“NPR can confirm the death of longtime soccer sportswriter Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl). He died today in Doha, Qatar while covering the Argentina-Netherlands World Cup quarterfinal. Story to come.”

No matter what the social justice warriors say, America is a pretty good place to be.

Our country has conditioned people for all kinds of wrong. One day women will realize they aren't as physically strong as men when they go to a country that doesn't peddle the lie, they will also get killed.
Oh well.

Some poor kids are going to be forced to endure a lecture about butt plugs and anal lube as retaliation for this.

Those rock throwers were enraged by a guy pronouncing the name of the country I-ran. Imagine the wrong person over there getting a little lecture from an NPR reporter.

I'm sorry he was killed if that's what happened but you don't go making a LGBT stance in the Middle East unless you are trying to be a martyr for the cause.

Still tweeting about the game he was covering as of 5 hours ago.

Body found, confirmed dead, next of kin/family notified, and death released to the media in that entire window?

Edit: Seeing that he collapsed at the game and either died enroute to the hospital or at the hospital. If he was killed by their government, there has to be serious consequences.
