A new video has been posted online showing an ESPN sports analyst, Shaka Hislop, collapsing on live television.
He was commenting on the match between AC Milan and Real Madrid on the soccer field.
Co-host Dan Thomas could be heard exclaiming, “Shak! Shak! We need some help. We need medical!”
The Post reported the broadcast quickly went to commercial but then shortly later, after kickoff, Thomas said on social media Hislop was conscious and in the care of medics.
“My mate Shaka, not here, but as it stands, it’s good news,” he reported.
“He’s conscious, he’s talking. I think he’s a little embarrassed about it all, he’s apologized profusely. Not a man who likes people to make a fuss of him.”
“Obviously far too early to make any sort of diagnosis, but the important thing is, that Shaka’s conscious and we spoke to his family as well, because you imagine seeing that happen live. We spoke to his wife and things are looking OK.”
Hislop’s own 15-year career on the field ended in 2007.
