An ESPN analyst collapsed live on-air Sunday during a soccer pre-game show, prompting his co-anchor to call for help as he attempted to aid his fellow broadcaster.
The incident happened Sunday in Pasadena, California, ahead of the Rose Bowl face-off between the Real Madrid and AC Milan soccer clubs.
ESPN host Dan Thomas was talking to anchor and former soccer player Shaka Hislop, 54, when Hislop’s knees started to buckle and he suddenly stumbled onto the floor.
