Eriksen's horrific injury, the tears of his wife and teammates, and the atmosphere in the stadium were all just part of the entertainment package for UEFA and the broadcasters.
I don't agree UEFA had any blame in TV viewers having to see those images. That's solely on TV broadcasters, whose duty/right it is to determine what the consumers see. Those saying UEFA should have cut off the feeds should realize we can't all be kept in darkness. The TV stations have to know what is going on, and that's only possible with the feeds on.
UEFA is literally in charge of the tournament and the feed itself. If they don't want to cut the feed, they can switch to different angles that don't zoom in on close-ups of Eriksen's partner crying in utter distress. That's not "being kept in the darkness." There are a million different ways to ensure we are updated on Eriksen's safety and the situation at hand without gawking at a player being in extreme danger and the trauma that generated from everyone around him. Broadcasters have their own responsibilities too and can take action if UEFA doesn't. But neither care, which is why we saw what we saw and the teams were given an ultimatum to immediately resume play on the day or compete tomorrow, with little to no time to reflect or process what just happened with psychologists and mental health counselors. The only thing that matters is the show continuing, and Eriksen collapsing on the field was just part of the show to them.
