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
Most of them are trading a shortened life for money. That's not bravery, it's a calculated decision made that puts fame and money over a longer life.
The life expectancy of an NFL player is 59.6 years. I wonder how many of them would have given all the money back for one extra year of life.
