Real **** Grom,

My brother passed April 2021 at 27 years young. This incident has utterly decimated my family, parents will never be the same and now I deal with PTSD and other random subconscious trauma's stemming from that incident.

Folks need to give the family space and the media needs to stop trying to martyr this dude before he's even dead. All outlets, including ESPN are constantly shelling out updates for clicks and views. His tragedy is their revenue stream and average Joe and Jane American lap it up and willfully provide. Media will do whatever they can do to keep our attention away from real life issues that affect us all. We peons matter too, it's just who actually cares?

Brother watch that PTSD. It can cause you to spiral into a depression. I've been there. Two people in my platoon have killed themselves so just be mindful brother.

Pretty crazy isn’t it? Doctors do and say what big Pharma tells them, or they are out of business. Period.

I also find it funny and sad at the same time that people viciously defend the vaccines that have already killed and injured thousands of people, including many many soccer players and other endurance athletes.

That’s okay though, because this will begin to happen more and more and they will have to crawl out of their Cognitive Dissonance and swallow some crow.

I'm a respiratory therapist who was lied to repeatedly about the vaccine and you're right on big pharma owning these doctors. But it saved countless lives and how many people has COVID killed? Millions. I support everyone's right to refuse it. I unfortunately had to get vaccinated for my job and I don't know anyone whose had trouble with the vax. I'm up to 22 people whom I've watched die from COVID and only two were vaccinated. Now that's just my personal experienceb over 3 years.

People die every single day. Oh okay, because it hit the elite of the elite we’re supposed to pretend it’s an incredible event. I hope he’s okay just like I hope everyone who’s experiencing trauma is okay. I never see ESPN care when it’s someone I’ve been mentoring in trauma and therapy, they push nothing but political “us vs. them” everyday and they want everyone to care when the freakish of the freak happens to the elite 1%, yea okay.

I’ve been to 3 funerals since 2018 of kids in the city of Memphis who overdosed and were killed by bullets and I never heard the first word of anyone from ESPN who gave a damn. They just push political propaganda end to end which hurts so many that I work with. It’s propaganda that hurts the clients I work with daily.

But now, because it’s a rich 1%er athlete they care.

Sorry, I don’t feel the same as many of you. Just because the TV props it up I don’t feel the same. Kids are dying everyday because nobody gives a **** until it hits your team and your preferred colors. I’m sorry but this hit me hard. Cry for everyone dealing with death, spare me the rarity that had enough in bank to handle it when tragedy happens.

This isn’t about the player. It’s about everyone at that network who pushes this nonsense for political gain.

I’ve got an appointment with a poor mother from Ripley Tennessee who just saw her son get gunned down in their driveway a while back, she meets with me at 12:30 today. Who are you crying for?

Having said that, I pray for his recovery. But people supporting the same people espn supports need perspective. They’re the problem. And I don’t feel sorry for Ryan Clark. He’s a 1%er coward in a suit that is detrimental the to cause I serve. F*** espn and the ******** they serve up which I feel is killing my clients constantly.

Good post. When people see someone gunned down or killed or hurt badly, it has an impact. This was on national TV and it was surprising, because people view pro athletes as somehow immune. Some youngish guy dies in his cubicle and it is easy to imagine he was out of shape, had a congenital problem, or suffered from some chronic undetected problem. Shock value of it on your TV and involving an elite athlete changes perspective. Add to that the hype of the media and people are aroused.

The deaths of young people each week from suicide and murder is thrown at us, when revealed at all, as a stat. This many killed over the weekend, kind of stuff. Much easier for people to drop their heads and move past statistics when they don’t know the victims or see the event.

So, we make a big deal about one man and overlook hundreds that suffered untimely events the very same day. For the one, media often pushes an agenda that is supposed to make us feel we can change outcomes or do better. For the unnamed many, media gives us a stat that suggests there is nothing we can do, this just happens.

That is going to be pretty hard to scrub. YouTube has murders and a politician who committed suicide on live TV. You're not going to be able to stop this from popping up.

I don't think Hamlin is going to make it but I pray that he does.
