I was equally impressed with the Cincy fans. There are some NFL venues that probably would not have handled the situation as remarkably as they did. Thought they were very respectful.

Philly fans would of boo'd the ambulance.

It would be sure nice if the NFL cracked open the wallet and donated a few benjamins to Hamlins Go-Fund-Me Children's drive but NOPE.

Sort of embarrassing ?

NOPE.

Very Embarrassing ?

YUP !

The NFL has excellent health care and retirement now (they didn’t used to). And I am sure the owners will do the right things. Nothing is sorted yet. If I recall correctly Darryl Stingley had to sue to get the Patriots to pay his health care after he was paralyzed by Jack Tatum. Think about how much things have changed.

Brock Purdy...Mr. Irrelevant...the Cinderfella story!

[Boltdiehard]

Why is that?

The long term implications of this could be massive especially given everybody’s reaction which is understandable and a couple other posters here have mentioned this.

Why is that?

Liability is a nasty legal term.

FYI (you may know this by your post) ......

Thanks to John Mackey the 88 Plan (Mackey's number) was incorporated into the modern collective bargaining agreements between the NFL owners and the NFL players association.

Cut & paste ....

He was the first president of the National Football League Players Association following the AFL-NFL merger, serving from 1970 to 1973. Mackey was also a major reason the NFLPA created the "88 Plan", which financially supports ex-players who required living assistance in later years.
