You would have thought that Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who made a miraculous recovery after collapsing on the field after his heart stopped, would have been a huge part of the Bills-Bengals playoff game.
Instead of giving an on-field interview or tossing the coin to start the game, he was relegated to being a shadowy, masked figure we saw occasionally throwing up heart signs from a luxury suite.
Jason has a theory about why Hamlin wasn’t center stage for one of the NFL’s biggest games.
“The unholy alliance between television and social media has greatly increased the separation between reality and truth.” Is Hamlin being advised by his handlers to hold out for an interview offering the biggest check, or is he in negotiations to hide the real reasons behind his injury?
The Damar Hamlin mystery coupled with Shannon Sharpe picking a fight with the Memphis Grizzlies — then apologizing — adds to Jason’s assertion that America prefers entertainment over truth.
