This happens a lot. Especially in small towns in flyover country where the referee is the ambulance driver and owns the Trading Post.
Can you not be a festering asshole, just for once?
He collapsed in the stands about 40 feet from the bench and the team, refs, and coaches noticed the disruption. He was in cardiac arrest, had turned purple and was not breathing. CPR was performed on the spot and saved his life. I'm guessing the EWU trainers and the team Doc got involved and ambulances needed to be driven across the field. Hence, stopping the game. It was a sad thing watching that O-line man sprint off the field chasing after the ambulances.

I was at a high school game a month ago, there was 2:00 minutes left in the 4th. The Ambulance had already left and we had to wait 15 minutes to for them to return. A WR got slammed, and broke his leg.
