While trying to amuse the audience, Breuer mockingly included the unfortunate injury of the NFL player.
During the "ReAwaken America" event at Christian hate-preacher Greg Locke's tent church, former SNL cast member Jim Breuer mocked flu shots, vaccines, and Damar Hamlin.
Although he was able to get laughs from the crowd present then and there. His jokes have backfired. Especially among the NFL community, the comedian has extracted a few angry reactions. People are not pleased with the comedian’s insensitive joke, making him a public enemy.
This is sad. I don't care about what he's mocking and/or whether he's funny or not — that's subjective & he can roast whatever he wants — what's sad is that Jim Breuer is opening for Greg Locke.
For this fan, the whole set was “painful” to watch.
Man, that wasn't just unfunny, it was legit PAINFUL to watch.
Another fan called the comedian awful for making fun of Hamlin.
While this fan-made a point to keep Hamlin’s injury away from controversial political topics.
He seems angry and not funny in the least. Damar Hamlin’s injury had nothing to do with the vaccine. Right wing are going hard after vaccines. Children have taken them for years to go to school- but these people are going to laugh at some comedian in a tent? It is a cult!
Another person expressed their displeasure with Breuer finding a joke in something as awful as this.
Sometimes the jokes can be a hit or a miss, but this time it certainly hit the wrong chord with the NFL world.
Another day, another controversy
It appears that Hamlin can not keep his name out of the tabloid even after getting out of the Hospital. After being present in the stadium for the Bills’ 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the player found himself dragged right into a conspiracy theory. Many people on the internet started to speculate about the heavily hooded figure of the player who could not have been seen under his shades and mask. From there, theories of a body double started to emerge onto the scene.
Even after Josh Allen admitted to having met the player in the locker room before and after the game. The tin foil hat army has not stopped. Now the player has seemingly become a part of controversial national topics, even apart from the results of the league.
