Yes I said it. TRAUMA!!!

Medical staff rushed to the field to conduct CPR on Damar Hamlin who was going into cardiac arrest. This was a life threatening situation and not a time to talk philosophy/analytics. Athletes are human beings first and foremost. So when lives are at stake and we see human beings fall to the ground let’s call it what it is! TRAUMA!!! You have to do better Skip Bayless and NFL, call the game earlier! For Damar, his family, teammates, friends and everyone watching. Because WE are bigger than the game.
