I think the reason they refer to it as an injury is the possibility that what happened is commotio cordis...which is caused by an impact to the chest wall. That is rare and typically happens to younger athletes. However, if you watch the play are remember how powerful these world class athletes are...RedheadedStranger » 04 Jan 2023, 11:34 am » wrote: ↑ One thing I have noticed about the Hamlin incident is that the media keeps referring to it as an "injury".
Kind of a weird classification for a heart attack.
There has been an uptick in young, fit, professional athletes collapsing on the field from heart related issues in the last year as well. Close to 800 instances in 2022 from what I have read, with most of them being men, in their mid 20's.
Funny how all the professional sports leagues required (mandated) players to get vaxxed and boosted too.
It does make one wonder if there is a link. To flippantly say that it couldn't be is irresponsible at best.
