of the players would you gone to this league?Why or why not?

I wouldn't go to the league because I don't know the roads would be safe or not and I probably don't know if there was bad things happenning there.

  • Good job overall Hannah! I do think your questions could be stronger. Your summary is a bit brief as well.

  • It is sad if anyone dies especially if you knew the person very well or if you looked up to them like people might look up to a sports player. If the roads were that bad and they were not safe then I wouldn't have gone. 

  • I would be super sad to hear that one of my teamates died. I would make sure I would be at the fuenral and nothing would get in the way of that. I would wish that I would have gotton to spead more that with the people that passed away. 

  • I would be very sad because it is someone I look up to and see as a role model. I would send all my love to their family and try to support them in any way I could. No one really knows what is going to happen so I think that I probably would have gone, because no one could have predicted this to happen.

  • I would be very upset. I would wonder what happened to cause the accident. I would miss they but know i have to move on at some point. No I wouldn't of because I would still be alive. I also would have just stayed home maybe bc I want to see my family for a change. I mean we can't predict the future so I really don't know if there would be anything that would stop me from going.

  • First of all, I would be extreamly sad and I would feel absolutely terrible for the family. It would be very disappointing for the team and their emotional state as well. The team would most likely not preform to the best of their ability either. As for whether or not I would have gone, I am honestly not sure. Obviously you would not be going with the mindset that you would die, so I probably would have gone. This is severly saddening and I wish the best to the familes involved. 

  • I would be really sad and I guess I would try t finf out what happened and maybe in the time right after that I would watch some of their old games just to see them and their team play again.

    I think I would go because if thats what I like I dont know what should speak against it and you cant plan accidents so they couldnt have known what would happen.

  • I would be sad, but as long as it wasn't really family then I don't think that I could dawn on it too much. If baseball is what you loved then I'm sure that you would go and play in the league.

  • Like anyone I would be overall upset and sad that they weren't with us anymore. I don't know if I would go as far as going to their funneral but i would totally want to find some way to pay respects. 

    I would probably go if I enjoyed the sport that much. You shouldn't let the chance of getting in an acident ffrom unfamilar roads stop you from travelling. I would want to have a trusted driver escort us if I were really that concerned. 

  • I would be devestated, probably, if my a player from my favorite sports team died, or even if my favorite player from a sports team died, however I hate sports outside of dance and figure skating, and I don't pay very much (any) attention to those, so I guess I'll never know for sure. ~ I think I would have because the traveling and the different sights could be cool.
