This was seen once when he was sporting alongside Danish footballer Christian Eriksen in the Euros. It was terrifying at the time and I am still traumatized to this day. Eriksen is back in the World Cup and now plays for Man United. May Hamlin survive and come back healthy 🙏

This situation gives me the chilling vibe of Christian Eriksen having a heart attack and needing CPR on a football field. This is the closest I can think of.

I have called thousands of soccer, basketball, baseball and football games.
I only remember Christian Eriksen situations similar to this (another sport, football).
Let’s wish Hamlin a successful recovery, as the Danish midfielder did.
