MeshHatMafia
It’s prudent to inform everyone that paramedics got his heart beating again on the field and that he’s in critical condition
worldwarzero
Game was suspended because players wouldn't play, not cause NFL cares about them
gurry321
Absolutely horrifying moment in sports history. Medical staff's quick response might have saved a life. Hope he pulls through and makes a full recovery.
Marie8180
He went into Cardiac Arrest after a hit he made. He is not breathing on his own. He is in critical condition. #buffalo_bills #billsmafia❤️??
watermelonman122
Team put out a statement saying that he suffered cardiac arrest. Is still in critical condition.
Br0doSwaggins
Glad they postponed the game. I've never seen NFL players look so shook before. They definitely were in no emotional state to keep playing
TheRicM
Agreed. I think, probably seeing the CPR is traumatic as that's not a normal part of most injury protocol. Wishing the best for everyone
Housemaster
Definitely. They see broken bones and torn muscles almost daily, but CPR on an unresponsive player is incredibly frightening.
ironwill2008
I sure hope he recovers and will be OK.
TheRicM

Lumanson
How is the sport still legal? I mean besides money
TheRicM
Every year it gets toned down more and more. I can see it phasing out. Good news though, Hamlin is awake now and still recovering
beelzebob23
This is some scary shit.
TheRicM
Seriously, so sad, I hope he is ok
aap71
Maybe colliding as hard as you can 50 times a game isn't healthy. Maybe we shouldn't be cheering.

Bills fan here. Glad they canceled the game. Prayers.
TheRicM
Must be tough for the team and the fans. The whole league actually, it's pretty traumatizing. Prayers
bananaspitz
Currently in medically induced coma to let his heart rest and heal.
GuyGordon
I kinda doubt he'll recover. I think he died right there on the field.

CBS is reporting he suffered cardiac arrest.

It was nuts how long it took them to finally call the game. You could tell there was no way those guys were gonna be able to take the 1/
lukavago13
Pretty sure that the NFL didn't want to take anything away from Hamin. Waiting until he was off the field was a solid move on their part.
RaistMoPP
field again, nor should they have. It would have been dangerous for them to try to keep playing while obviously unable to focus. I hope 2/
RaistMoPP
it was just the league figuring it details before announcing but it felt like everybody was left out to dry for way too long. Hope he's ok.
bingle19
They took that long to make sure the ambulance got to the hospital first. That way fans who left early would not impede the ambulance.
NJCabinetGuy
I have sympathy for him .... soldiers die every day defending our country, not their multi million dollar paycheck. It's the job be chose.
scarlettslutboi
1. Death can be tragic regardless of occupation. 2. Last time I checked, soldiers, sailors, and airmen also chose their job.
NJCabinetGuy
Got a point, many volunteer. Guess I was reflecting on my experience with the Viet Nam draft, and the way soldiers are treated upon return.
Housemaster
Big props to the Bengals team and fans for how they've handled this entire situation
redbullvodka
I’m still shook over this. That was terrifying and I hope we get a good update soon.
TheRicM
Same. Been thinking about it all day
morninggloryshade777
This 'sport' is scary dangerous.
loosenuts57
He went into Cardiac Arrest and is still in Critical condition......His life is in the Lords Hands now.
gooftroop
By that logic, wouldn't the lord have put him on this position to begin with?
Kavrae
Doctors* You can at least give them the minimum amount of respect deserved by saying he works through them or something.
ThePakistallion
Man. Hope he’s ok. Hate that some people gonna say it’s covid vaccine heart related issues???
AdmiralJohn
So far I haven't read anyone even speculating that was the cause. Most likely it's commotio cordis but there's been no official word.
ThePakistallion
I gues the clowns started speculating. https://twitter.com/whitlockjason/status/1612558595970985989?s=46&t=lwcnFRsOYv-bvSPTWn83bg

Go to YouTube or news sites that allow comments. They are there.

Oh, my sweet summer child. That means you're staying on the mostly sane side of the internet. Believe me, those comments are there.

Sgtcandyass
As others have said lot of places are saying it. Big example is people of twotter
covfefe
Hoping he is okay and will recover, I've never seen anything like this in sports ever. So scary.
bixby66
I have. Old high school friend of mine just sat down and died after Dragon Boat practice. Sometimes you push your body too far.
covfefe
Man that sucks, I'm so sorry.
MantisTobagganMD
Very reminiscent of Christian Eriksen collapsing during Denmark v. Finland Euros match in 2021. FIFA stupidly resumed the match hours later.
HenryLongfellowIII
Malarchuk on the Sabres getting his jugular severed and carotid partially cut slashed by a skate in hockey was bad. He was down 1-1/2 qts.
covfefe
I've seen clips of that, just absolutely horrible. Amazing he survived honestly.
reicherManager
I remember one soccer player being booked, then he turned around shaking his head in disagreement and then simply collapesed on the field.
reicherManager
Even the players of the opposing team were in tears because it was clear that this player was dead (can't find his name right now, sorry)
Jijinumerounodriver2
Miklos Feher 2004. Distressing scenes :'(
TheRicM
Agreed, hope he recovers. I’ve also never seen such a thing in sports

TheRicM
Yes, treatment of players and consideration of them in resuming has been discussed extensively tonight on air. Hope they discuss it more 1/

in the days and weeks to come 2/2
Quizz25S
There was a baseball player who took a line drive to the chest. Stopped his heart.
deumaro
Happened quite couple of times in football
GrandHofTarkin
The only other time I have seen anything scary like this, is when the Buffalo Sabres' goalie, Clint Malarchuk was cut by a skate blade...
HenryLongfellowIII
Yes, nasty.
ImHidingFromMyKids
That was horrifying
PoptartSpankySpoogeMonkey
They put him in a coma, last I heard.
Jaxotea
Coma or sedated?
boredomisdangerous
sedated, i just heard
TheRicM
Thx for the update
Jaxotea
Sedated, not an induced coma, which is good as it means he brain is probably OK. (Induced coma is done to reduce brain activity)

Thank you
PleasePMMeYourFeet
I hope they don’t resume the game tonight.
georgejimmydoodle
The game won't be played this week. That's what Washington Post is reporting.
PleasePMMeYourFeet
Thanks for updating.
TheRicM
I don’t think they will. Can’t imagine the players wanting to go back. I think the Commission is taking a while, maybe they want to be sure
beeeeeeerkaaaaa
But the NFL wants it rescheduled ASAP.
PleasePMMeYourFeet
They’ve officially suspended the game for the night.
Andbrie86
I can't believe they took an hour to do it. They should have called it when they were doing cpr. NFL needs to do better
TheRicM
Thx for the update
bkcantthinkofanythingclever
He’s still in critical condition

$33 for number 3. When he wakes up, I hope he sees how much people care.

Billion dollar company doesn't cover their players?

Sorry, I thought that was for medical bills, not his charity.

You mean the gladiatorial slaves on display to sell and drive the capitalist consumerism agenda?
ThickTomato
I'd love to meet the people down voting me, show yourselves. It's a fucking business structure thar destroys people and communities to sell
stronomer
Yes, those. Specifically those with the increasing brain damage.
ThickTomato
What happened to this player is tragic, but bigger problem https://www.cnn.com/2017/07/25/health/cte-nfl-players-brains-study/index.html
Kavrae
Repeated impacts causing brain damage.... to the surprise of no one. Which is why my son is not allowed to choose football as his sport.
stronomer
That is a smart decision!
