ESPN Soccer Analyst Shaka Hislop Collapses On-Air, But Is Doing “OK”
During a lively discussion about an upcoming friendly match between A.C. Milan and Real Madrid, ESPN soccer analyst Shaka Hislop suddenly collapsed on-air in Pasadena, California. The incident took place at the Rose Bowl, leaving viewers shocked and concerned.
As Hislop fell to the ground, ESPN host Dan Thomas quickly rushed to his aid, calling for immediate medical attention. The broadcast was temporarily paused as the network went to a commercial break.
An Update on Hislop’s Condition
At halftime, Thomas provided an update to worried viewers, reassuring them that Hislop was “OK.” He even lightened the mood by mentioning that Hislop felt “a bit embarrassed” and had “apologized profusely” for the incident. However, no specific reason for his sudden collapse was given.
“Obviously my mate Shaka, not here, but as it stands, it’s good news: He’s conscious, he’s talking, I think he’s a bit embarrassed by it all and he’s apologized profusely — not a man who likes to make a fuss of it. Obviously far too early to make any sort of diagnosis, the important thing is that Shaka is conscious,” Thomas said during halftime.
“We spoke to his family as well because you imagine seeing that happen live, there can’t be many things that can scare you amongst a family, but fortunately we spoke to his wife and things are looking OK,” he continued.
The incident occurred on a scorching hot day, with temperatures reaching a high of 91 degrees Fahrenheit in Pasadena, according to AccuWeather. The extreme heat may have played a role in Hislop’s collapse.
In the end, Real Madrid emerged victorious, defeating A.C. Milan 3-2 in the friendly match held in Southern California.
