Personally, his death would not affect me at all.

Discounting family, the saddest celeb death for me was Cribbins, but I can understand THE icon in the world's biggest sport being huge for many. 

 

For me, he's going surrounded by his family, after living long enough to see the World Cup through to the final, and been aware enough earlier in the month to experience the worldwide love and admiration that came out when he was first hospitalised. There are much worse ways to go, as an old man.

Nope.

What if he dies at 11.30pm on 31 December, and his death is announced on 1 January am.? Would he get points as a 2022 pick and/or as a 2023 pick or neither?

Who cares? Not going to happen. 

 

Stop bumping the thread for no reason

I think he’ll die today and be the George Michael/Eartha Kitt of 2022. I searched for the sweepstake thread but didn’t find it anywhere.

It could. I mean the death of Betty White was five hours off being announced in 2022 Uk time.  Say if her death was announced at 7pm LA time it would have been 3am UK time and the list already published.

His son posted a picture holding his fathers hand.Looks very discoloured.Think him lasting until December 31st is looking an increasingly unlikely possibility.

Am I the only one who thinks his family a bit crass, posting their dying granda for twitter likes?
 

I wouldn't be compelled to take photos of me with a dying relative for personal use, let alone to plaster over the internet.

It’s the “in thing” on the facegrams… look how considerate I am holding this dying person’s hand. Give me sympathy likes. Etc.

I think people grieve in different ways, so it's not for me to say what a person should or should not be doing.  It wouldn't be for me, for sure, but far be it for me to tell another person how they should handle a close relative's impending death or death.  I'll use an example that I saw recently.  Earlier this month, a woman that I went to high school with, who is one of my Facebook friends, lost her young daughter tragically.  She was probably around 20 years old, something like that.  I guess she struggled with severe diabetes and other related health problems, and she had to be rushed to the hospital and fell into a coma.  She never came out of it and died maybe 7-10 days later.  During the time that her daughter was in the hospital fighting for her life, this friend of mine posted on Facebook multiple times daily about her daughter, and many of my other friends (who also have her on their Facebook) thought it was strange to see these posts given that it seemed her daughter was facing long odds to recover.  But it must have been her way of dealing with it, putting something out there so that she didn't break down, who knows.  It's not like she was doing it for the social media exposure.  Anyway, I just think it's tough to judge a person for how they behave in an extremely serious situation.  Different people are going to react in different ways.

I'm reserving judgement given  that one bonus of the detailed posts is form studying for us all! 

 

Not 2023 talent, mind - more a chance for a late boost to add respectability to my DDP and HPDP performances this year

Allegedly he has deteriorated further.
