What bugs me about the article is this:

Don't really understand the OPs eye rolling. An attempt at glib humour? Maybe I'm just a bit too obtuse to get it.

At any rate, there's been a development with the player in question.

Maybe his eyes are rolling back in his head.

SEVILLE, Spain - Sevilla midfielder Antonio Puerta died Tuesday, three days after collapsing on the field during his team's Spanish league game against Getafe.

Puerta died of "multiple organ failure stemming from prolonged cardiac arrest" and subsequent coronary problems, Virgen del Rocio Hospital director Gimeno Guerrero said in a statement.

"This is one of the saddest days in the history of FC Sevilla," team president Jose Maria del Nido said, fighting to hold back tears.
