So.
How did one of the wranglers of some of the worst people in the world, a very finest of the fine fellow named Mr. Tucker Carlson, respond?
Why, of course, by further pushing the baseless rumour envelope while simultaneously smearing anyone who rightfully tried to tear that envelope into tiny pieces before it becomes a talking point on the Sunday shows and legitimate OpEd pages everywhere.
...On his programme that night (Tuesday January 3), Fox News personality Tucker Carlson falsely stated that (Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar) Hamlin endured a “heart attack” and said medical experts who dismissed Covid-19-related conspiracy theories are “lying” and “witch doctors”.He (Carlson) continued: “Hamlin was lying on the field receiving CPR when self-described medical experts in the media, people with no demonstrated medical ethics at all, effectively witch doctors, decided to use his tragic life-threatening injuries [as] an opportunity to spread still more propaganda about the Covid shots. ‘It could not have been the shot,’ they told you. ‘Shut up.’ They’re lying. They don’t know anything more than we know, which is effectively nothing.”...
Shut up, indeed.

Meanwhile, the fellow in the video at the top of the post, Garret Bush, speaks truth to the billionaires about the least they should be doing for the young kids who put their bodies at risk every time they step on the field.

Oh man, now that was a righteous tirade. He’s right. The owners have the money, lots of it. Do the right thing. Make sure these guys are protected with benefits, insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, financially secure, support for families, among other things.
I love football but I don’t want to see anyone hurt, I don’t want to see anyone lose everything because they were injured during their usually pretty short career.
Need to find better ways to recreate.

And don't forget, many of these young kids, particularly in this particular industry/sport, do NOT have guaranteed contracts.

I hear you.
I played US'ian-type football, albeit on the wider field with 12 players and three downs, for a few years as a kid.
And I loved it.
But I am, even more so now as I get older, feeling the effects, even in the knee what was surgically repaired 45 years ago now.
The thing is I still love watching it, especially with my Pops.
But, again, I do hear you.
Maybe I need to switch over to watching his rugby with him, which I also played for a few years as a kid and most definitely did not not love. However, that was probably because they made me play hooker all the time.
