For starters, this young man didn’t just go into cardiac arrest because he had a bad heart. His heart was traumatized by an event that was caused by being struck in between beats causing an electrical disturbance to his normal sinus rhythm. It has happened in Little League ball games to very young children and people should be more aware. My grandson wore a chest protector when he played for that exact reason. But getting back to the Buffalo/Bengal game, imagine the trauma felt by all of the players and staff. Imagine the criticism they would have undergone had the game carried on as if such a horrific event hadn’t occurred. And you are wrong. I have personally known of companies that sent their employees home when a sudden injury occurred. It happened when my own husband was killed at his job. It is called empathy.
