Why is high school football like this? A ref had a seizure and died on the field and they just carried him off in an ambulance and kept playing. What the actual fuck?!?
It's up to the case. I agree that basic courtesy would have been to cancel the rest of the game and ensure the dead man is properly delivered. But not all people think that way, and if there's nothing we can do about it, well, there ends the matter.
Keep in mind... it's not... really the best idea to rile up an entire crowd cuase you dunno what the hell could happen. You really don't want that number of people panicking.
SO it was in all honesty probably better to not bring attention to it as much as possible since people wouldn't get what was going on. It might be insensitive etc but... that's better than more people getting injured etc...
