    1. Nothing to investigate further into. These are all “random” “rare” events (that seem to be happening much more often lately)…

  1. Hmm… cardiac issues seem to be a lot more common in pro athletes lately. I wonder what might be causing this?🤔

    1. @Notchefmike I did some research and the only other time a NFL player had a cardiac arrest on the field and actually died was in 1971, Chuck Hughes played for the Bears. He was a substitute receiver and was put into the game because of a injured receiver. He played a few plays then went down clutching his chest. Then had a heart attack and died on the field. After the autopsy they found he had clogged arteries around his heart and this is what really happened. This Damar just fell over backwards and did not even clutch his heart. Hope he is going to be ok.

  2. Yeah, let’s continue to pretend we don’t know why there has been a huge increase in heart related injuries.

    1. @James Balmforth if you dont know then you are not worthy to know. Almost 3 years amd you havent figured it out

    2. @Max Savage Is it bigger than my sweaty nutsuck? If not, then commence snacking immediately. (That got past the censors, Sparky)

  3. Yeah, sure it was??? Please, this isn’t the only healthy athlete dropping from a cardiac arrest in the past 2 years.

    1. He received his booster on December 26th. I don’t know if this is related to the cardiac arrest but it’s ok and should be ok to speculate as to whether it was. This doctor himself is speculating 0:25

    1. @edwarddiaz1130 I have never really been sure of that. Who high fives someone in the same color shirt and with the opposite hand? Isn’t it pretty much always right and right?

  4. BUAHAHAHA… Remember folks, don’t ask questions to get the real answer, follow “Doctor” Labos’ advice and SPECULATE.
    AND, don’t forget to get your booster! Its safe and effective. 🤡

  5. Scientists baffled again….Probably heard a referee’s whistle? Or too many hot showers? Or too many cold showers? Or something (not sure what)….. Weird.
    Hope he gets well soon (and all the other young athletes that have been mysteriously afflicted with heart health issues lately)

  6. All those doctors trying to save themselves with all kinds of explanations just so nobody will condemn them for recommending something that not everyone should have taken.
    Nice try doctor. Unfortunately doctors lost a lot of people’s respect and credibility in the last 2 years.

  7. That gentle hit caused it? Way to lose all credibility from the expert doctor LOL not even a MENTION of myocarditis.

  8. how about y’all go to med school and get a degree before you start discrediting an expert of that field lol
