Looks like the Buffalo Bills Damar Hamlin Safety just died on the field during the game. Giving him CPR...etc.
He's gone.
looks like the game is over.
The players all took a knee, in prayer, for him.
Interesting that just a year, or two, ago...they were taking knees to object to the American flag/Star Spangled Banner.
Well, glad they are praying, now.
Prayers up.
If this was normal, we would have players falling over dead every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday evenings due to being tackled or hit hard. This tackle wasn’t even a hard hit.
When are people going to admit that we have athletes falling over dead at an early age due to sudden bursts of exertion? The numbers are too many to ignore. Some people insist that is is only because people are looking for those instances, and it has always happened. However, I’ve looked back at stories concerning athletes’ deaths prior to 2021 and I’m finding those cases are rare,few, and far between.

Never dive into water before checking the depth... he learned that lesson from it.
I saw Marc Vivien Foe in the 2009 Confederations Cup when it happened.
I never want to see anything like that again.
It was a nice uppercut from what I saw.
Even so, he never looked steady. Did not “jump up” as so many say. Just got up, then staggered backward. Unsteady the whole time.
No official word yet, but players are coming out of the locker room without their pads on and the Bills are starting to gather their equipment up on their sidelines.
Any decision to postpone/call off the game is in Roger Goodell’s hands now in New York.
This ESPN gal is driving me fricking crazy.
I was reading some of the posts in Twitter. Man, that place can really be a sewer
I agree - looked like uppercut to chin, jerked back head.
Many claim chest.
And no, I won’t blame vax for everything. Not this.
That's the way it looked to me as well -- helmet under the chin. My guess is neck or brain, but we won't know for a while.

I am told that Damar Hamlin has been intubated and is currently listed in critical condition.

“...for not diagnosing his condition when he was hospitalized after complaining of chest pains.”
Whoa.
I agree with you. We can’t say what occurred here but to ignore that so many athletes have died ‘suddenly’ while exerting themselves is ostrich-like. There must be statistical analysis of this; that is a comparison of occurrences before and after Covid hit and vaccination started?
The NFL has very well attended prayer circles before and after games. Prayer is very popular there.
