Damar Hamlin

[LaGrid]

I'm worried about his ribs can we get a report?

I'm not about to argue a common sense topic with someone looking for an angle. You're a dip____ if you didn't know he likely had lung damage after the event and the subsequent CPR. It's the furthest thing from breaking news.

Everybody under the sun knows this. Minus a lung desease his lungs would heal if intubated or on ventalator.THATS NOT THE STORY his heart is the story.

Hat tip to you, Sir. And thanks to CajunsHat for the information yesterday.

Thanks, MAT!

Thanks for the reference. It really lays out & simplifies what I think CajunsHat & other medical professionals I've heard over the last couple of days. I had never heard of this type of event before this event, although explained this way does make sense. I just have a hard time seeing how this wouldn't occur more often than it does, although I'm glad it doesn't.

Now I'm going to make a statement & ask a question for the sake of discussion & it's gonna sound heartless. But now that Damar is coming out of the woods & is looking like he will recover, it's something that is going to have to be dealt with as a real possibility.

Right after this young man's incident, the talking heads couldn't wait to get on the air & try to out preach each other & proclaim how much more valuable Damar was than a stupid game & anyone who disagreed with that was cold heartless evil fool. But for the sake of argument at which point does the "game" still go on no matter what happens to the next Damar Hamlin?

This game had a major impact on possible playoff seeding & determining playoff position in the AFC. What would, or should be the outcome if this incident had occurred in the first, or 2nd quarter of a Super Bowl? Do you postpone the game, Cancel the game, or continue the game? Do you tell 80,000 fans who would have paid at least $10,000 per person for tickets, airlines & hotels to get stuffed, the game wasn't worth it? Do you tell sponsors who spend over 5 million dollars a minute for super bowl advertising that the player's feelings are more important than the revenue lost from not continuing the game? Or do you tell the players to suck it up butter cup? You're a professional athlete & as such you are extremely highly paid to perform under this type of circumstance?

I remember when a reporter embedded with the troops at the beginning of Desert Storm and died of a blood clot that formed because he had to curl up for days while traveling.

I wonder how many of the athletes she mentioned died trying to go from zero to sixty after laying low for a year or so.

That last paragraph speaks volumes. We can talk about data all day long. It’s misleading, because 99% of the people who were/are vaccinated aren’t putting the continued stressors on the body as collegiate/professional level athletes. That’s truly what needs to be looked at.

Just heard a report on the radio that doctors are communicating with Hamlin. He's still intubated, so the the first thing they said he wrote down was, "Who won the game?"
