This is so different from Hank Gathers, Loyola Marymount All American basketball player who collapsed and died in 1990. He died of a heart anomaly as a result of a birth defect. Nobody thought it could happen to them.
Scott Van Pelt is fighting back tears as he reports. They say it's about Damar Hamlin. It is, but it's way bigger than that. Who will be the first to speak the truth?
This is history happening. God bless this man.
Edit: first report on his condition is CRITICAL
Very true. I can't find the original video that gave a very good look at this. I did find this though. From this view, it looks like the hit was more in the chest than it was the helmet area. This doctor seems to think it was for this reason, the injury occurred. I watched the game and saw the play. It didn't seem like anything extraordinary. I once knew a dad, who's son got hit in the chest with a line drive ball in baseball that died as a result of the damage it did to his heart. What a terrible tragedy.
