As long as people have played competitive contact sports, players have died. It is always unspeakably sad. The recent death of a Cornell lax player is no exception. Prayers are with his family and friends. Not surprisingly it is prompting a debate about equipment and technological efforts to improve safety. Here's hoping sensible changes will prevent this sort of thing in the future.
