What about Howard Glenn?

edit

Hughes isn't the NFL player to die from an injury in a game. I know it was the American Football League, but after the merger, AFL records are considered NFL records. And, on October 9, 1960, New York Titans guard Howard Glenn broke his neck in a game against the Houston Oilers in Houston's Jeppesen Stadium. Glenn died later that day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:283:8301:820:4079:35BB:26C9:801B (talk) 14:25, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Editing of your post

1-2-2023 You listed Chuck Hughes as the first death on the NFL football field , the second being Damar Hamlin. This was a public posting by you at 8:30 tonight. You edited out the Damar Hamlin reference within the next 30 minutes. Care to explain yourself ? 63.208.139.55 (talk) 03:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The change you're referring to was made by a logged-out user (much like yourself). Another logged-out user removed it within a minute. Mackensen (talk) 03:56, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
I'm very confused at what this person was saying. Who are they referring to when they say "you"? Do they think Wikipedia is populated by people writing then guarding articles as if they own them - and as such are directly responsible for any changes? Am I missing something?

That's how I took the comment. Mackensen (talk) 04:37, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

To update a stale and minimally detailed reference that no longer supports the "to date" statement in the lead paragraph, please change from:

He is, to date, the only NFL player to die on the field during a game.<ref>{{cite news |last1=VanOchten |first1=Brian |title=Add loss of Corey Smith to list of Lions' tragedies |url=https://www.mlive.com/lions/2009/03/add_loss_of_corey_smith_to_lis.html |access-date=18 November 2020 |work=mlive.com |date=8 March 2009 |language=en}}</ref>

to:

As of January 2023, he was the only NFL player to die on the field during a game.<ref>{{cite news |last=O'Donnell |first1=Jim |title=Damar Hamlin's collapse recalls only NFL player to die on field, in 1971 Bears game |url=https://www.dailyherald.com/sports/20230103/odonnell-damar-hamlins-collapse-recalls-only-nfl-player-to-die-on-field-in-1971-bears-game |newspaper=[[Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, Illinois)]] |date=January 3, 2023 |access-date=January 3, 2023}}</ref>

Does Wikipedia know that this is what came up when you looked up "has anyone ever died playing football in NFL " on Jan 2 2023 at 925 pm eastern time. While we were all praying, Wikipedia some how knew Demar Hamlin was already dead. 2601:196:8703:28C0:14E4:7AC8:EE71:781C (talk) 18:01, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
