What if I told you the scene of @HamlinIsland collapsing has happened on high school fields across America again and again, but unlike in Damar's case, there was no emergency response or equipment to save an athlete's life? #SaferSidelines https://t.co/oSJ3Um1Fta

If we can make this for marathons, why can’t all athletic events mimic this? #SaferSidelines

D. Wayne Lukas' stable equipment and memorabilia was dispersed to the highest bidders this week. I wanted to know who wanted parts of Lukas' legacy and why. This is the things horsemen and racing fans carried home with them. #HorseRacing https://t.co/23nzMdQaTO

A save in southern Illinois💛 A Galatia junior high girl's basketball player collapsed in a game. The assistant coach, a registered nurse, used an AED. School: "...no doubt that their quick action & expertise saved this child’s life." #SaferSidelines https://t.co/DT1e1kePff

Dear Schools - If you pay someone to help an athlete use their body to score touchdowns or hit home runs or just compete for the school, then when that same body needs help, why is paying for someone to support it not in the budget? #SaferSidelines https://t.co/7Ma7O19g5q

It's Matthew Mangine Jr.'s 22nd birthday. It's also sudden cardiac arrest awareness month. It takes 3 steps to save a life: check-call-compress. Check breathing. Call 911. Compress hard and fast in the center of the chest. Maybe you didn't know. But now you do. #SaferSidelines

“We need only to penalize all hits to the head,” Ken Dryden wrote in his Player’s Tribune commentary, “because...whether it’s done intentionally or accidentally, whether it’s legal or illegal, the brain doesn’t distinguish. The damage is the same.”

This brutal hit on Alabama freshman WR Derek Meadows gave him a traumatic brain injury & knocked him unconscious. A targeting penalty was called, but it doesn't erase the TBI. Luckily he was able to walk off the field.
