[QUOTE="younggun308, post: 5543146, member: 4042"] I was annoyed when the refs called a Bengals’ TD back…after the stadium screens showed Damar Hamlin in a a box suite getting the crowd fired up. Felt too “right” for the narrative. But the review did show it was the right call. Felt the same way as you, that they were trying to will it to happen—even tennis players in the Australian open have #3 on their clothes. Somehow Hamlin’s plight has become “the thing” in sports media. Not annoyed at Hamlin himself. He went through something terribly scary, and it’s excellent he recovered. But I am annoyed at the way his story gets that “packaged” feeling after awhile. Real people’s lives become crutches for journalistic mediocrity. [/QUOTE]
