I think we all want hope for the young man.
Him being 24 years old and, prior to tonight, in top physical shape, he has the best chance at survival that there is. Seventy year old men survive sudden cardiac arrest from coronary artery disease every day. Little old ladies survive lungs filled with clots. Kids survive horrible traumas and live to tell about it.
Imho the reaction from everyone was appropriate, they were shocked because they have no clue what happened. It wasn't a "dirty play" as I have read on Twitter by idiot trolls who are just starting crap, he made a clean tackle, the play ended, he stood up, patted his teammate on the back and fell out. I've thought about going back and counting how long it took from the end of the play to when he fell, but I really don't think it matters.
What matters is he received immediate care by the best docs in Cincy and was taken to one of the best hospitals there is. The fact that they have him in an induced coma and his vitals are stable is reassuring, but by no means does it make him okay.
