German Magazine's Headline ‘Awake’ on Michael Schumacher Grossly Offensive
A German Magazine is accused of making money off Michael Schumacher's horrific tragedy after posting a picture of the former Formula One (F1) racing champion with the headline that reads "Awake." The said picture shows a smiling Schumacher with his wife Corinna.
The magazine called "Die Aktuelle" which means "The Current" apparently only talked about those people who had woken up from coma in the issue, according to the fans who bought a copy of the said magazine, as reported by the Daily Mail. Fans were angered and alleged the magazine that it was simply cashing in on the current condition of the seven-time F1 champion.
Some fans of Schumacher took their anger to Twitter saying that the magazine should be sued for publishing a terrible and tasteless story. Another fan tweeted saying that the magazine was trying to trick the readers just to sell more copies.
German news Web site News.de reportedly tried to reach out to the publishers and asked if the recent issue was indeed an attempt to take advantage and obtain a profit off Shumacher's tragedy, but they refused to give statement or explanation.
It has been three months since Schumacher was put into a medically-induced coma. Schumacher's wife Corinna, along with their two children Gina-Marie and Mike, constantly visit him and spend eight hours every day at his bed side, talking and praying that he will recover from the tragic incident. However, even if he does wake up, Schumacher will unlikely be that same person prior the accident. The doctors revealed that Schumacher would need to undergo intensive therapy for a long period of time to be able to walk and talk completely if he does wake up.
Imagining the worst possible outcome or circumstances of the given situation, it is likely that Schumacher will have impaired consciousness or he will be in a vegetative state, wherein he will be able to open his eyes and breathe spontaneously but he will be unable to move or talk.
Schumacher first stepped away from his F1 career in 2006, but in 2010, he returned to the sport with Mercedes. The German racing driver officially retired from his racing career in October 2012.
