Damar Hamlin was NOT the first NFL Player to Collapse on the Field This Season

He didn't collapse, he suffered neck injury on the play.
I saw that, but much like with the Damar Hamlin incident, there was some oddities about the situation. One being that the ambulance didn't just take off to the hospital right away after loading him up. They spent quite a bit of time bringing down family which could have been spent at the hospital. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but the situation was weird. I remember watching and wondering why they didn't just take off immediately. I understand completely after looking him up that he has apparently been tweeting and is in decent health, but it still makes me question the reasoning behind waiting to leave for the hospital. I'm not trying to go deep into some witch hunt about whether or not he is actually ok, but how would any of us know for sure? The NFL is as corrupt as any other form of modern entertainment. Just accepting what commentary or a news feed gives me is absurd.
Nobody know about Saivion because nobody watches the Detroit lions. Ha.
rofl. i dont watch sportsball, but i remember the lions being an annual garbage team.
There's some truth to this. I speculate that Hamlin's situation may have been handled slightly differently if it wasn't the only game happening at the time and the entirety of the player+fan base wasn't watching it.
I had remembered while seeing the Damar Hamlin news come out that another player had collapsed on the field during a game. My wife and I were discussing how the situation was very similar to this current one. What didn't make any sense was that everyone had seemed to not know or had forgotten that Saivion Smith of the Detroit Lions also was unresponsive. He had a similar incident where the ambulance came on the field, took way more time that should be had taking him off the field, and had called his family down to the ambulance.
I remembered that too, wonder why it was suppressed in the media
Had to propogandize it imediately. Dont utter a word about this ever happening before so people dont start asking questions.
Much different injury though. Smith's was neck/spine related, and I from what I can gather it seems he had a pulse and was breathing, even if he was unresponsive ("unable to move or talk for several minutes").
The same story with slight differences was given for Damar Hamlin ( "has a pulse" ). The whole thing is fishy af. Like I said in another reply, I'm not trying to sound crazy, but give me a good reason why the NFL wouldn't just lie. How would any of us know what happened in that ambulance? I'm sorry, but I can't just take what these talking heads tell us as absolute.
I didn't hear anything about Hamlin having a pulse? I'm withholding judgement on his situation for the time being, although I agree there is some fishiness especially with the Feds now being involved (per Gateway Pundit).
For Savion Smith though, there's little-to-no evidence that it wasn't anything except a spinal injury:

And that's not coming from NFL talking heads. Occam's Razor supports it as spinal trauma too (not the case for Hamlin given the particulars of the hit).
Because CPR has almost never (if not never) been administered during NFL game
Yea well, the NFL continued that game. So what's up with that? Ominus sign for Hamlin.
