Reply to The Dark Pageant of the NFL by rverne8

I'm not a big fan of the NFL but I don't think what happened to Hamlin can be totally blamed on football. As a survivor of sudden cardiac arrest myself, I expect we are going to learn that he had a heart arrhythmia problem that he may not have been aware of. He knows it now, he may get an ICD (defibrillator) and probably has played his last game. Celebrate that he survived without looking to place blame on something nobody could've foreseen.

> Was one of his miracles stopping Damar's heart?

I don't believe it was a miracle. I fully believe everything has a cause and effect and randomness is just something we don't have good tools to determine. I also have no reason to believe that any sort of lord would exist. It could exist, but there's no way to tell. And if it did exist it would be impossible to determine whether any of it was a miracle.

> His heart stopping on a routine play like that is much more unlikely. Maybe some divine intervention from some twisted diety who also likes to give children cancer and can make food appear out of nowhere (Exodus 16:1–36) but chooses to let people starve to death.

Yes, if there's a lord it seems that it really doesn't care and it might seem more likely that the World is being simulated by this lord for example entertainment or research purposes. But even then if a lord is simulating everything, and can intervene with certain actions that could be considered miracles, if the game was to score as many points as possible, the lord would be able to do that in the hospital. So maybe it's a video game, where you have to score as many points doing miracles.

Because the reason Damar survived is that everybody followed their training. Him recovering after briefly losing his heartbeat is not "miraculous", it's was actually pretty likely because of the prompt care he got.

His heart stopping on a routine play like that is much more unlikely. Maybe some divine intervention from some twisted diety who also likes to give children cancer and can make food appear out of nowhere (Exodus 16:1–36) but chooses to let people starve to death.

Reply to comment by ChronWeasely in The Jaguars score from a turnover to go ahead against the Titans, they will make the playoffs after starting 4-8 and being 4 games behind in the division by PodOfManyTides

You would think after watching years of Stafford, Mahomes, Rodgers make sidearm/shovel passes people would recognize their is more than a single way to complete a passes. It’s called a forward pass and the ball went ten yards passed the LOS before being picked up by the Jags. It was a terrible call and sabotaged the Titans season. I say that as a neutral observer.
