I can't remember if I wrote about this

I don't remember if I wrote about this, and it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't because I was BEYOND busy in April.

Anyway in 1989 in England during a soccer match involving Liverpool, 96 fans died when they were crushed by too many fans entering the stadium. People in Sports Management can't ever let a Human Crush like this happen again.

Fans were actually pouring over the fences and onto the field. It's one of the sadder sports stories I know of. Usually you don't think of fans being in danger.

I also don't think that many people in America have heard about the story. I personally didn't until a person I worked with, a Sports Information Director at Stonehill College, brought this to my attention.

This is a tribute video.
