Talk:Simon Kjær

Memetic CPR Story
So, here's a very awkward thing that is starting to drive me a little nuts: Simon Kjær did not perform CPR on Christian Eriksen. This is very clear in broadcast video of the incident, and it is confirmed by the team doctor's account of the incident. Kjær checked on Eriksen and gestured for medical personnel to hurry to him, but it is very very clear that he did not manipulate his tongue, turn him onto his back, or perform CPR. Eriksen was on his stomach/side for about a minute while doctors tended to him, and only then went into cardiac arrest, upon which the doctors began cardiac massage and defibrillation. I know there are now multiple news articles repeating the memetic narrative about Kjær performing CPR, but it is self-evidently untrue, and should be removed from this article.
