I know this isn't important at all but like... theres no way the Bills can even be ready to play by Sunday right let alone making up the Bengals game?

I know I certainly couldn't.

If this turns out to be the case, I think we get a league wide pause of all week 18 games.

Also, we all like Football. Like, really really really like football. The fact that a football player can die from a normal football hit is mega disturbing and most of us have never had to confront that reality before.

Not surprising, there�s always going to be wrong reports during something crazy like this. It�s not maliciously done or anything, it�s just what happens when emotions are high during a stressful event.

thats dumb as hell

So everyone that saw it live or on TV should have to have PTSD flashbacks to the incident when this celebration occurs in the game? Removing it is the correct thing to do.

I could easily see Hamlin's family begging him not to play any more. They watched him collapse and apparently die in front of them. That's traumatic.

Chris Borland walked away from an incredibly promising and lucrative career because he became fully aware of the CTE risks and decided it wasn't worth it. Plenty of other athletes have done the same. We'll see what Hamlin and his family want, what the docs tell him, etc. and ultimately if he's physically able to play, he'll have to make a pretty tough decision. That decision will probably be tougher if he gets a lot of pressure, however well-intentioned, from fans and teammates to complete the feelgood comeback narrative that is so deeply culturally ingrained.

Didn�t Andrew Luck do the same? I think he got sick of the injuries, made all the money he could ever want anyway, and just quit to go fishing on his farm all day long. Can�t blame him in the slightest either.
