Another day, yet another athlete collapsing in the midst of a game for unknown reasons.
Just days after Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin had to be administered CPR on the playing field after he collapsed following a play against the Cincinnati Bengals, another athlete has collapsed under what appears to be mysterious circumstances.
Old Dominion basketball player Imo Essien “had to be tended to by training staff from both ODU and Georgia Southern”, according to WAVY, after collapsing during the middle of a game this past weekend.
He “did not appear to lose consciousness”, according to the report, and was eventually helped to walk off the court under his own power. “Members of the Old Dominion men’s basketball team watched in shock,” WAVY wrote.
“Many held back tears,” one account wrote.
Old Dominion said in a statement: “He was responsive throughout and was able to sit with team for the duration of the game and travel back with the team. He is in good spirits and will work with the ODU Sports Medicine staff when they return to Norfolk.”
Video appears to show Essien clutching his chest while on the ground. Old Dominion has yet to make an additional statement.

Senator Rand Paul has slammed the Democrat governor of Kentucky after it was revealed that the state has been allowing trans surgeries on children to take place.
During a Fox News interview, Paul described ‘gender affirming care’ as a “terrible, terrible approach,” to dealing with “psychiatric illnesses.”
“We have got a controversy going on in Kentucky right now in our governor’s race, our Democrat incumbent Andy Beshear has said well, I’m not for the surgery but it doesn’t really happen in Kentucky. Then we got a letter from the University of Kentucky saying yeah they have been doing surgery this reassignment surgery on children, on minors and he was caught in a lie,” Paul explained.
The Senator continued, “They’re running with their hair on fire away from this,” adding “There are other issues we are dealing with here, there are psychiatric illnesses, and comorbidities that need to be treated,” Paul said, adding Instead, we are saying cut off part of your body and you’ll be better.”
“The Democrats kind of want to call it something that it’s not. They got really mad at me at a committee hearing when I called it genital mutilation,” Paul further noted, adding “Universally around the world we were opposed to this. We were opposed to it in Africa when they were doing it. The U.N., everybody was working to stop it and now we have the opposite.”
“We have clinics set up where we are affirming this and encouraging this to happen to our children. It doesn’t work. It is a mutilation. It destroys their urinary tract system. It gives them no sexual pleasure as an adult. It’s a terrible, terrible thing to let your child do or let anybody do to your child. It really shouldn’t happen,” Paul urged.
He continued, “They think it’s all benign but in the case of the transgender surgeries, a half a dozen European countries have banned it in children because they have a long-term experience and actually discovered after following these people 10, 15, 20 years after the surgery that the incidence of suicide is 20 times greater in those who have had the surgery than the general public.”
Watch:
Democrats are playing dumb about child sex change operations and now these surgeries are being facilitated in secret.
People in Washington DC now seem to believe that being grossly overweight is healthy.
“Man vs. Street” host Malik Lahrim surveyed people in the area, asking them if they think obese singer Lizzo is healthy.
“Fuck yeah, she’s vegan,” replied one respondent, claiming that “she is active on TikTok” and “working out.”
Another respondent stated “Everyone has different body types” and “it doesn’t matter how you look so long as you’re healthy.”
Others argued that obesity is down to genetics.
Only one guy had any common sense and correctly equated obesity with being unhealthy, noting “if you actually care about people don’t lie to them,” noting that being overweight means “you’re going to die sooner.”
A study published in 2022 in the British medical journal, The BMJ, found processed and ultra-processed meats, such as ham, bacon, salami, hotdogs, beef jerky, and corned beef, can significantly increase men’s risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases and even increase early death in both men and women.
“We found that men in the highest quintile of ultra-processed food consumption, compared to those in the lowest quintile, had a 29% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer,” stated co-senior author Fang Fang Zhang, a leading cancer epidemiologist and the head of the nutrition epidemiology and data science division at Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in Boston.
The effects of ultra-processed foods are pretty obvious — look at the American people — morbidly obese and full of health problems. Knowing the health ramifications of the chemicals mega corporations put in the food should be a national priority — but it’s not.
While we don’t want to spoil dinner, the latest viral video of pink slime was posted on TikTok. It shows what appears to be a ham operation.
Over 20,000 users weighed in on the video, with the vast majority expressing concern about the country’s food supply and speculating on how the chemicals in processed foods might be harming them.
It may be time for some folks to realize their health problems are partly due to diet. Break the food matrix, find a local farm, and source food locally — or better, grow your own food. Isn’t it time to know what’s exactly in your food?
But don’t worry. Big corporations will solve the fat crisis with the newly created miracle fat drug.
Why aren’t ESG-ers going after companies producing processed and other junk foods?
