More the fact that when tuning in to watch a game of football, most probably don't want to have the camera focus on someone being attended to live in a critical situation or see the distress of concerned loved ones looking on. Especially kids watching. Why would you want to witness this? I remember having my little boy sat with me watching Grosjean's accident before Xmas and thinking I'm going to have to explain to him that he's just witnessed someone die. Fortunately he was in the garden playing football yesterday so missed the graphic scenes. I was kind of glad sat there watching as I wouldn't have wanted him to have seen the close ups.

Especially kids watching. Why would you want to witness this? I mean they shouldn’t show it, should have cut to the studio earlier. But you couldn’t see all that much on the pitch anyway. I don’t think people were getting upset about how graphic the footage is, more the situation that someone might die. Which is a bit soft.. I always thought he was more likely to survive with the medical care he was bound to receive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really want to get into an argument about this. It is fantastic that Eriksen is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only regurgitating something I read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I like how people are claiming it’s the producers responsibility to cut away from the scenes so they don’t have to watch all the whole absolving any personal responsibility and just passing it off to someone else. If you don’t want to watch it or want your kids to watch it then just turn the tv off it’s not exactly hard to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep There's an 'off' switch Sitting through something you don't want to see and then moaning about it is as hypocritical as complaining about the BBC as a corporation and Gary Lineker as a presenter, but being sat tuned in watching Gary Lineker presenting on the BBC - something that's also been tickling me on social media the last 24 hours 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s awful but accidents or incidents like this do happen and people do die. Imagine what it was like for our grandads or great grandads who would have seen much worse away at war on a constant basis, and probably never received any therapy or anything for it. Struggling to think of a post filled with more rubbish than that. Unsure how not wanting to watch people die makes people soft? Do you think the kids who were watching it should see live scenes of people dying? What about his family not wanting his potential death broadcast live? Thankfully, we’re not at war, we’re trying to watch a football match. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if LondonOwl has actually seen someone die in front of him. Its horrific to see even if you do know/accept that people die. Main point is that the guy looks like he is on the road to recovery. How people feel or react to what they saw is irrelevant. Everyone is different and handles situations differently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think they should just turn the TV off if they don’t want to watch it or their kids to watch it. I’ve not mentioned anything about kids.

Having close ups of a critically ill man having cpr wasn’t unfortunate, it was deliberate.

mildatheart67 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Once the guy was obviously so ill ,only human to want to know he was ok Be bizarre to just turn off. The camera work was allover the shop it moved away relatively quickly at first and the expectation would be studio or neutral shot and commentary,then moved to a super close up and it's was like wtf. Now if the commentary had said " oh we are going to keep keep the camera right on the player " that's a whole different thing .That would have been choosing to be a ghoulish voyeur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Read that Italian law states he’ll not be able to continue playing for Inter Milan now it’s confirmed he’s had a heart attack. I mean. I imagine he’ll just retire. But if he chose to continue playing, which I doubt, it seems he’d have to leave Italy. Also read that because he plays for an Italian club it’s even more shocking that he’s had a heart issue because their medical screening is one of the best in the world for these things, although this potentially points towards a conclusion that he didn’t have an underlying heart issue and it was just a random occurrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Musn't Grumble Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 This is why we should have basic first aid training before we leave school as part of the national curriculum. These accidents and incidents always happen when you are least likely to expect them and usually there are no suitably trained people around to help at the time. As a sports coach, I must have basic first aid training at least every three years to keep my coaching qualification. Whilst I have been lucky in that I have not attended to seriously injured people, I have attended to athletes who have been rendered unconscious and had injuries such as a broken bones including compounded fractures to sort out. I really hope that I do not encounter anything like the Eriksen situation but I know that my training would be a big help if I had to. With appropriate first aid training, attending to any of those situations might just save someone their life. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
