Damar Hamlin - Lets Rally Around This Kid As A Community

[wu-dai clan]

I was living in Boston when Darryl Stingley was injured. I thought that was the worst thing I've ever seen in sports. This is so much worse. It's all I've been able to think about tonight.

Understandable, cmplxgal.
Try to separate the personal, emotional impact from the medical outlook, if you can.

It looks encouraging.
It seems to be stabilizing.

For all of us, our time here is precious.

The way he stood up & then collapsed again was absolute nightmare stuff. Bone chilling in its calm & lack of drama.

I bet many dads with a boy in here saw their own son collapse in that moment.

Just a brutal situation, and every ounce of sympathy & will I have to spare is with Hamlin & his family tonight.

Thank you, Wu.

Prayers for the young man. Many, many prayers.

I changed the title of this thread. I want us to rally up the mojo for this kid. Whatever it is you guys do...without making this a religion discussion etc. I will allow "Prayers" etc but lets not turn this into a spiritual debate etc. I am totally scarred by my own sons knockout during his final rugby game against Baylor a few years ago and this experience with Hamlin really sort of brought that back up for me. Just the helplessness as a parent. I had to see it happen on TV. And my son was just laying there unconscious. No CPR etc. But it ended his career. And he still has memory issues. Struggling to find work now. Concussions really took its toll on my boy....but im not sure what Hamlin is dealing with. But he is a kid and there are family and friends suffering for him right now. And i am constantly blown away at the power you men and women here at the Blues seem to wield through the unification of MOJO.

So lets rally for this kid. Prayers up.

I'm praying for your boy too.

Seems like a great kid who has been through it:

Now over $2.9M.

Latest reports on WAPO have it at over $3.5 million.

I'm so proud of you guys for contributing. Not just here, but all over the NFL, you are really kicking ass IMHO.

Praying for his full recovery.

Seems like a great kid who has been through it:

He was playing very well, especially considering his draft position. He's been quite a contributor -- I believe he's second on the team in tackles.

Sending mucho MOJO across the pond to Cincinnati.
Keep fighting Damar!

I’m upset and my wife is sitting here reading about Hamlin’s charity and crying.

So many of these football players are great people.

Hamlin has a go fund me account. A charity for kids.

Last night my daughter called me to ask "dad are you ok?"

I could not lie to her.

I wasn't ok.
