NFL Players Called Out For Mocking CPR On Field After Damar Hamlin Cardiac Arrest

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Players on the Pittsburgh Steelers are being called out by NFL fans for their behavior during Sunday’s match against the Cleveland Browns. Alex Highsmith made a successful tackle against his opponent. Highsmith then laid on the field when his teammate decided to go over to him and start performing mock CPR.

This stunt comes days after Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest after making a tackle on Monday Night Football during a match against Cincinnati Bengals.

Shortly after Hamlin collapsed, medics rushed to the field and used a defibrillator to restart his heart. He was then rushed to the hospital where he was announced to be in critical condition. However, on Saturday Hamlin made made a post on social media post—his first since the incident.

He posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed wearing a t-shirt that supported his journey. He wrote: “GAMETIME!!! @BuffaloBills” and included a blue heart. The Buffalo Bills confirmed that Hamlin had his breathing tube removed.

1. That I believe won't go over well with Coach Tomlin of the Steelers.

Coach Tomlin is a close friend of Damar.....Damar is from Pittsburgh and went to University of Pittsburgh....he has known Damar since Damar was 12.

6. Tomlin is the one who has allowed this type of BS to continue

Multiple penalties this season for street clothes players taking part in celebrations.

2. I wonder if he will go back to playing?

11. Heard A Doc Talk About That

On WGN news. Doctor was a cardiologist from Northwestern, but I forgot his name.
He said it's possible Hamlin could return to football if (BIG IF) tests show that this was in fact a freak accident and that he has no condition that made him more likely for this to occur.
He refused to give odds, other than to say that if they found a condition or a defect, his chance of returning to football was zero.

12. Thx, Professor.

I can't imagine him returning.

3. It's time for the Steelers owners to deal with this.

4. Brainless Insensitivity.

5. Unbelievable.

7. Have seen

this a few times this year while watching games. They need to stop doing this after last Monday nights game. Do ring around the Rosie instead-only kidding 😐

10. The ring around the Rosie was hilarious! And it damn near worked.

[Rebl2]

14. True

It did almost work! Actually Mahomes and Reed called it the snow globe play ❄️❄️❄️

8. Wow. Steelers culture really never recovered from Date Rape Ben days

Right down there with the Vikings at a new low water mark.
Assholes.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I'm Not Even Sure...

...that one of Rapelisburger's incidents was date rape. It was much closer to forcible rape. In the back room of a bar. He's filth.

[Better Days Ahoy]

15. Thank you for that info. I'd blocked some details.

Probably out of disgust. Liked your name for Big Ben.
I'm always disappointed when NFL commentators laud praise on him, although it's not as often as for other former QBs.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. He's Also...

...one lucky toe tackle, from flat on his back, from not even going to that 1st superbowl.
If that idiot returning the fumble would have run 2 feet to the left (with nobody within 15 yards of him) there's no lucky tackle. (The fool tried to stride over a long-armed, 6'5" guy. Duh!)
I think he's the most overrated QB in my time of watching football.

9. I'm a lifelong Steelers Fan

But this is tacky and tone-deaf. Especially because Damar Hamlin is from Pittsburgh!
