WEEK 1 - Cardinals @ Bills
Bills QB Josh Allen threw 2 TD passes and ran in for 2 more as the Bills overcame a 14-point deficit to defeat the Cardinals 34-28. The game was an exciting back-and-forth contest and featured the first kickoff return for a touchdown under the NFL’s new kickoff rules.

Idk if you guys watch football or not but during a game tonight, Damar Hamlin, a player with the Buffalo Bills, was seriously injured. They had to perform cpr on him on the field. The game was suspended for the night because the whole experience was so traumatic for all of the players. He is in critical condition, as of the latest update. He's only 24.
Damar has a charity organized to buy toys for under privileged children. Before he was injured, the gofundme had about $7,000. As of 10 minutes ago, his charity is close to a million dollars.
It's a tragic event, but it shows how good people can be. I know I tend to think the worst of humanity, but seeing the outpouring of support for Damar tonight, and the incredible contribution to his charity, is really heartwarming.

This is the same as the previous post. I locked it down to prevent incorrect information about the circumstances of Damar Hamlin''s injury from spreading. Please keep reblogging.
(content notes: traumatic injury, head injury, gross negligence by a powerful organization)
Hey everybody,
I wanna talk about something really important. You might not follow sports or American football so it might not come up in your social feeds.
There was a game tonight between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. Bills player Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field. was hit extremely badly, enough that They did CPR on him for nine minutes. As of writing this (1/2/23 at 20:05 Pacific) he is at the hospital and not breathing on his own.
[edit 1/3/22] The Bills issued a statement saying Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after I wrote this post. The rest still stands.
Even before Hamlin had made it to the hospital(!!!) the NFL called for the players to warm up in five minutes. The coaches said "ABSOLUTELY NOT" and refused.
It took the NFL an hour to officially cancel the game. Equipment operators were packing up before it was officially called.
So you may have heard about former NFL players with "chronic traumatic encephalopathy", or CTE. That's a medical way of saying "you got bashed in the head a lot and it fucked up your brain". 99% of former NFL players who donated their brains for research had it.
Here are some of the symptoms of CTE:
The team found that—whether the men’s brain changes were mild or severe—all experienced mood, behavioral, or cognitive symptoms associated with CTE. These included impulsivity, depression, apathy, anxiety, explosive rages, episodic memory loss, and problems with attention and higher order thinking. Nearly all donors whose brains were diagnosed with CTE (96%) experienced progression of their symptoms during life. Men found to have milder brain pathology died younger, at a median age of 44, and suicide was their leading cause of death. The men with more severe pathology died at a median age of 71. Their leading cause of death was dementia or trouble with movements like swallowing.
I'm telling you all this because some of you might think professional sports is a niche subject that doesn't affect your life. Or you think that athletes, like actors or other people who make much more money than you, are protected from exploitation by the amount of their income.
The average career of an NFL player is 3.3 years. Average salary is $2.7 mm. You don't need to do the math to see that's not exactly big bucks. Until I read that last article I did not know that the NFL has a pension plan. Also it's really not great. Additional detail?
The new CBA also outlined… a plan to establish a program that guarantees former players without insurance receive mental health services, orthopedic care, preventative care and other health interventions at no cost to the player.
For emphasis, because this is really important: THE NFL DID NOT HAVE A PLAN TO PROVIDE CARE FOR UNINSURED PLAYERS UNTIL 20-GODDAMN-22. A plan!! It hasn't even been established!!
No amount of money will make up for fucking up your physical and mental health. It especially will not if you don't have a healthy way to deal with those fuck-ups.
It is now nauseatingly crystal clear the NFL is another facet of the system that allows police to kill (Black men) with impunity. You do not treat people you think of as human this way. And because all this stuff is connected, we have to be aware of the ways people try to get us not to care.
I regret that it took Hamlin's terrible injury for me to understand this. The NFL's response is the reason I absolutely must remember it.

the game is officially postponed. it should’ve been postponed as soon as they needed to give damar cpr. the fact that they were originally gonna give the bills five minutes before going back out to play is just disrespectful and insensitive. please pray for damar, his family, and this bills

For real. Ryan Clark has been amazing on-air in covering Damar Hamlin for ESPN. It’s an impossible situation for any broadcaster, let alone a former player.
Ryan almost lost his life because of a game in Denver in 2007. One of the people uniquely qualified to talk about this subject
I hope Damar Hamlin is gonna be okay. I hope Tee Higgins doesn't blame himself. I hope Hamlin's toy fundraiser receives millions of dollars.

Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle during the Monday Night Football game against the Bengals. He has been administered CPR and rushed to the hospital. The team reports that he had a pulse but was not breathing on his own. I was going to post the video of the hit and collapse but decided not to. 🙏🏻
The game has been temporarily suspended.
