I know my wife is and from 4 feet away she said that should only be done under certain situations and if a defib is around, which one was at the stadium, they would have never even considered it. 

As I said earlier, no one knows the intent. But looking at that celebration, given the way Ossai rolled over on his back and how Pratt appeared to be waving for help; it appears to me to be mimicking a life-saving event. 

Folks can disagree and that's fine, but we can save our credentials and our insults.

Even if that's what the Bengals (questionable) or Steelers (certainly) were doing, they very well may have done it to celebrate the first responders.

Well...i was just disagreeing with you. :)

Hey everybody! I found a place where all the great accomplishments of the Steelers are collected up in one place.






It’s called The History Channel.

Yes, clearly the Bengals players were simulating a first aid precordial thump in their touchdown celebration.

Heard that next week celebrations they will be providing the proper placement of a tourniquet and address emergency procedures of a breech birth.

Anyone watching FNIA and did they bring it up?

I am. Didn't see anything about it, but Rodney Harrison has a job there, so it is not like they are running a high value operation. 

The difference is quite clear

Steelers were clearly and purposefully imitating CPR

Bengals were pounding on each other with excitement. There was no intent to imitate anything. The only similarity is the position of Joe Ossai. There is NO way any of our players would have mocked last Monday if only out of respect to Tee Higgins and Damar's other friends on the team

After an interception or fumble recovery, the defense always waves for everyone on the defense to go to the end zone and celebrate. To give the impression that Pratt was waving for help, as if mimicking what happened Monday Night, is very demeaning of him. Next time, please watch what  happens whever the defense gains possession via an interception or fumble recovery. One of the players waves for everyone to join them in the end zone.

Well, the Steelers celebration is being picked up by the media:

Exactly!

I just gotta ask a question.

Do folks really think The Steelers did that to mock the Hamlin incident?

So tell us, which part looked like the proper procedure for a precordial thump?

i would like to believe that they were doing it cause their season was on life support and it was a celebration they were still hanging on and had nothing to do with Damar, but never know with those azzholes

No. He could have easily done it in the heat of the moment, not even thinking. With everything else that gets blown up on social media, why shouldn't that?

Plus, i'm tired of all the Steelers love because they beat a bunch of scrub teams late in the year, while they have the history they do and so much is just swept under the rug or winked at.

Hell, I'm just glad I could teach all the certified lifesavers a new term when it comes to returning the heart to a "regular" beat. Many didn't want anyone pounding on their chest. I hope we all learned a valuable lesson.

The more I look at it, the less it looks like a mimic of a life-saving reenactment. But when I see one dude laying prone,c another dude pounding on his chest, and a 3rd dude motioning for others to assemble. I see a live-saving incident.

My issue is with how folks that disagree can act like asses. What have we become as a forum

Yes. The lesson being, that procedure can do more harm than good.

No doubt, just look what it did Monday night...
