Nick brought me to tears. That was powerful, oozing of empathy and compassion. Wow! Makes me proud to know we have great men like this allied with us in this fight. Major props to him and Greg for bringing it!!! God bless these men!! True leadership on full display!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yes sir
Yes sir👏🏿
OMG. Me too. His voice was cracking - he felt every word.
We all hate on Nick sometimes, but when he speaks on deep issues such as Kobe Bryant death and police brutality and how he fights back tears on both issues, shows how good of a heart he has. RESPECT
Agreed. This was a visceral and powerful one to watch.
I don’t hate Nick , believe it or not he does his homework, peep hate in him cus he is a nerdy looking non athlete 🤷🏽♂️
@@JinghisKhan visceral, exactly.
Nick been solid he a cool dude and a pure intellect
Salute. Respect. Facts love
and Nick that was maybe your finest segment on TV. I felt that
Monday’s speech was excellent also
Nick is an excellent analyst, and an even better person. I think most people hate him for his Lebron takes, but to question Nick’s integrity? No way.
He Absolutely Rocked It! Well Said.
i could not AGREE more. I've never seen Nick so moved by something like this. He spoke TRUTH TO POWER!!!
I agree
Dree Bree didn't realize my uncles fought in the same war his grandfather did. The difference is my uncles came home from the war not able to ride, sit or drink in the areas that Dree's grandfather was able to simply because of their skin color. My uncles fought for freedom in America that only Dree's grandfather was able to obtain. Dree knows full well what the kneeling during the National Anthem was about. So it is okay for Officer Chauvin to take both knees and place on George Floyd's neck but Black America can't bow on one. That flag that Dree respects so much and the anthem that Dree loves so much was never intended for Black America in the first place. I am not asking to change Dree's opinion, but don't criticize mine because my experience as a Black man in America differs from yours.
Not to mention that we don't hear Drew complaining about all the disrespect to our military every time someone waves the Confederate battle flag of treason, or how some people glorify those statues of Confederate traitors against the United States.
@@danielmocsny5066 The confederacy had every right to secede under the constitution
✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hmmm well my grandfather is a black Vietnam veteran. And he found the protest stupid and thought it was disrespectful.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Dang Nick, I felt that bruh.
Had to stop the vid before he went too deep in got a Republican audience listening
Nick wife is black. So I knew he was going in on him
@@keithriley6962 Yup. Now is not the time to be silent and let the status quo stand. Police need to be held accountable.
Nick been on the home team.
devingibson4 nick been wanting to say that
Never was too fond of Nick Wright before...but after watching this, you've got a fan for life bro. That was stirring.
Was literally gonna post the same thing. I dont care for some of his sports takes, but cant hate on him after this
@@TekNeek7 9090090
Stop Sleeping in Nick . I always liked nick
Oh now you like him man Nick has always been solid guy 💯
B.f
Greg did a great job but nick, NICK, you made me feel all of this on a deeper level, you a legend for these words and the way you’re struggling to stay “ profesional “ the world needs to pay attention to your details
He really got me too...amazing words.
It hit close to home. You can tell he was holding his true anger and tears back.
English. I know a white person taught you.
Maybe. But this is about Greg.
MAN WHITE PEOPLE TAKE THIS W ✅✌🏽🌍
"I'm drowning my brother, can you throw me something while u on dry land." Going to be hard for Drew to hear that one.
THAT was the PERFECT ANALOGY in this situation. Very WELL SPOKEN!
That made me cry.
@@catherineroberts8270 THAT, was DEEPLY TOUCHING!
@Raymond Was Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American emergency room technician part of those "problem people" you talk about? Because police broke into her apartment in plain clothes and shot her 8 times, murdering her. When her boyfriend fired back with his legal firearm, he was arrested, despite the police breaking down the wrong apartment door.
@Raymond What your statement is lacking is context. People in tough neighborhoods that scrap and scrape for everything, they eventually start to become what they think they need to become in order to survive. With no fathers to guide them and people automatically seeing them as a threat in society eventually erodes a person from the inside out over time. That creates what you're eluding to. No fathers in the household is incentivized by the government btw. You only get assistance if there is no father present. So lots of fathers reside elsewhere to gain the assistance for the family. Something else to be angry about. This created anger and frustration eventually leads to a lashing out in the wrong way. Violence against one another. But when you're the police and are properly trained and held to the code and narrative to PROTECT & SERVE... this shouldn't be happening. Your statement is dismissive my friend. Where is the humane empathy? Its very "Matter of fact" and without context. Actually TRY to understand another's perspective and you'll see the world change right before you. It could be frightening, I understand.... But so many of the majority dont want to try. Its too uncomfortable. This is why this narrative will never change. Being dismissive will only serve to perpetuate the problem. Which makes these sorts of comments and the people who make them advocates for inequality. Coming into this conversation with more statistics or contrasting comparisons only shows cold heartedness and an unwillingness to understand. People are dying at the hands of those who swore to protect.... That should be the only narrative. Dont change the topic with redirection. Because it perpetuates the problem. Its essentially saying "Why deal with it if we can change the narrative". Right??
Nick...Thank You. That brought me to tears as a black man. Much respect
as a black army veteran this brought to tears cause it's all true my career was destroyed because of racial biased
@smilyle...That brought me to tears as a white man. And until Black Lives Matter, the USA will destroy itself with its pestilence and ignorance.
Nick Wright got all my respect in this segment! Those words were powerful and real
Greg and Nick killed it. Those points Nick brought up and his final statement... powerful. Well done guys. Thank you.
Raymond I don’t know what Jennings politics are. My comment was based on what was said in this video. There are many people that believe things that I don’t believe, that doesn’t mean that everything that comes out of their mouths is false. The problem Black people face goes way back to before we even got to this land, some through slavery, some got here before that. But I’m not gonna get into that. The solution is in our hands. No one can save us (especially the caucasians) but us.
I have a new respect for Nick Wright. God bless that man!
Yes sir yes sir
Yes, indeed.
Me too man Nick a real one, God bless him......
I've criticized Greg for being vanilla and talking in circles on sports subjects in the past but on a real issue, he brought the heat eloquently and powerfully. Major respect earned. As for Nick, I've always got time for him. You can clown him for his LeBron/Chief homerism but on most subjects, his opinions are measured and informed. The sincerity regarding this topic isn't contrived either, as his wife is black.
So Drew was asked about what he thinks about people kneeling on the flag 4 years ago, and you want him to answer about a topic a week ago? Cool story, some of us arent all media driven muppets.
@@ProtectoroftheRealm actually the question was about the expected possibility that people will take a knee this year the same way they did 4 years ago. Nick actually repeated the question but you keep being a sheep
@@OGCxDaizy Some people only hear what fits their narrative, instead of listening to what is actually being said.
CU Gold then why did he? Nobody made him. If guilt is the answer, well it’s telling.
@CU Gold real talk
This is truly one of the most touching segments I’ve ever watched in my entire life. Nick and Greg . Absolutely amazing 😭❤️🌎✊🏾
WOW, Nick Wright eloquently expressed every feeling I was feeling when I heard what Drew had the audacity to say. That was an amazing breakdown of exactly what is happening! I’m glad it was somebody white who said it may be others will believe it now.
Bdazzlemylife bdazzle wow you cute and intelligent 9n the issue
Donnie Miller Thank you🤣
Bdazzlemylife you're more than welcome sexy call me lol
@Raymond yeah, and when u gonna catch up?
U said it, he was spot on. Exactly what I was going to say @ Bdazzlemylife...or better yet what I wanted to say , but u already expressed it so well
Beautiful from everyone but man Nick’s part hit. Amazing.
I've gotta give Nick some props here, Ive hated on this man for so long but what he said really touched me and opened my eyes a little more, I understand the injustice going on in this country towards blacks, but he taught me some a didn't know. Towards the end when he was getting choked up talking about his brother in law showing his military ID when getting pulled over in the hopes of getting treated better than the average black man. Man I teared up at that, I never really thought about it like that. Fantastic words Nick and Greg. I've always loved Greg, but Nick has just earned a place in my heart now too
I was saying the same thing..
Lol respect for Nick
That military iD thing is real for black people who serve (another unwritten rule)...literally had this officer pull me over and he was instantly hostile, I use to keep the military ID in the front of my wallet so I could just flash it (but not too obvious though) before giving my license. He was quite the genius because I had to explain to him twice that the reason I had a Pennsylvania license with a California address and California plates is because I was military and I’m exempt. Guy comes back with a totally different attitude. The attitude that should have reflect the stop in the first place. I shouldn’t have to be in the military for that to happen.
@@Just.Ashley.S absolutely not. I wish this country was better for everybody 💔
Malikai Perkonington me too
This dude nick left me wondering about my life and i'm black. i felt everything he said
Nick went in and dropped the mic!🎤 Thank you brother! ✊🏾❤
This was by far the absolute best reaction and reply video I've seen so far. Perfectly explained so anyone could understand
yeah, this needs WAAAAYY more views!!
Both Greg and Nick made me feel something that I've never felt before. I needed to hear those statements. To be honest, and I'm not proud of this, but I need help understanding the world views of other races. Thank you.
We have enough resources to create a better world if people will come together.
You should be proud for accepting that you need to learn more. Wish you the best.
I appreciate your courage to admit that and the understanding to listen with a open heart. That is a huge first step. Respect to you
Josh Coleson........thanks brother
That’s love 💯
Unbelievably well said by Greg and Nick. The world needs more souls like them.
I already have an "Uncle" Shannon Sharpe, but I'd be proud to call you both "Cousin Greg" and "Cousin Nick"! Kudos!!!
lmaooooo facts
😂😂😂 facts!!
Y’all just want a hug...... pathetic
💯💯
Agreed Cuzzo. I was already a fan, but Greg and Nick just took a knee on drews neck ✊🏾
Nick puts it in perspective for "them", and I hope "they" got it.
I’m speechless..... Nick, with those words I truly FEEL that you indeed know how it feels to be black in America. GOD Bless U
His wife is black and his children are mixed. He would have a better perspective.
I thought he was black, lol. Maybe mixed or passing. Is he not?
If you are black and living in the US chances are you have a much easier life than anywhere else on the planet. What country do you think has the most black millionaires? Surprise surprise it's the US. Dont complain about being oppressed just because you're lucky enough to have the freedom to do so
Tubby Muffin 😂😂😂 you are soooo ignorant. I needed that laugh. Troll on, racist!!!!
@@jbirdcarter3452 You called me ignorant but didn't give a single reason as to why you think that. My point stands, black people in the US have it better than anywhere else in the world. By the way you are more likely to get into good universities and get a good job just because of your race. Admit your black privilege before demanding us to admit white privilege
I was making lemonade during Nick's speech and got lemon juice in my eyes.
That last line broke me down. 150 years sad even Nick got emotional.
If someone give you a lemon make lemonade
Nick Wright, thank you. So well spoken.
Nick!!!! Your finest moment ... EVER!
did anybody know Nick Wright was so good with a knife cause he just cut drew brees a new one
And his wife is black!!
@@jamarhaynes5284 and very beautiful too...
Yeah, Nick was just as good when Kap was first kneeling in 2016
One of Nick's fineness moments on TV as well...... Thank you
That was raw emotion..And I was all for it
I missed CC being on this show because periodically he'd give an epic emotional speech about life. Well, Nick shows he got it too!
Awww man miss that man so much
CC was a self centered know it all. I'm glad he's gone.
@@banquetmeal663 i agree 100 about how CC was. Still Nick was a newbie non-jock & Jenna intentionally stuttered through every question she asked i guess 4 a climatic effect. So he may have felt compelled.
Respect to you Nick. From someone that has criticized you, I really appreciate, respect and feel the passion on this one. Thank you 🙏
Nick on the home team.
Wow my eye are watering after that nick!! 😢 I really felt that passion!! From Gerg also!
This was by far the best segment I've ever seen on first thinga first . Greg and Nick did an amazing job. I could feel the emotion coming from these men .
First Things First is what you meant right?
@@matthewgeeblountjr8992 lol ,yes for sure . Thank you
I love love love Greg Jennings’ reaction and incredibly thoughtful response to Drew Brees’ comments! It is such an important perspective to consider - that Drew Brees doesn’t see the injustices happening, or recognize the decades-long plight & struggle of the African American community. He only sees himself & how it affects him - bc he’ll never have to experience that kind of treatment & that privilege never dawned on him.
Thank you Greg Jennings!! And thank you Malcolm Jenkins!! His video was heartbreaking bc you could see & hear the sense of betrayal he was feeling!
Nick Wright eloquently put a bow on it, laying out the timeline, & explaining exactly how ignorant Drew Brees is. Thank you as well Nick Wright!
That boy Nick was spitting 🔥
WOW!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I feel like I need 2 go 2 church after this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 BEAUTIFUL WORD'S FROM EACH OF THE GENTLEMEN 😭😭😭
Never been more proud of Nick.
I love nick mane that’s my guy he never fails me ! And u got a black wife mane more power too you ! Respect ma g !! 💪🏾
Now THAT was a surprise fa sho! 👍🏾
Ik I had to google it.. he has a beautiful family
Nick has always been with the cause
Gotdammit Nick! You got me emotional af! That was powerful 😭
you can hear the pain in his voice respect nick
This needs to go viral!
For real
I agree!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely!!
We, as the black community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin would like to trade Candace Owens for Nick Wright and every odd year of 7th-round picks. So help us god...
I was getting ready for work this morning,& I caught this segment. GJ finally made me take him seriously,but NW. OMG!!!! Bruh. I'm NOT going to lie. You had me standing still,with tears in my eyes. The delivery & the passion was on another level. May God bless you and your family,& all of us.
Nick complimented Greg 4 a phenomenal take then took it to a remarkable level himself...
Not going to lie but Aaron Rodgers statement seems very thoughtful & sincere
While Drew Brees' statement seems it was written for him or REALLY REALLY edited
Be true be you
That's how you educate someone! Nick almost brought tears to my eyes. I've always enjoyed Nick as an analyst, but I have the utmost respect for him. Brees doesn't get it. If he doesn't watch any other broadcast he needs to watch this one. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Nick, this was your finest hour. Appreciate you!
I love my brother Nick Wright. He gets it.
Nick, get some sleep man, but WOW man. Well said!
Its sad to know that alot of people who need to hear that possibly wont hear it. Well said bro!
Very powerful show. Greg laid it out so eloquently and Nick and Wildes both showed they they hear and understand why this is such an important topic. I hate to say it because I've always liked Drew Brees, but he is nothing but another rich, white, entitled man who won't take responsibility for helping make things better while looking down on those who do. Drew Brees, what's wrong with you? You need a heart transplant.
As a former Marine, son of a Marine Corps Korean War veteran, and a proud American, I love our flag. But I have no problem with anyone taking a knee in protest of police brutality and systemic racism during the national anthem. What better time to remind ourselves of what the flag should stand for: equality, justice, and freedom for all Americans. Wake up, Drew. Our lived values have to be more important to us than symbols like a flag and rituals like a pledge of allegiance if we're ever to going to heal our broken society and make it whole.
This post. Wow. Thank you.
Thanks for your service and this profound statement.
Well said!
Sorry but Drew said nothing wrong all he said was that he would not accept anyone disrespecting the flag and has clearly said he supports racial justice. People like u just don’t get it.
William Gray... Beautifully said! Salute, sir!
Wow...FoxSports came with the HEAT today.
Drew brees is gonna get the most sacks ever on the field when the nfl opens up.
Lol.. a page out of the longest yard.
@@Ohmug3nW3apon13 and/or "Any Given Sunday"
Nah.. lineman are mostly white folk and we can see both sides of the coin smh
@@TrashBagB I'm sure that some white lineman would like to rack up those sack stats.
@@schao7555 the O-line would have to let them pass in this scenario is the point
Thank you NICK! I’ve been waiting for my own people to point out that the kneeling was suggested by a white veteran and this is not about the flag.
We either live long enough to exposed the truth or be exposed by it
That's heavy
Jorel Byssainthe life makes it that way and history proves it
So truuuu
which is the truth tho???
Tim Kruse depends on the individual we all won’t be the same
Respect for Greg and even more for Nick's passion while discussing this issue. Drew Bress lost a lot of fans with this one.
Greg and Nick GOAT'd this segment
WOW. I too still carry my retired ID card with me everywhere in case I get pulled over. When the military stopped requiring decals on cars, I didn't remove mine for years because a lot of police in Florida are ex military.
Man I wish this was a bit longer to see his co-hosts reaction/respond to such a powerful statement by Nick.
All you would've missed was a MIC DROP, 'cause dayamn.
Honestly that was good
Man that was powerful nick! Thank you brother! And to you too Greg! Great segment!
Drew Brees basically said what every Republican has been saying to try to ignore the issue at hand... flag.. country.. disrespect.. my grandfathers.. blah blah blah
I've always loved nick, I can feel he's a different white man.
Nick gave me chills perfectly said!
You brought it. Spoke from the heart.
Well put Greg and Nick 👏🏾👏🏾
Wow. This might be the first time that I’ve co-signed a Nick Wright segment. Good job man.
nick gave me chills dawg
Nick
You hit this one out of the park, I felt it.
Unknowingly, I'd carry around my military ID for that very same reason...
Me as well. I'm so glad I was able to move abroard.
@@billyabroad8057 what part of the world are you at?...I'm honestly thinking about leaving the USA.
Saddest comment ever unbelievable
Alhajie Swaray I live in Bangkok in the Lap of luxury in brand new high end duplex loft condominium for a quarter of the cost I was paying for an “alright” apartment in LA will making 50% more then I did salary wises. Plus top tax rate is 30% and that includes medical.
Being able to travel to other nearby countries for $100 to 200 round trip and travel to the islands with endless beautiful beaches for $50 round tip every weekend with My wife and friends. You can’t be it. Check out the RUclips channel “the black experience Japan” It’s a must watch. It will show you how blacks are living in paradise abroad. We are thriving abroad! The world loves us!
Best question I've heard yet."Tell me did you see you grandpa fighting for that man"?
I still do the military ID thing. And that’s the exact reason.
Sad state of affairs. When my cousins husband retired from the Navy, he kept his military ID, as well, and for the same reasons.
I do it too keep it right in front of my driving license
Bro i graduated from Stanford University in 2007 and i'd still keep that in the front right until i left the USA in 2011
I Do 2 & EVERY Black troop i know does as well
OMG....that man put a tear in my eye! 👍
Nick!!!! That was well said, thank you.
One take of this magnitude & Nick has surpassed Skip. Albeit Skip has been great.
Nick has been on this week! Thank you!!
Nick sent chills down my spine. I show the police my military iD when the cops pull me over to
Truth. My military ID changed the situation to my advantage when I was stopped twice.
Thank God NY drivers license has an option where you can have VETERAN designated on your license ( for an extra fee of course).
If Drew Brees doesn't get what it's about by now, he probably never will. Or maybe he doesn't even want to.
He's just a Trump fanboy
So he’s not allowed to have an opinion
@@ekiacountry6416 That's not an opinion.
Agreed..Dude is 40+ he knows. Might not know how deep the 🐇hole is but he knows. 😒 Guess his grandparents forgot to mention that BP fought in USofA Incorporated Wars and when the German POWs were captured they made the BM sit in the bottom of the carrier while the POWs sat up top of the carrier.
@@ekiacountry6416 It's fine if that's what he sees when he looks at the flag, but he doesn't seem to understand that black men might not see the same thing as him. More importantly, this whole thing shouldn't even be about the flag, it should be about protesting against police brutality and social injustice. The major disconnect is that Brees seems to think it's about the former rather than the latter.
They gone pit drew brees in a colma if the league ever comes back 😂
Salut to NICK , dang that came from his heart
Why should Drew have to apologize for anything? He didn't say anything wrong. Guess you can't have a different opinion without getting called racist. Drew Brees is a true American and he shows respect for our country.
@Brown Papi Wow, threatening people for opinions, real nice Papi, real nice.
Nick, Greg, Kevin: powerful and strong statements, cannot agree more!!!
That was powerful, Nick and Greg. Brought tears into my eyes.
Well said Greg and Nick!
That’s what I’m talking about Nick and Greg ✊🏾✊🏻 That was powerful !!
💯 chills 🔥
They need to give Kap back his job
Wow Greg, Nick... 👏🏾👏🏾
First time I've liked something Nick has said.
And it is the most important thing not the sports stuff, can't hate someone for commenting on sports. This statement proves to you not to hate people for sport analysis. Nick's a good guy......
Nick wright is a g.. period 🙏🏿💪🏿
I really love this segment of the show today and everyone spoke on point...
Nick be goin in ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
As a black, retired Air Force Veteran who's father and grandfather honorably served. Nick's perspective and examples he gave rang SO true, I am here in tears, writing this. I hope others can find the same level of humanity and realize what this movement is really about!💯
Mic drop at the end 🎤
Very powerful statements by Greg and Nick! A ray of hope in this time of great sadness. Thank you guys!
Amazing, Nick and Greg.
Wow!! Nick that was powerful. Salute my brother!!!
Nick Wright showed true passion in what he said. And having a good understanding of his wife's family history is awesome beyond measure. It's good to see some whites understand perfectly about the oppression of blacks in this nation.
NICK,
As a black soldier in the Army, I could see and hear that you truly meant what was coming out your mouth. You came with truth, facts and compassion for us black people. Your wife should be VERY PROUD of how you just handle yourself. I'm so glad you and GREG kept stressing to Drew Brees about it NOT being about the flag, and how you mentioned that Kap even SEEK GUIDANCE from a soldier who told him it's more respectful to kneel. This was DEEP guys. Thank you, as a soldier, I see no disrespect in kneeling
Greg Jennings... well said...👍
Nick i hope this comment finds you, that was beautiful 😍 💯🙏
