Sports pundit Bomani Jones took issue with the NFL highlighting Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin’s return to Paycor Stadium about 10 months after he suffered a cardiac arrest there.

The NFL posted out NBC Sports’ Melissa Stark’s clip about Hamlin’s return and how his journey has inspired others to be trained in CPR, calling it "inspiring."

Hamlin nearly died after suffering a medical episode during a game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals late in the 2022 season. Sunday night marked his return to the stadium where it all happened.

For Jones, he suggested the hype around Hamlin’s return left a bad taste in his mouth. The latest episode of "The Right Time with Bomani Jones" asked whether it was "finally time to stop talking about Damar Hamlin?"

Jones had a suggestion for the way Hamlin is covered – "How about we just act like that never happened?" 

"I do recognize that the role of sport in society is value promotion and all of these things. But now that everything has to be made into a television show, the NFL has to stand in every way for all that’s good," Jones said. "And what they’re trying to do is turn what happened with Damar Hamlin into a story of inspiration. There is nothing inspiring about what happened.
