You can't stop the world simply because you're moaning and crying over something bad that just happened

Stopping a football game isn’t stopping the world. It wasn’t a tough call.

Your old uniform thing is kind of amusing, but this is a wretched take.

Disagree. I do not believe a game has ever been stopped like this before.

No, I do not feel any less about Darryl Stingley, Dennis Byrd or anyone else than I do about Damar Hamlin.

Please name another time that a player went into cardiac arrest on the field since Chuck Hughes in 1971.

I wouldn't be super surprised if he's released tomorrow and is in Orchard Park tomorrow physically. He'll definitely have a video message on the jumbotron.

Lol. He is still in the ICU. Nobody gets discharged from the ICU. 0% chance that he is in Orchard Park tomorrow.

Do you think they should have played the week of 9/11

Obviously no

I referenced 9/11 in another post

For crying out loud, being paralyzed is less alarming or life threatening?!?!

Uh, I have nothing against people including men expressing themselves and sharing feelings.

This isn't little league, it's not even college.

Tell you what, just as soon as CryGate, DefameGate and VideoProductionCrewWhichHasNothingToDoWithTheTeamGate are all corrected, reversed, money and draft picks returned, Tom's consecutive starts record amended, and the Patriots officially made the Super Bowl XI victors, then I'll consider being okay with men behaving like babies.

I thought the article was more describing how the NFL had changed in the last decade which allowed them to respond to the extraordinary situation with appropriate medical care that influenced the outcome in a positive way.

I found it really interesting that the there are so many medical staff that participate in pre-planning. From the 2 "drills" to getting together with the game officials prior to the game.

I wonder why he hasn't been moved from ICU yet. Yeah, he's not getting discharged today if he's not been moved out of the ICU yet.

Bating?

The difference between 3,000+ men, women & children being massacred and one guy passing out?

No, and I think the decision should not have been up to the NFL.

Depends on what if any permanent heart muscle damage occurred and if there was/is some previously unknown genetic etc. cause. Bet nobody knows unless there was substantive heart muscle damage.

OK, while we're on the subject of horrible incidents of pro athletes passing out during games, I'm reminded that Reggie Lewis is a cautionary tale of the fatal dangers of not marrying well.

Well, they played after JFK got shot, and while the country was in shock and mourning, I admire guys sucking it up. But you know, guys did that all the time then, the vast majority for little money or glory.
