I’ve said this for years but it’s amazing that no one (at least in the modern era) has died on the field yet considering the size and speed of todays players. These morons were claiming vaccine injury before Hamlin even got to the hospital, they can bend anything to fit into their cynical and uninformed worldview.

Recovery? Nah, he died, that's why he hasn't shown his face in public! /s

Why is it so hard for these people to accept that a football player getting hit hard directly in the heart area can cause very weird and upsetting things to happen to their bodies?
