>Suddenly, the big “existential” questions about football that we prefer not to think too hard about came crashing through our blockades of denial: Should a civilized culture really be sanctioning this? Can a game played by men of such size and speed ever be safe?

The team are shit without him and he’s the best QB in franchise history, it would be dumb to get rid of him for someone inevitably worse. The only issue is how much guaranteed money he’s asking for (he essentially wants a Deshaun Watson contract), which is the only reason a deal isn’t already done. The NFLPA pushing for fully guaranteed contracts paired with Jackson’s lack of agent has made these negotiations way more complicated than they needed to be (he was already offered a contract with more guaranteed money than everyone but Watson and higher APY than everyone but Mahomes, which he refused on grounds he could bet on himself this year and he wanted essentially a fully guaranteed contract (which the Ravens will never give him)

That turnover by TEN should have been an incomplete pass since their QB had forward motion and was propelling the ball forward with his own force before it fell on the field and was ruled a fumble, but for whatever reason the refs looked at it for all of 2 seconds before they confirmed it.

Christians who attribute any bit of a good outcome to prayer are deluded people. Take that as you will. In my personal experience, religiosity is a trauma response/coping mechanism. It doesn’t make them bad or not worthy of everything good life has to offer, but it does make them naive. They may not understand or care how disrespectful it is to downplay the efforts of medical professionals saving a man’s life by saying it’s, “probably a mixture of the doctors and the prayer.” It’s not. Obviously. In only 1 of 2 scenarios does Hamlin not die on that field. It’s not the one where everyone immediately starts mass prayer.

My dude, you could ask a thousand medical professionals if a well treated patient thanking God offends them, and makes them feel insulted that people are thanking God before them and all their years of hard work, and 1000 of them would say no.

Let people express themselves. No need to tear the dude down.

I didn’t say that was ok. I just said he could of been better with the delivery of his message like you phrased it. Collective people, knowledge, and experience helped produce a great outcome for Hamlin. No reason to shit on someone’s religion and say their god doesn’t care about them. That’s not productive and it’s an attack instead of information.
