As Damar Hamlin recovers from his terrifying medical emergency during the Monday Night Football game in Week 17, absurd rumors and egregious jokes have emerged.
Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jim Breuer recently had standup for the ReAwaken America Tour, a conservative Christian event. He used the opportunity to mock the Buffalo Bills safety who recently went into cardiac arrest on field.

In the middle of making jokes about vaccines, booster shots and being called a conspiracy theorist, Breuer said “Here in the NFL,” before falling down face-first onto the stage. You can watch the clip here.
Bizarre speculation alluding that Hamlin could have a body double has surfaced as well. For the first time since being administered CPR on the field, Hamlin returned to an NFL game and attended the Bills-Bengals divisional playoff matchup Sunday at Highmark Stadium.
Hamlin wearing a mask, hoodie, and sunglasses, which led people to speculate that it was not actually the 24-year-old and a body double was used in his place.

Hamlin was discharged from a Buffalo hospital on Jan. 11, after having spent a week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. The safety had been on a ventilator.
