i’m gonna come out and say it. This charity giving is dumb. Do people here actually think Damar Hamlin has a staff handling his toys for kids charity? Who do these people think is handling this money?  While I don’t have a definitive answer,  it is most assuredly Damar himself who, quite frankly, is a little busy at the moment.

 

maybe people could just wait a hot second and let things settle down.

 

It’s really just about people feeling sad and helpless and wanting to do something. Sometimes people feel the need to give for something happy.  Unfortunately tonight it’s for something sad.

Likely the NFL wanted to let them decide.  Also, it’s hard to have the proper perspective from a TV.  No one saw or could feel what those players did who were right there watching the cpr.  Hopefully the Bills, Bengals and/or NFL have PTSD counselors, even if Hamlin is okay some players will need them.

It’s one of the ways people are praying, putting resources into something Damar Hamlin cares about.  Maybe there’s an irrationality to it but it’s about emotion.  People have to put their emotions somewhere.  Who cares about how the money is processed right now?

[Steptide]

Gonna try and sleep. Be good to each other people. This is unlike anythjng we've ever dealt with or seen. Emotions are running high

Shallow take. You think the money's going to expire? It's a way to show support and love in a tough moment. If and when he hopefully wakes up, you don't think it'll make him happy to see all of that?

 

Don't let trying to be edgy be the enemy of being decent.

make that 1001.

I donated. It's all I felt that I could do at the moment, besides pray.

Seriously, it’s not that hard of a concept. I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand here.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned already.  I wish I had DVR'd the game, but I swear, when Taron Johnson went down to injury (a dirty head blow by Hayden Hurst in my opinion, shocked that they didn't at least look at it) for some reason, when Joe Buck said that Hamlin was coming in, they briefly showed him coming off the sideline, putting his helmet on...he looked uncomfortable to me then. At the time, I just thought it was perhaps concern for Johnson..or knowing that he has become sort of a fan whipping boy over the last 6 weeks or so....I didn't think it was that unusual...but I noticed it immediately.  It's not the kind of thing I would normally notice, it was just a brief shot.  Maybe it was nothing.Did anyone else see this?

This isn't the thread for this IMO, but the NFL gave them 5 minutes to get back on the field. It was Zac Taylor coming over to to talk to Sean. The NFL then said said temporarily suspended until further notice....don't stick up for the NFL

Siran Neal came in for Johnson.

They did. The Cinci fans were 1st class.

Your reading skills are to be commended. 🙄

 

Do you know if anyone is actually able to receive this money? If people want to express their concern and it had to be done this very minute there are countless places to donate money where their ability to handle such influx is known.

$1.1M and counting will help pay for a staff, don’t worry.  Maybe you could wait a hot second and settle down.

Hamlin was already on the field, wasn’t he? He’s the safety and Taron is the nickel cornerback. Siran Neal came in to replace TJ.

yea, even if it’s the worst scenarios I can come up with, i see no real downside to a million dollars going to a cause he cares about.
