The family of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin received a visit from President Joe Biden on Wednesday, two days after the player went into cardiac arrest on the field during 'Monday Night Football.'

A sign shows support for Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin outside Highmark Stadium on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2023, in Orchard Park, N.Y. Hamlin was taken to the hospital after collapsing on the field during an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night in Cincinnati. The family of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin received a visit from President Joe Biden on Wednesday, two days after the player went into cardiac arrest on the field during"Monday Night Football.

"You've got guys that are 6-foot-8, 340 pounds running a 4.8 40, hit somebody with that kind of force — now that's not what happened here. I don't know how you avoid it. I think working like hell on the helmets and the concussion protocols, that all makes a lot of sense. But it is dangerous and you've got to just acknowledge it."

The haunting scene led to the NFL taking the unprecedented step of suspending the Week 17 game indefinitely, and it seems unlikely the league will be able to play the rest of the game given that the regular season is set to end this weekend with the playoffs starting a week later.

Video of Joe Burrow warming up after Damar Hamlin collapse sparks debateA clip of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow throwing a football after Damar Hamlin collapsed has led to some saying that players were told to warm up This is a crock of shit. A traumatic event occurred and people move to what they know best and what comforts them. For some, tossing the ball might have given them that comfort. Targeting the league at this point is irresponsible. Game was postponed 65 minutes after. Why is Shitweek trying to continue a pathetic narrative!

Joe Buck, ESPN push back on NFL over ‘five minutes’ report after Damar Hamlin collapseJoe Buck, ESPN push back on NFL over 'five minutes' report after Damar Hamlin collapse Can everyone just step back and cut both the NFL and these commentators some slack. They ultimately made the right decision during a chaotic and sensitive situation. Joe Cluck! My guess is that it came from the refs who were just trying to follow protocols and the NFL didn't want to throw them under the bus.
