Never mind, just saw the tweet. Disgusting POS.
What did I miss? Who is Skip? What is his role in this incident?
so he likely experienced an incredibly rare event where a sharp blow at the exact right angle during a several millisecond window of his heartbeat caused his heart to go into vfib. It has about a 60% survival rate and increases if CPR and a defibrillator are used within the first few minutes. I’m hopeful he makes it through ok
TV personality. He’s more worried about finishing the game instead of the lives of the players that actually play the game
Makes me think about how potentially dangerous this sport really is. This must be awful for his family and teammates.
this is his agent. Sounds like good news
This is amazing. Check out the original goal:
I haven't seen any updates lately, but RG3 is one of the guys with his mind in the right place.
The medical term is Commotio Cordis:
Commotio cordis is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart at a point during the cycle of a heartbeat where the heart is about to reset for another pumping cycle. This leads to commotio cordis by disrupting the normal heart electrical activity, followed instantly by ventricular fibrillation and complete disorganization of the heart's pumping function.
Happy to hear that.
Just announced he is “neurologically intact “, great sign. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have no idea what that means, but I assume that his brain was not severely damaged from a lack of oxygen. Can someone who knows clarify?
Thank the Lord! So happy to hear this. Lots of prayers going up for him across the country for sure 🙏
