After drawing widespread scrutiny for his controversial tweet in the aftermath of Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s frightening injury during Monday Night Football, Fox Sports host Skip Bayless addressed the situation on Tuesday morning.
Hamlin, 24, collapsed on the field during the first quarter of the game after making a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. He was taken away in an ambulance after medical personnel administered CPR to him on the field and brought to University of Cincinnati Medical hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The game was temporarily suspended before the NFL ultimately decided to postpone the contest.
Speaking on Undisputed, and without co-host Shannon Sharpe who was not on the show for undisclosed reasons, Bayless delivered an opening monologue about the scene involving Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest and remains in critical condition as of Tuesday morning. Though Bayless said he apologized for planning to weave some usual sports discussion into the show, he did not directly apologize for his tweet.
