I might be misremembering but wasn't it some War Vet who gave him the
"kneeling during the anthem"  Idea?  

 

It was. He specifically sought a way to be respectful.

He was demonized largely by complete idiots who absolutely understood nothing about what he was doing.

The NFL got scared that it would alienate the fanbases, which in hindsight was absolutely not the case at all. People who stopped watching or claimed to, largely were never dedicated fans or in a lot of cases literally did not watch NFL in the first place.

I don’t know about y’all but it’s disgusting the NFL is slowly quietly trying to float the idea that maybe the tackle didn’t cause this. I’m sure their legal team is playing it hard for when the lawsuits start flowing. 

There is no way the NFL is going to be sued, are you serious?  

This was a completely random incident.  You know how low the odds of this happening are?  There's been billions of tackles in NFL history and this is the first time (to my knowledge) this has happened.  It was a freak accident.  It requires getting hit at the absolutely perfect moment and it isn't like the contact between Higgins and Hamlin was beyond the norm.  Nobody is getting sued and I'm sure the NFL and/or Bills will take care of Hamlin for however long he needs it.

And I know everyone wants to treat the NFL as this evil business but it was the medical staff on the field that kept him alive.  Why would the Hamlin family sue them?  They would almost certainly lose.

Lungs healing is an interesting statement. Maybe we aren't correct in our assumptions or maybe that's CPR damage?

I’m guessing his lungs suffered extensive damage too. Even with getting his heart beating again and hopefully blood going to his brain that doesn’t mean his lungs were getting the electrical signals or oxygen in they needed to function. I don’t want to assume.

But he could have had one or both collapse from the stress/oxygen deprivation/CPR. With all that gear strapped on tight. There’s only so much room in the chest cavity for the lungs to fill and if the gear impacted it that could have been an issue too.

Not a medical doctor but I do think cpr for that long a time can itself cause some damage, plus all of the other complications you mentioned...

Aka I don't think we should assume we were wrong about what happened yet.

Been a long time since I took a CPR class though.  One of the doctors on the forum will know more, I'm sure.

the more I read about what happened to Hamlin the more I realize this was not just a football injury. This could happen to any one of us with the right chest trauma. Some how that makes it scarier because most of us dont have a ambulance on standby. 

From what i have heard a doctor explain of the incident and the specific condition its called the impact to the chest had to be at an exact point in the heart beat cycle in order to induce a heart attach. Its almost impossible to do without it being a random freak accident.  The odds are astronomical of it happening again.

I think the quoted stats are less than 50 cases of this a year on average of that commotio cortis happening.

I'm not surprised. The cloud of CTE still hangs over the NFL. They don't need a new version of that. If they can potentially deflect away from this being an artifact of the game they play I fully expect them to do that.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
