Sometimes there are these events that transcend sport. And yesterday that’s what happened when Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills collapsed in the field.
The Bills player completely collapsed on the field and even if the NFL really seemed to want to end this important duel between Buffalo and Cincinnati, the game was postponed.
Why? Because what happened was too serious.
It is impossible to think that the guys had their heads in football after such an event. After all, it didn’t matter what color the sweater was on the back, it could have been any of them.
At the latest news, the player is in a critical condition. He is sedated after suffering a cardiac arrest. This is nothing reassuring.
His agent has also publicly asked to keep him in our prayers.
And clearly, everyone does. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Twitter be so one-sided in the world of sports since everyone is talking about it. And this, whether they are football fans or not.
The world of baseball is no exception. Several MLB teams have publicly supported Damar Hamlin. A little research allows us to see it.
The Buffalo Bisons, the AAA club of the Blue Jays, also got involved. This is not abnormal, especially when you consider that the Bills are also in Buffalo.
Mike Trout, a fairly discreet man in life, also rose on Twitter to send his prayers to the NFL player.
The good news – so good news there is – in the file? People have started giving freely to the Bills player’s fundraiser, who has been trying to donate toys to children in need for years.
Only yesterday, he raised millions of dollars… when his basic goal was to raise $2,500. This is how the fans show their support.
