The Damar Hamlin conspiracy theories have gotten out of control.
This weekend, Hamlin, who collapsed on the field a month ago, attended the Bills-Bengals game, but the theories about his well-being skyrocketed after he was shown on the screen, but you couldn’t see his face because of the snow.

Fans began pushing conspiracy theories that the person at the game was a clone and not Hamlin himself.
🚨BREAKING — Damar Hamlin had a sudden cardiac arrest on the football field. The details of his injury remain mysterious. Now when Damar is in public he won’t show his face.

@barebonespodcast Not trying to be “that guy”, but a lot of what I saw today doesn’t make any sense. Am I the only one? #barebonespodcast #podcast #nfl #buffalo #buffalobills #damarhamlin #fyp
Former MLB player Aubrey Huff apparently seriously believes that Hamlin might actually be dead, and the NFL is covering it up.
Isn’t it weird that @BuffaloBills Damar Hamlin was the biggest story for two weeks. Now we have media silence. Not a social media post from him, picture, or live video.
Somethings fishy. @NFL is either covering up his death, or he’s in bad shape.

Things got so out of control that Bills QB Josh Allen had to address the bizarre conspiracy theories during a recent podcast appearance.
“That’s stupid”
“He was in the locker room with us pregame, so yes, that was Damar. [So] there is absolutely zero chance. Absolutely zero chance. That was the Damar Hamlin, that’s our guy, that’s our brother. He was with us pre-game, post-game, he was up in the suite with his family, his little brother. 100-percent.”
