Shannon Sharpe skipped Tuesday morning’s episode of ‘Undisputed’ as he was upset with Skip Bayless’ controversial tweet over Damar Hamlin collapse on the field.

According to TMZ, it remains unclear if Sharpe will return to work on Wednesday.

The controversy started when Bayless tweeted: “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.”

NFL players and fans slammed Bayless for his tweetk. 

In the wake of the backlash, Bayless attempted to clarify his point, writing: “Nothing is more important than that young man’s health. That was the point of my last tweet. I’m sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.”

Om Tuesday, when ‘Undisputed’ went live, Shannon was missing from the show, giving rise to speculation that he was upset with Bayless. 

Buffalo Bills player Hamlin remains in critical condition after spending the night in a hospital intensive care unit. He collapsed after colliding with an opponent during the Monday match. Hamlin was tackling Bengals receiver Tee Higgins when the latter’s helmet appeared to hit Hamlin in the chest.

The NFL suspended the game between the Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals for the night. It also announced that the game would not resume this week.

Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins expressed gratitude for the NFL’s decision to postpone Monday night’s game.

“The fact that we did not have to go back out there on that field and play just shows that there is care, and that’s all we can ever ask for is that we get treated as people,” Dawkins said. “Because most people just treat us as athletes, and as superstars, and some people like celebrities, but in that moment they treated us like people. And being treated as a person that is cared for, it’s a beautiful feeling. And I’m thankful that I was treated as a person and so was the rest of my teammates because at the end of the day, we are people. And we have feelings, we have emotions, we cry, we hurt. And we have families, and they hurt and they cry. We’re individuals that are imperfect and the world wants us to be perfect, and I’m thankful that the NFL has definitely put us first,” Dawkins told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday.
