Every NFL Fan's Reaction to Week 17

Obviously this was delayed after Monday Night Football. I hope this is able to provide some levity while Damar Hamlin recovers.

[@ladybuzzkillington2072]

I always feel like "yeah no shit I want my team to win. But like, I don't want anyone, even on my most hated team, to ever get injured. Just like I don't want the guy who works at McDonald's to get in a car crash. Sure I don't like him because he always messes up my burgers. But I don't want him to be hurt. I'd like to believe most people can have the level of empathy. Because the true beauty of the game is when we all can come together and celebrate our game. This is meant to be fun. It's never good to see someone get hurt. The look on the players faces really tells a message.

[@EckoEch]

@@ladybuzzkillington2072 unless your name is Skip

[@samuellanghus1455]

@@EckoEch I read his timeline and it seems mostly taken out of context. Concern about Hamlin was a first couple of tweets, then brought up the up-in-the-air question about “what happens with the scheduling now?” still deferring to player’s safety before anything else. Like, I _really_ don’t like Skip, but pretending he cared more about football than player’s injuries seems bad faith and asinine. Even in the case Skip meant it? Ignore it, move on, don’t give the man any credit nor attention for it, because he’d benefit from bad publicity.

Well done, Tom. I wasn’t exactly sure how you were going to do this after all that’s happened, but you knocked it out of the park. Praying for Damar.

[@jml5100]

Not sure how he would do it? He could literally do it exactly the same as he always does and it would be fine. It's not bad to add that part at the end, but it's not like he had to. What happened sucks, but it's not like the entire world is obligated to stop everything they are doing or required to make a comment about it. The reality is lots of people have terrible freak accidents every day. This one just happened to be on national television. So unless you expect everybody to stop their own lives and pay respects to everyone who ever gets seriously injured then you shouldn't have any expectation that Tom or anyone else would do anything different in this case either. The guy is in the hospital getting taken care of. Nothing Tom could do would make him any better or worse.

As a Buffalo Bills mafia member. I spent a lot of hours watching the games and news of the Bills. One of my favorite parts of this season was watching Damar Hamlin play. He quickly became one of my favorite players because of his play style and kindness to his community. Being able to watch him grow and succeed as a player. My thoughts and prayers are with him and I and wishing him a healthy recovery, I can’t wait to see him back on the field.💙💙🙏

[@huchlvr]

I don't see how he ever returns. Even if he gets cleared physically, eventually, psychologically & emotionally this event may haunt him. And his mother might also explain how she felt watching her son be administered CPR, and tell him she can't gp through that again. Several athletes in different sports who have gone through similar events throughout the years (not counting leg breaks, because it isn't the same), have tried returning and couldn't handle it. (ok, the soccer player was the rare case and good for him)

[@jacksonconley5117]

I don’t see him playing football again, he’ll be lucky if he even makes a full recovery and lives a long life.
