I have no proof but there's common themes. A simple question leads to wondering if the poster lives in reality.
Very fair point.
I actually was talking to a friend about this today.....not logging, but the idea some professions are deemed "heros" (like firefighters.....no disrespect intended)
...but many other professions are more dangerous, save people's lives, etc.
I do think the NFL seems to be one of the more dangerous sports with the least amount of compensation compared to baseball (meaning, contracts not guaranteed)
And they also like to get paid, which they often don't when they don't play the games.
Cancelling other games is idiotic trolling bait. There's a reason this has only happened twice in the total history of the NFL -- it's a freak, miraculously-timed event occurrence. It's not even limited just to the NFL.
I said probably. He isnt out of the woods, but they got to him quick. His chances are pretty good.
Personally only a couple but I’ve heard a lot of stories from others in the field
Ok I swear I’m not coming down on you but what makes you think “his chances are pretty good?” Just because they got to him quick? I literally had a patient die in the waiting room recently because he took a turn. This idea that because medical care is implemented in a timely manner that a patient will be ok is a stupid trope from TV that needs to stop. Yeah you’re right he could be ok. He could also die. He could also be alive but a vegetable or have limited brain function and never be the person he was. Even if my initial thoughts are correct and he has CC we don’t know **** about what his vitals are.
Again I promise I’m not coming down on you but this idea of medicine being able to fix everything is causing real problems in this country.
Just hope he returns as close to normal and with all his physical and mental abilities. Playing NFL football again is low priority. I’m not optimistic on his full recovery just hope he can be released from the hospital some day. All that was going on in the stadium was keeping him alive long enough to give him a chance.
I'm not saying they will. My whole point is they wont just cancel the games that don't matter. If the players decide they are not comfortable playing this weekend (as @CyJack13 eluded to), the PA will push to have all the games cancelled. Either all the games get cancelled (which I doubt happens) or none of them get cancelled.
Wow, didn’t know that. The NFL gets a lot of ****, much of it deserved, but they have planned for something like this even though it’s never happened. Kudos to them and they might have saved someone’s life. Usually it takes something worse before organizations are fully prepared.
I don't know the rate % but an increase in cardiac events in young people was happening prior to Covid. It was largely thought to be connected to increases in diabetes, etc. which have been going on for decades.
I lost a late-30s cousin in November who was diabetic and they're awaiting autopsy results but the general theme is his heart basically stopped with no event.
Glad to hear them being referred to as "athletic trainers" and not just "trainers". That's been a big push in the industry and academia to get broadcasters always refer to them as "athletic trainers" to make a clear differentiation between and avoid people thinking that athletic trainers are the same thing as personal/fitness trainers at the gym. There's a lot of education and training that goes into that field.
Did the NHL or baseball cancel when the same things happened? Hell I remember when the Royals minor league coach died of a line drive to the head which happens every few years sadly.
