The NFL brass sucks but it seems like everyone is jumping to conclusions pretty hard about the “resume in 5 min” stuff that went down on the field. That appears to be what the refs said to the coaches, and likely as an answer to “what the hell is the normal policy here?” It seems pretty clear all parties at the stadium rightfully talked it out under exigent circumstances and decided to pause it to then discuss formally postponing based on whatever info they had, which they then did. Proper outcome in the face of circumstances exceeding that for which the normal policy was in place. I’m sure the league brass will now get involved and gently caress up everything from here on out though, book it

Paracausal posted:https://twitter.com/DavidShuster/status/1610119800163897346 This doesn’t necessarily mean they told anyone to eat one it means they made a decision. In crazy situations like this organic decision making happens (think like alpine rescue or battlefield chaos). All you can definitively say is that the coaches/players showed admirable leadership. Hopefully it comes out that it wasn’t in the face of idiocy from the league.

Asproigerosis posted:Yeah as it stands there isn't anything about this the NFL could possibly have done to prevent short of mandatory cardiac mri for all players that get covid? Complete speculation on my part, but if he had covid 6 weeks ago and presumably myocarditis, I could see a high risk of blunt trauma causing a deadly rhythm disturbance cause the conduction chain is all hosed up from the inflammation. Lol why the hell is this a probe, he was talking about the real and dangerous disease itself, which the player just had Or are we not allowed to talk about how Covid is bad and has potentially harmful long term effects?

People want to poo poo on the nfl, and I get it because they deserve it But everything related to this incident has been handled appropriately so far and it really comes across weird when people are high horse posting There’s nothing anyone can do except be worried for Hamlin and his family and we’re all powerless in that regard, so it just really is the time for good posting with the mates tbqh

Apples McGrind posted:In terms of the actual incident itself, i don't think there's anything else the NFL could do to mitigate something like that happening other than just dissolving the league and making football illegal. We had many people in here last night screeching about the 5 minutes and temporary suspension stuff being Roger Goodell like Dr. claw with his hand on a lever, meanwhile it’s exactly as I predicted - the refs or someone said “normally it’s a 5 minute warmup”, everyone agreed that wasn’t appropriated and to temporarily suspend to get some clarity, and the game was then fully postponed due to the gravity of the situation while they try and figure out what to do. Hard to think of any way it could have been handled better and boy do I want the NFL to take a huge black eye whenever possible.

Both Tua incidents are 100% worse in terms of the NFL’s systemic failure to protect player health and cultural culpability generally than this insanely freak accident. The Chris Pronger NHL incident is looking more and more like the proper comparable here :/

JAMOOOL posted:and yeah the whole "you have 5 minutes" thing looks terrible and heartless but you know in situations like this bad info gets passed around very quickly, seems likely some ref said that to the coaches because that's what the standard rule is and the NFL just doesn't have a contingency in case of a player suffering a cardiac event on the field I posted it last night but anyone with any sort of experience in high stress crisis management (think high alpine rescue) could guess pretty solidly that they were going through the “what’s normal->what’s different here->what do we need to loving do to do right” cycle.

wyoak posted:I think the contingency played out last night Exactly this. Decision-makers were empowered to and given space make the right call and cultural / moral principles guided the mutual discussion. Honestly, and again I hate to under any circumstances “hand it to them”, but the league and teams will probably come off looking good here with respect to crisis management.

Chamale posted:Hamlin had covid six weeks ago, and covid raises the risk of cardiac events for a year. So that could have been a factor, although I don't think it can be determined with an individual case. Incredible stuff from the mods, who are responding to this situation 420% worse than the loving NFL lmao

Cthulu Carl posted:Yeah, that thought hit me I think about the time Ryan Clark was giving SVP that "[Hypothetical "Hey y'all, Damar's fine, he just had a fart stuck" news] That news doesn't let me hug my brother, doesn't let me hold his hand, doesn't let me see him after I saw what happened. Even if he's fine, the game should be postponed" speech. drat recovery from a fart stuck can be intense depending on what’s plugging you up

She lost about a thumb sized piece of small bowel after I finally convinced her to go to the ER when she started vomiting the previous night's dinner. Thanks for this I hope your wife’s ruined rear end in a top hat is okay

Anime Store Adventure posted:Thanks. Yeah, I hope someone makes a supercut of Ryan Clark with Scott Van Pelt from that coverage. There's a few clips that are probably the best segments floating around, but just about everything Ryan Clark said in that show was helped contextualize and calm so many emotions for me because of how well he spoke on the situation. I wouldn't have expected it, but I'm glad it hasn't gone unnoticed. Clark and Booger were both great. This tweet is hilarious to me because it basically happened here. https://twitter.com/thornton_melon/status/1610104595065225221?s=46&t=nTKYHbSQ-xQJPbLbrjVg7w
