Kinda have to agree on all points here, btw.
You're only a couple pages late.
Suspends work? Is Monday declared a national holiday in Italy where everyone has the day off? What am I missing?
Or are we just talking about the suspension of calcio, where a player -- a guy who goes on the pitch as an athletic performer who rationally does not believe that he's risking death in taking up such a cause -- collapses and dies on national television while in service to that national sport?
It's true that in auto racing the drivers merely slow down instead of suspending the race in case of a death. But just how many sports do you know where players die in the middle of play like that?

Jezuz... the ignorance parade is out in force on so many footie sites right now.
"They should pre-screen players for these tragic heart conditions so that this doesn't happen."
Duh. I'm sure all these football teams with million-euro player contracts have never thought of this until now. Retard.
"Between Fabrice Muamba and now this, there's something really going wrong in football."
Yes, you statistical Cro-Magnon, two incidents constitutes an epidemic that should make everyone panic and assume a plague is now threatening every man, woman, and child on earth. Fucktard.
I understand the human instinct to seek blame whenever something bad or tragic happens. But seeking voodoo where none exists is just ignorance.

on the other hand I expected that from Malaysia, but instead they actually televised an announcement of Serie A postponement due to his death 
there's hope yet for this country!

Wait you came to Malaysia, and you didn't feel like sending me a Private message? Our friendship ends here! Hope Gaitán will never wear Juve jersey

Well written article on The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/apr/15/piermario-morosini-livorno-serie-b-italy
There have been quite a few similar instances happening within Hurling and Football here in Ireland. Only a few days ago, a twenty eight year old man from my county died while training.
The Guardian writes a lot of good football pieces.
One of the only English media outlets worth paying attention too
