Skip Bayless says insensitive Damar Hamlin tweet was 'widely misconstrued or misinterpreted' [View all]
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- FS1 personality Skip Bayless opened Tuesday’s episode of “Undisputed” by explaining a tweet he posted in the moments following the devasting injury to Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin on Monday night.
“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how?”, he wrote not long after viewers watched Hamlin collapse to the ground and then medical staff and players from both teams surround him, eventually learning he was administered CPR before being rushed to the hospital. “This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome ... which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”
The reaction was swift.
“You’re a sick individual. Real talk,” ESPN NBA analyst and former Cavaliers center Kendrick Perkins tweeted at Bayless.
“The tweet represents how us pro athletes get dehumanized because of money and entertainment,” posted Broncos defensive end and Ohio State alum Dre’Mont Jones.
“F--- you Skip Bayless,” former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant added. “We need to cancel Skip Bayless ASAP!!”
“Pathetic,” Browns cornerback Greg Newsome chimed in.

I have never liked Bayless, he is out there too far for me and has pulled stunts like this before. Idiot.
