Last night, US President Joe Biden paid a visit to Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The president had talked with his family and doctors about the health of their child.
Previously, the 24-year-old sustained a fatal cardiac arrest after taking a horrific hit by his opponent’s helmet while completing a tackle. Since then, Hamlin has remained in the ICU under the supervision of medical personnel. His family is also staying beside him during the president’s visit.
What did Joe Biden say regarding the horrific injury?
While visiting the hospital, the president inquired about details regarding the defender’s health. “I spoke with his mother and father at length,” Biden said. After that, he went to continue his regular ordeal; however, he took a short moment with the reporters just before boarding Air Force One.
“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 POTUS said.
