The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver KJ Hamler with a non-football illness designation on Monday. The 24-year-old receiver explained his health situation in a post on Instagram:
After feeling some chest pains while working out on the break before camp started, I got everything checked out and was diagnosed with mild heart irritation, called pericarditis. I’ve got a great treatment plan with medicine and am taking a quick break to get this all taken care of so I can get back to doing what I love.
I’m so grateful for my teammates & coaches. Appreciate the support from the Broncos Country and encouragement I have been receiving. This is something to bring awareness to anybody. So anyone with chest pains please get checked out by your doctor!
24 years old, way too late for a heart defect from birth to be discovered. We're going to be seeing a lot more of this.
The really fucked up part is they consider this to be 'not football related' so he can't get any medical bills paid despite the NFL forcing him to take the shot.
I've followed sport for a long time. And up until 2021 I had only ever heard of 1 Heart Problem in an Athlete of the sports I followed. Since 2021 there's been 6. So that's 1 in 40 years versus 6 in 2 years. Nothing to see here move along plebs
He would have been playing a lot of high school and college football too, lots of practice too so he would have most likely discovered this way before he started playing NFL ball.
Yeah, this is uncommon but it does happen in high school, maybe even college. You rarely hear of it in professional football because they are having a lot of testing done prior to being paid millions of dollars. People valiantly defending pfizer can deflect/lie all they want, there have never been this many heart related issues in athletes in this short of a time span in the past 60-70 years. Probably not even then but there isn't detailed recording of that.
CDC has been beating the drum on yearly CCP Flu COVID shots again recently. Surprising that it hasn't happened yet, but it's still a matter of time. I'm down for signing up the NPCs to the safe & effective dystopian future that they supported.

Dude, it's climate change, obviously...

Definitely. This all is connected to the Vaccine at this level, like Damar Hamlin.
At least he didn't die from the Coronavirus!
Gosh darn Winter Vagina!
