This poor guy is in critical condition, and trolls are using it for political purposes. And you just know that some folks are buying it. Disgusting on every level.

I’m just waiting for a reposting of that preposterous “died suddenly” video by one of our own local anti-vaxxers.
When I googled to double-check the exact title of the video, there have been more than a page of reposts of the video on YouTube in the last 9 hours. So, yeah, apparently the anti-vaxxers are having a field day with this.
A football player was hit in the chest by another football player (in other words, an elite athlete weighing over 200 pounds) and to them a vaccine is the obvious reason?
SMH.
Prayers for Hamlin’s full recovery and for his family. 😢

"Vincent said the league took no steps toward restarting the game and did not ask players to begin a five-minute warmup period as ESPN's broadcasters had announced.
"It never crossed our mind to talk about warming up to resume play," Vincent said. "That's ridiculous. That's insensitive. That's not a place we should ever be in."
Again, don't take word as truth from those not in the know. Including ESPN who does like to puff up stuff to get people talking.
Many of those ex players/coaches love to share stories about well when I was playing. Shit that was years ago. Shut up and just share the facts.

Rather, players/captains and coaches from both teams, who had witnessed Bills safety Damar Hamlin getting CPR for 8 minutes, said they would not continue the game

To watch last night and see the players reactions, the way they were reacting, you knew it was big. My stomach was in knots. And then to hear they were doing CPR....goodness. I can't imagine being there. I was just at an NFL game the day before and so maybe the whole scenario is a little fresh. I wouldnt want my son or anyone else to see what those people did last night. I certainly hope Damar will pull through. thinking of you C, as I remembered you were a Bills fan.

That was never stated.

I honestly think it should be up to the coaches and players to call a game. They have more at stake than Goodall. Not sure why people are upset it was the teams and not NFL who called it first.

Wow, the fundraiser is now over 3.5 million. (ETA: as a football fan of a Bills rival, I made a small donation)
I saw this in real time last night; I felt ill all evening and the first thing I did this morning was look for an update.
This young man could be my SON. Thank God his mother was there as I can't imagine how much MORE AWFUL it would be to be watching this happen to your baby on TV. I'm grateful she is where we all know she wants to be: right by his side. I continue to pray for them all: Damar, his family, the players/staff at the game last night, the medical team.

How far down do pads come on football players?
Not asking to start anything here. Just curious. And if not that far down, this needs to be something the NFLPA looks at. With all the technology and advances we have had with sports gear, I am sure something csn be made that is light and effective.

Wondering if there could be a plate of some sort, on the chest, not attached directly to the shoulder pads so they would still have freedom of motion.....

My sister was watching this game. Then started looking into the background of Hamlin. He has been fined for hitting a quarterback - after the play. About 3 weeks ago, he was fined and ejected from a game for a helmet hit on a different player who is still out of the game on the injury list. Both of these incidences are during this season. In the game last night, he wasn't hit -- he made a tackle. Apparently he" tackles hard" ... and based on two fines AND being ejected from a game, perhaps a little "inappropriately". I'm sorry this man got injured - I hope he gets better and finds some other way to make a living -- it won't be at the million dollar level, of course, since he is unskilled in any other manner than football and uneducated; I'm sorry that the Miami quarterback is out of the game for, at least, this season - possibly forever; I'm glad, once again, that I refused to permit DS to play football; the game is violent - but the players are assuming the risk of the game in exchange for a million dollars per season minimum.

SERIOUSLY? He’s fighting for his life and you post this? How do you know he’s uneducated? SMDH

Lovely. Why do I doubt you’d refer to Payton Manning as unskilled or uneducated 🤨

This post is really offensive for a lot of reasons. First, he is fighting for his life and you decide this is what you want to focus on? Second, pretty sure he went to college so how is he uneducated? Are YOU educated?

He had a $4,000+ fine... No big deal with the money they make. It is difficult to even find the info today..

I honestly had no idea jackasses had gained the ability to type. Congratulations I guess, I see why you believe you’re qualified to state someone is uneducated who has a fucking college degree

So sad! My daughter was on the Pitt Dance team so we went to all of his games. They had a class together and graduated the same year. She is absolutely devestated. All the athletes were a close knit group. His parents were at all the games proudly wearing his jersey. I can't imagine what they are going through. Loydene - here is your "uneducated" player for you. Are you uneducated or just an ignorant asshole? Oh. Pitt = Univ. of Pittsburg. I'll ASSume you didn't know what higher level of education she was referring to.

We are not football watchers but I remember when I was 10 we were at a hotel swimming pool and a man dove in when it really wasn’t deep enough. His friends realized he was in trouble and drug in out. An ambulance was called, they were doing CPR and when the paramedics got there they were shocking him. It is burnt in my mind. So scary. I think about it at every pool I go to. I hope that Damar can recover fully from his injuries.

Good God, do you even hear yourself?? The man is in the hospital on a ventilator after having CPR performed for a reported 9 minutes. Who gives a shit about what happened the week befor or the month before.

What kind of asshole sees a man go into cardiac arrest and immediately “looks up his background” to decide whether or not she should feel badly for him? What kind of asshole jumps to the assumption that a man who went to college is “uneducated?” You and your sister are quite a pair. Do we know her?

as much as the NFL wants to appear sympathetic to this matter, the are completely aware how important last night's game is to their bottom line. this was an important game to the league. the outcome was going to help determine homefield advantage to other teams.
they indicated that they won't resume play this week but it will be interesting how the NFL will interject their business interests as soon they receive any kind of positive update on Hamlin. too much money is on the table. they are a business. corporate greed, man.

Oh my God. You have no idea how educated he is or what he may go on to do but I feel like I'm pretty sure I know why that's your assumption. The normal thing to say here is "I hope he makes a full recovery."
