Haha, my mother used to say chewing gum would wrap itself round your heart and kill you if you swallowed itSoyuncu chewing away for Leicester. It must be dangerous but I've never heard of anyone actually choking or being injured during a match having played and watched for over 60 years.
Whenever I’m exercising I’m blowing out of my jacksy, chewing gum would be impossible.I think many players both professionally and amateur chew it. I'm not sure I've heard of anyone dying. I get why it could be an issue especially if knocked out.
I always have some in at the gym (remember those) or out for a run. Just keeps the old mouth lubricated. I always bin it as it annoys me the amount on pavements.
