A scary situation is developing in Cincinnati as Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin collapsed at mid-field. Hamlin is at the hospital and in “critical condition,” per the NFL. Hamlin is a second-year player out of the University of Pittsburgh. He received CPR and was taken to UC hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
If you have time, please consider donating to Damar Hamlin’s charitable foundation which has seen over 30,000 new donors, and $700,000 in the last hour.
