COVINGTON, Ky. — President Biden on Wednesday said the NFL should continue to improve protections for its players, but that Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin’s on-field collapse Monday wasn’t a sign that professional football had become too dangerous.
Mr. Biden weighed in on Mr. Hamlin’s injury before returning to Washington from Kentucky where he touted new infrastructure spending.
“No,” Biden said when asked by The Washington Times if he thinks the NFL is too dangerous.
He said that the sport is inherently risky. “We’ve got to just acknowledge it,” he said.
