It is a dangerous game... but they must feel the good pay is worth the risk of injury now and in the future. Players are hurt bad all the time in this sport... older players pay the price from head trama and arthritis when they are no longer young. I feel bad for the family and the young fellow injured... but ... he must have known the risk was always there of a bad injury and felt it was worth the risk.

A horrible tragedy....I pray that this young man fully recovers. We need a miracle.

@LadyAlice huh? No shooting, perceived racist or otherwise. We never get brutal weather. Not sure what city you believe I live in. We are enjoying some rain, very safe community for all. Sorry for the people that live in a city you may be referring to though.

@cjm61-Lady Alice was referring to the mass shooting at the Buffalo supermarket in May 2022 and the heavy snowfall which negatively impacted part of Buffalo which left 38 dead. I think there is an assumption that you are in Buffalo.

I hate football. It is a brutal sport.

In 1971 Detroit Lion Chuck Hughes died on the field during a game. I think it was cardiac arrest.
@traveler I had to look him up. He had a massive heart attack due to undiagnosed and advanced arteriosclerosis. He had a family history of heart disease. I don't know if the doctors that attended him on the field knew how serious his condition was b/c the game between the Lions and Bears continued. There was only about a minute left to play.

@ninjawife

I am commenting only on the Cardiovascular part of your post, nothing to do with the football game topic of this thread.

Everyone on the Maternal Side of my family died from heart disease. My mother in 1969. Back then there were no methods like today in detecting CAD, not even how to treat the enlarging of the heart muscle. Not even the present way of treating fluid retention caused by a weakened heart muscle.

I spent close to 5 years taking my mother to her doctor and to the hospital. What was known then, in comparison to now? My experience came from my own 2 heart attacks, and the reasons I am still alive. In short: advances in coronary artery disease, in both detection and treatment.

The case you mention in 1971? Could have likely have been much different were the technologies and Medical Advances available to Mr. Chuck Hughes.

CAD advances saved my life in 2003 and 2007. Hopefully those same advances will do the same for the player discussed in this thread.

@cjm61 - I’m very, very sorry. I should not made that assumption. Please forgive my stupidity.

What scares me is the length of time he was deprived of oxygen. How does the brain and internal organs rebound after that much time? I feel this young man will survive but I pray there are minimal long term conditions. I'll add that I have no objections to any comments made on this thread - we are all just trying to process what we've heard and read.

So thankful to hear that he is inproving today. God does indeed answer prayer, but this was a very serious event and I am certain he has a long road to full recovery.

Trailrun23 · ‎05-31-2022

I was happy to hear positive reports on his recovery today, but was also concerned anew when I heard his heart had to be restarted twice on the field. That means he was without oxygen twice. A dr said two minutes without oxygen is usually the max that can a person can tolerate without any effects on the brain. Let's pray the oxygen he was given on the field and en route to the hosptial was adequate.
