Last night, the American sports-viewing public got to watch Damar Hamlin go into cardiac arrest and nearly die on the field after making a routine tackle during Monday Night Football.
As the world shared their shocked thoughts and prayers in traumatized disbelief on Twitter, Oklahoma City alum Skip Bayless asked the question no one was thinking – what are they going to do about this important football game!?
I've seen so many horrific injuries suffered on football fields yet never have I seen a reaction like this. In every other situation I witnessed or covered, the game always went on fairly quickly. The attitude was, "Hey, that's football." For these players, this was DIFFERENT.
