With what we are seeing here tonight, and plenty of other recent examples (Tua, AB) at some point everybody might need just to walk away.  These players are too big, too strong, and too fast.  With the type of hits that are happening now, this will only exponentially increase.

I don't enjoy watching people die.

The only way for the NFL to survive is to make it a more finesse sport. The bigger, stronger, faster mentality has pushed biology to its limits. If you don’t play QB or Kicker you are going to get brain damage playing the game, not to mention the linemen destroying their knees and stressing their hearts and organs with abnormal weight gain.

In all honesty, the NFL is probbaly prioritizing the teams and players over the fans right now. They dont need to announce to us that the game is suspended, we are just bystanders. They are most likely working through the process with the teams and league officials.

Literally all they had to do was say the game is postponed and all thoughts are with Damar Hamlin and family. Period.

I thought he died the way she spoke

My understanding is that they needed to do CPR. Any time CPR is performed, it means you actually died and medical providers are trying to bring you back. Perhaps they were able to get a pulse again but he is still critical for sure.

They are packing up equipment, this one is over

This. We're treating human bodies like Formula 1 cars now. The way the game is played now is not sustainable.

What did his tweet say? I’m thinking it might have been deleted.

Not going to check it again but basically a "how could the NFL possibly postpone a game with such important ramifications, even if this is an awful situation". I may be paraphrasing it worse than it was but it was pretty shitty

Isn’t that what the jumbo tron says right now?

Damn. Booger Farland just went IN on the NFL. I didn't catch exactly what he said but basically insinuated they don't give a fug about the players and "that's just how they run their business".

Oh man... you think its that simple? There is way more to it than that. Im not going to go deep into this one, bc id rather focus on the situation. However, Id highly recommend to you to think through the entirety of the situation with a little bit more understanding of the logisitcs that goes into this stuff. There are hundreds of people invovled in the communication and action that goes into this.
