Rams QB watches photographer fall off stage in front of him (breaking her back) and goes in about his day - pRICE cUBE - 02-19-2022
His wife rushed to the edge of the stage and inquired about the status of the woman that fell. He takes a swig of water and walks away. The couple has now stated they will cover medical and camera expenses.

NFL star quarterback Matthew Stafford is being slammed on social media for his reaction to seeing a photographer fall off a high stage during the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl victory parade and rally. The woman broke her back and her camera equipment.
The Rams held their victory parade and rally in Los Angeles on Wednesday after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday. During the festivities, a video stream caught a photographer shooting a smartphone photo of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. As she backs up for a wider view, she accidentally slips and falls backward from the platform that was about 10 feet above the ground.
In a video clip circulated on social media, Stafford appears to see the woman’s fall, mouth “Oh my God” to his shocked wife, Kelly, and then turn around and walk away while taking a swig from a water bottle.
The woman who fell was freelance photographer Kelly Smiley, who works as a photo editor for the NFL, NBL, and NHL. In a since-deleted Tweet published on Wednesday night, Smiley stated that she was okay but waiting in the emergency room for X-Ray results. She added that both of her cameras broke in the fall.

That clip tells me all I want to know about the QB.
Maybe he married up.

Dude was in the midst of chaos of a Super Bowl celebration. I can't fault him if he didn't react precisely as the internet thinks he should have.

I read that he is paying for all of her medical bills

I’m not buying that.

No it doesn't. He's a good guy., He was massively drunk.

The wider video shows that whatever the event was over and people were just milling about. His wife hurried to the edge and interacted with those below that were adding the injured woman. The story does indicate the couple is helping with medical and camera bills. This is a very generous act as they did not cause this fall. I noted that in the prior post.

I'm not defending him because I don't know that you can. His reaction was pretty damming. But he was definitely smashed, and he barely saw it out of the corner of his eye. I'm not convinced he fully understood what happened.
Brady's tweet advising Stafford to "Mix a water in."

When they put a mic in his face a little beforehand, he could barely speak. Completely wasted

"In a since-deleted Tweet published on Wednesday night, Smiley stated that she was okay..."
Sounds like she got some "advice".
