Wow. Bad, bad injury in the Bengals-Bills game. I've never seen an ambulance on the field.
Bills' player Damar Hamlin made what looked like a normal hit and got back up on his feet, and then just collapsed like 2 seconds later. The broadcasters said the EMTs were administering CPR. I don't know if he went into cardiac arrest, but it sounds likely.
Yeah, not good. I'm glad to see you here, Tep.
The rest of the players look so shook, rightly so. Man.
They need to call the game. Just give both teams a tie. The game is not important.
It's not. I do hope they just call it. edit: Good call at least temporarily.
This feels so bad. Like a bad crash in a race.
edit: Class act with the fans there supporting the Bills. Good on you, Cincinnati.
UC Hospital is an excellent Level I trauma center, and it's close to downtown, so that's a positive in this situation.
The NFL should not leave this up to the teams. They need to be the ones to fucking call this.
It is.
Sadly I enjoy racing so a death during a sport isn't new but it's horrible and awful every time. Both in person and on tv.
Class act with the fans there supporting the Bills heading to the locker room. Good on you, Cincinnati. Eerie watching the field empty and stands full.
I am hoping he will be okay. Or whatever version of able to live is on the table as a possibility. Never seen a player up and then just fold like a ragdoll.

That's good to know. He needs the best looking after him if they can.

We really only hate the Steelers, but I like to think the fans would act the same way no matter who the team was. We want our team to win, but not at the expense of another player's health or even life.
