This is one of the reasons I'm not a very friendly or sociable person. The outreach of support for this young man from all walks of life was the best thing I've seen in a long time. Who cares what the league does or thinks. Why can't some people just leave well enough alone?

Frankly you did come here to bitch about it so there's that. I'm just saying that people die in even more tragic situations every hour. Probably every minute.

A football player got hurt playing a violent and dangerous game. Yes it's sad. He seems like a decent guy. But It happens all the time to good people in other dangerous jobs.

Maybe you and Neo go out in the street with a can of gasoline and set yourselves ablaze to show the world your grief.

I'm disappointed that this has ended up here. Hamlin is just a guy who received probably a once in a lifetime injury. It was very scary, very sad and unfortunate. Pray that he gets better and it doesn't happen to anyone else.

Your prayers were answered, it appears he will be ok.

I didn't pray for him, not because I was being a jerk, I just didn't pray for him.

Congrats?

You, really don't have to prove how much money mommy and daddy wasted on your Michigan experience with every post.

But we do sincerely appreciate the laughs.. ?

But you're responding to a guy who just told you to pray to the wizard in the sky.

Bro, you don't have to talk to me about how ridiculous religion is. 

That said, congrats on your edge lord response. You're a badass.

 And the bottom line here remains the same despite unnecessary belligerence from neo and Woody.  The league overreacted to an unexpected injury. Nothing more, nothing less.

 So for the chronically outraged members of the board he has asked for prayers. I am assuming that your love respect and devotion for the kid is now officially over?

I said something about how ridiculous religion is?

No, I was pointing out the hypocrisy that exists on your side using a touch of sarcasm. 

I'm sure you'll agree about the hypocrisy. No? Yes? Do I hear a maybe?

an understatement - league weighing likely social media outrage to its softer product on the field.

there is no convienence to overlook Darryl Stingley among countless other player injury statistics because the cell phone wasnt invented yet,

Im sure the Bengals and the Bills among the league money coffers  are pissed they couldnt replay the game.

So how is the league overreacting? By cancelling the game?

 Yes. I thought that was clear.

Both teams agreed they were not going to be playing football that night. Not sure what other option the league had. As far as not resuming the game, both teams agreed not to play so why not let the game end in a tie? They stopped play at 6:07 left in the 1st quarter, not enough time to declare a winner. If you want to make a political issue out of this, then I guess the leauge has to come up with a contingency plan for something like this and how the scheduling of games will be handled if this ever happens again.

Let’s make a business issue out it.

Even though they only played roughly 15% of a complete game, do the players get 15% of their game check?

Will the fans receive a 85% refund on their tickets?

How about ESPN? Do they only pay to the NFL 15% of their TV money?

What do you consider fair?

I’m happy the kid is recovering, but this decision has ripple effects throughout the league and media broadcasting.
