Reply to comment by IBOGANAUT in Damar Hamlin awake and holding hands with family, his agency tells CNN, following his cardiac arrest during NFL game by adria2na

Really not important. Even if he was physically able to he might not want to continue. He’s alive and that’s amazing.

No shit "He's alive and that's amazing". You still have a young guy that loves football, wanted a career, got his first start this year in a winning team and obviously wanted to negotiate a lucrative contract with a winning franchise. Yes, he could be re-thinking his whole life but my question is could he keep playing if he wanted to.

Why would anyone here know that? Doctors probably don’t even understand the extent of the damage to his heart or brain. When your heart stop the muscles can atrophy quickly. Thankfully they were minutes from the UC medical facility which means health care was quick.

Since for whatever reason the woke mob just can't seem to wrap their heads around what you're asking... I'll answer your question for you: currently there is no ruling or jurisdiction within the NFL that states players suffering from pre-existing conditions or underlying conditions may be barred from playing future games, however there is a little leeway there because obviously there's the scenario with concussion victims usually being held out another week to avoid further brain injury. Considering this was not a head trauma incident and is strictly related to him being struck in the chest with great force causing a cardiac arrest event... It's not the first time it's happened in professional sports but it's the first time it's happened in the NFL and there is no precedent for it so I would have to assume it would be up to him, his family doctors etc if you would like to play again. However the NFL would not be stopping him I don't think, not without at least some new clauses being written into effect.

Stop using woke as a slur. You just look dumb.

We all get it and hate this people but that word is never going to help you in any way.

Ignore me if you want. Just trying to help and make your life easier. Maybe just think of another way to say what you want to say. That word has lost all meaning.
