Skip Bayless has been under fire since he questioned how the NFL could possibly postpone the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati game just minutes after Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field Monday.

On Tuesday, Bayless said his tweet was “misunderstood.”

Bayless tweeted Monday: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

The backlash was immediate.

He clarified his comments the next day.

“Nothing is more important than that young man’s health,” he said. “That was the point of my last tweet.

“My first tweet as a journalist, I was simply putting myself in the heads of the NFL executives, including Roger Goodell, who was trying to figure out on the fly what to do here.

Here are Bayless’ tweets in order, published just minutes apart.

Hamlin was in critical condition Tuesday after the Bills safety’s heart stopped following a tackle during the Monday Night Football game, which was indefinitely postponed.

Hamlin collapsed on the field during the first quarter of the nationally televised game against the Cincinnati Bengals and was given medical treatment for nearly 20 minutes before being taken to a hospital.

Hamlin’s uncle Dorrian Glenn said his nephew was resuscitated twice, once on the field and later at the hospital.
