This became embarrassing to the powers that be. I stop and rewind and pause many plays in every game that I watch on TV because I notice the momentary head-on collisions, the blurred helmet-to-helmet blows, that happen all the time. After he was attended to by trainers, he made it off the field under his own power. To date, Hughes is the only player to die on an NFL field. TV networks that have little to do with sports, such as CNN and Fox News, abruptly switched their programming to the unfolding tragedy. Football is its own game, an American game, perfect for a country with more guns than people. I was certain he had been killed, maybe by the biggest headhunter of all, Bears middle linebacker Dick Butkus, who was one of the first to notice Hughes down and motionless. And the rules only have been tightened because of all the demented, damaged old players lurching about and the younger ones committing suicide (also from the chronic traumatic encephalopathy that affected their elders). The TV cameras are great at turning away, cutting to commercials, moving cheerily along, with an analyst later reporting that a player was ‘‘injured,’’ likely ‘‘done for the game.’’ The injury could be a twisted ankle, a bruised shoulder. Anybody with anything to do with the game knows it. What we don’t see is a player stand up, as Hamlin did, and then collapse to the field, motionless. Maybe we don’t see it all the time.
