The entire sporting community is appreciating the pro-active approach of NFL officials from Monday night. After Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a catastrophic cardiac arrest mid-game, everyone got panicked. However, the officials made the right call and decided to suspend the ongoing game between Chicago Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.
Now, FS1’s host of ‘The Herd of Colin Cowherd’ has commented on the situation. Praising the urgency displayed to call off the match as soon as possible, Colin Cowherd acknowledged the NFL officials. Mentioning how at times of crisis, communication becomes absolutely hard, he just questioned the timeline to make the decision. At the end, the former ESPN host cleared the air and said that it might’ve took some minutes to convey their message on-field.
Then, he scrolled through history books and recalled Owen Hart’s WWE death. While on NFL’s side, Colin commended their humanity to suspend the game after Damar’s tragedy, he bashed Vince McMahon for mishandling Hart’s demise.
