“Did we win?” Damar Hamlin wrote, moments after waking up Wednesday evening, delivered to a bedside nurse and relayed to his doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
As the words came tumbling off the tongue of Dr. Timothy Pritts, they seemed borrowed from the very best sports movies ever made. This was Gale Sayers declaring: “I love Brian Piccolo, and I’d like all of you to love him too.” This was Adrian telling Rocky: “Win!” This was Norman Dale telling his quintet of Hickory High Huskers: “I love you guys.”This was a nation’s prayers being answered in real time.
There is belief that very little can unite us as a country anymore, regardless of subject. But these past few awful days proved that wrong, at least in this case. From the moment Hamlin collapsed on the field at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium just before 9 o’clock Monday night, there was an immediate and obvious sense that people across America weren’t just concerned for Hamlin’s well-being, but also were determined to do what little they could to help.
For those who pray, they spent endless hours since Monday night completing the second half of that forever Sayers line from “Brian’s Song” : “I love Brian Piccolo, and I’d like all of you to love him, too. And tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him.”
