Summary

“Fearless” welcomes you back in this new year! 2023 started off with a shocking tragedy during Monday Night Football. During last night’s game — featuring the Buffalo Bills vs. the Cincinnati Bengals — with 5:58 remaining in the first quarter, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed after standing up following a tackle by Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following the hit; his heartbeat was restored on the field. This devastation was strong enough to convert the users of the most secular social media platform, Twitter, into Christians. Many users and sports commentators were quoted saying, “Praying for Damar,” and compared football players to heroes who sacrifice their lives. Unfortunately, Hamlin wasn’t the only one who was in critical condition. There were many overreactions from corporate media and sports figures — such as Domonique Foxworth, Skip Bayless, and many others — who took sensitivity too far. After watching the corporate clown shows, Jason is going to start the year off with fearless takes that weren’t monitored and approved for vanity by corporate flunkies. “Fearless” soldiers T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join “Fearless” and give their takes on the Hamlin tragedy. Is it really fair to villainize football because of one individual's accident? The "Korean Cosell," Steve Kim, brings up the shameful reality of our culture by pointing out that athletes and sports networks today are shamelessly hateful toward their own fans. Coach Jason Brown also joins the show and gives his first impression: “Jason, I guess the big deal is that we are in a fragile state, and our generations are in a critical era. And this era is so soft and quick to cancel somebody because of their insensitivity, and this is what they’re going to say.” We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
