The NFL world was shaken after the Damar Hamlin incident. The free safety’s collapse was not a slight situation and the young player had to be rushed to the hospital from the field. The game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals was stopped, albeit a little later than it should have been. The scary incident brutally reminded people of the risks of the NFL. Prominent celebrities, NFL athletes, and analysts voiced their opinions about the incident and the way it was handled. One among them was the model, Emily Ratajkowski.
The model shared her views in a very cryptic and rude manner. While there wasn’t any indication that it was in response to the Hamlin situation, the coincidence seemed hard to ignore. After she tweeted her cryptic opinion, fans replied with their own perplexed retorts to the tweet. However, NFL fans did not seem very happy with the way the model stated her opinion and they let it show.
