      Basically this young man was randomly destroyed by the drug pushers. 24 years old and as healthy athlete as can be. At best, he will be fortunate if he lives a decent but shortened life, but he will never play in the NFL again. I’m pissed at what they’ve done to him and so many other good people.

      Skip did nothing wrong. Sports journalists are supposed to cover sports from all relevant angles and the difficulty of rescheduling this game is one of those angles that will be discussed by the NFL because it has to be and is therefore perfectly appropriate for journalists and commentators to discuss. Skip ended his tweet by emphasizing the importance of Hamlin's health above everything else by the way.
      We can always be certain that people will see incidents like this as a means to place themselves on moral high horses.

      Nah this could have happened at anytime. What likely happened is something called commotio cordis. Where if you hit somebody in the chest at just the right time, they go into cardiac arrest. The window of opportunity for this is literal milliseconds. There are over 300 million people in the US and only 30 cases are reported each year. Thats how rare it is. Commotio cordis tends to happen in children too with the average victim being 14 years old. Its nothing to do with hard hits. Its everything to do with the timing
