Patrick Schwarzenegger prays for Damar Hamlin

Patrick Schwarzenegger took to his official Twitter handle to show his love and support for Buffalo Bills’ no. 3. Schwarzenegger quoted a tweet by Cameron Tabatabaie about Hamlin and added a little caption of his own. Not using any words, a single emoji was enough to show what Schwarzenegger meant. He used a single folded hand emoji to send his prayers for Damar Hamlin.

The original tweet was by Tabatabaie. He urged the fans to not focus on the narrative of an ESPN reporter (who later corrected was a Fox reporter). He urged the fans to watch Hamlin’s latest Instagram post instead. “Let’s celebrate Damar Hamlin rather than gawk at some creepy ESPN reporter’s tweet. Here’s @HamlinIsland’s most recent Instagram post – scenes from his annual holiday toy drive,” he tweeted. Schwarzenegger retweeted this on his profile.
