Andrés Escobar once told a Colombian journalist named Gonzalo Medina why he loved football. “This sport illustrates the close relationship between life and the game,” he said. “In football, unlike bullfighting, there is no death. In football no one dies; no one gets killed. It’s more about the fun of it, about enjoying.” He was killed for football. He was 27 years old.
