  1. In my view this rises to the level of manslaughter. Iami Bell told her coach she wasn't feeling well and asked to stop and the coach refused to let her stop. I'm sure Iami's death was not peaceful and that she went through horrible pain leading up to her death. In my view this coach is responsible. The coach acted in a reckless and negligent way, which is why I think it is grounds for criminal prosecution for inv. manslaughter.

  2. Where I live, at this time of the year it averages 110 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon. I go to soccer practice each day out in the sun(school soccer team and city soccer team). Sometimes even games, my last class of the day is PE so as soon as I get out of PE I walk home(sweating already from workout) in black shirt and jeans(dress code).

    As if it isn’t bad enough I use my bike almost everyday and go to the park. Either way… I do most of this by choice so I don’t complain about it. Yet sometimes I feel like not doing any of this but I do it cause I like doing it. And well I’m kind of used to the heat from doing this almost everyday since 5 years old.

  3. I remember in middle school my school didn't let kids do pe outside if it was over 90 degree. We went inside the gym to do fun activities or literally just chilled with AC on. On the bad days if the teacher was having a bad day or the students were misbehaving we would have to do suicide runs inside the gym but that was it. And I loved having pe as my last period. You physically get everything off your chest after a good workout or run and switch your clothes and head home haha

  4. I'm from Ohio but I've lived in Texas for five years. Native Texans are super weird about extreme heat. Many of them will dine outside when the heat index is upward of 110. They'll say it's "chilly" when it's 82 out. They'll wear long sleeved shirts, jeans and boots during heat index warnings. They'll bring their dogs on prolonged outings in such heat and don't seem concerned about their rapid panting and exhaustion.
    I'm so saddened by this tragedy but I am not even slightly surprised. People in Texas walk their dogs on blistering pavement, don't dress or prepare for the heat, they just spend hours outside in this kind of heat with little children and animals with no regard to safety.
    I've witnessed tiny children crying and begging to sit inside because they're so hot and they're ignored.

  5. The soccer team at our school was running bleachers in 120 degree weather my dance coach though wouldn’t let us run bleachers until it cooled down

  6. The reporters were so insensitive to the young lady who lost her life, didn't send any condolences or anything…could you imagine if this was a white kid?? Fuck them

  7. She didn't deserve to leave that early becuse of some dumb a** coach. I hope the coah gets what they deserve. R.I.P…😔😦

  8. Dam that didn’t coach this is so sad how even did this happen if the heat is 106 you shud not be practicing there

  9. Parents talk to your children and their coaches and tell them when it's extremely hot outside do not allow my child to practice. Put it in writing!

  10. Our school literally just had a girl pass out because of heat exhaustion and we still practice outside. And this is gym class. So you either work out or get an f. And even if you don’t participate you still have to walk out in the sun with no shade.
