If this man can smile what am I doing??
Praying for Ben and his family. Nothing but love
Such a shame. Happened to a hard working kid who came from a great family that was so happy to see their boy succeed. If anyone can overcome a devastating event like this in the best way possible it would be this family. Wishing them nothing but the best and hope Ben continues to improve.
That was tough to watch and I didn't even know him.
Wish you all the best, you're a fighter 💪
I physically remember watching this on tv on Saturday wow.... what a story
His spirit is strong. Ben Abercrombie is a great man. A leader. He has a chance to make things happen that will benefit all. Amazing man.
My son gotta play tennis or something man. This is too much 😪
Justice Williams stop being a bitch
@@beau_sauce_god2676 I'll rather be a bitch for not playing football then to be paralyzed you crazy
Just make football more like rugby
Gonna tear his acl playing tennis
I agree with you. So freak accidents can happen at any moment out there.
This shit had me crying in the morning and I've never ever heard of him until today. 😭😂 great story keep getting after it brother 🤘
T snow me too man I started crying when I heard it
T snow I agree
T snow same man I literally almost cried when I heard this story
So much respect for this kid. Never stop being an inspiration if given the circumstances.
Ben hope you get better dude I'm so sorry that your dreams got taken away it was hard watching this not getting emotional prayers to ben and his family🙏🏼
Keep pushing man! I hope you will get better, never give up!!
Good for you! I couldn't keep going but I'm happy that you have a strong spirit!
Imagining having everything going for you and then not even being able to move one day
Never tackle with your head . Impact force enough to break your neck
Hi watching here from Philippines. My sister also suffering this. Dont lose hope. God bless to both of you . :)
Hi Ben, we wish you the best recovery. Always
God bless this man🙏🏽
I have tears in my eyea
I hope your conditions have improved. Sitting in hospital bed with C5 injury looking for some hope. I have never thought i will be here but here i am. Its crazy how life change within a split of second.
What happened if I may ask?
Badger you are an amazing human being
Man, he's got a strong 💪 mind
Prayers go out to Ben and his family ❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Save it, it doesn't work.
Hood atheist you never know
Respect
It always has to be the most active ones. Michael-Ryan Anderson, Elly Barron’s and Ben Abercrombie are some GOOD example.
I broke c2, c3 and c4. Lucky to be alive. Had no idea my neck was broken. Not football related.
How old are you? Surgery?
How did it happen, if I might ask?
this hit home holy shit
We take so much for granted
6:11 🥺🥺🥺
Looks like he when head first into the player. So sad for the family and Ben.
My kids aren’t playing tackle football no way I’m taking that chance , feel bad for this kid
amen
🙏
Fourteen months is only a little over a year. I'm assuming it was a complete injury. Still, it took me three plus years ti et anything back. I had a similar injury...but was incomplete...C4 was dislocated and broken. I'm watching this five years later, and I don't know if there were any improvements...but please don't think after a year, nothing will happen.
A spinal cod injury completely changes the life of the injured but also turns the life's of his family upside down To provide the 24 hour care needed. They, too, need "care".
As a football player this always scares me because you can still get hit soft but it’s the way you’d spinal cord takes it and it’s all Radom you can hit hard head first sometime p.s don’t do that and one moment you can lead with you head up the right way and still get paralyzed.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️homie I hope your doin we’ll
😞🙏🙏
The tackle didn't seem very hard at all, but the injury was devastating, so sad!
Who downvotes this? People just need to be educated on human anatomy. Doesn't deserve to be disrespected though. A gunshot wound can even destroy your vertebra. Happens all the time.
What's up with his dad's voice?!
This is sad hope there’s technology that can fix him soon
this is too sad
So his former teammates see the severity of his injuries and still continue to play the stupid game? Guts or stupidity, I don't know which it is but they have plenty of it.
this game SUCKS , ruins lives
@@MichaelMurphy61-cc5gsPlayers die young. The sport should be banned.
Glad I don’t play anymore. Wasn’t worth it.
First things first dont hit a person like that
One would think that after injuries like this, football would be discontinued. But no.
Love how capitalism even milk such a tragedy and make it seem his injury is a joyous occasion for him and the family. Putting it out that way that he says he remembers football fondly for all you know it brings back such horrifying memories just so that as they say "The show must Go on".
First
Scott Egan stfu bruh
F up
Helmets are the problem in football....
It happens also in Rugby....the game is the problem
Don’t lead with the head
This is the reason American football should be banned forever.
Okay and European rugby and all other contact sports stay right? What is your logic?
@@benq7617 I'm not saying ban all contact sports. We can make some safer, but football is dangerous to its core. If it's not paralysis, it's CTE. I enjoy football, but its banishment would save lives.
