Very sad event.

I think it is a combination of his fault, the teams fault and probably the NFL's fault as well.

After the guy vomited once, he should not have kept going - he should have rested for the day. Dehydration and heat stroke are very serious - as was proven here.

It is very sad....

although people throw up all the time in football, maybe after twice he should have at least taken a break.

This is a very horrible tragedy. It is very unfortunate and yes, preventable, but it doesnt seem to me that there is anything that realistically would have been done. This is noones fault and noone should take the blame for it.
