1. We saw it live, we were both in tears with him.

The RW nuts on a few of the sports message boards are giving him grief, he is "less than a man" because he cried.

[Nevilledog]

2. He's always been a favorite of mine. I cried, too.

8. That is such bullshit!

He is more of a man than all of those racists and haters put together. They are nothing but snivelling cowards and weak insecure men who pretend to be tough, but are pathetic, scared little boys inside. I admire him for having the courage to be real in public and to say what is in his heart.

3. The real men don't cry crowd will demean him.

14. Two or three words on a topic?

"please listen to all of it"

15. because towards the end the white sports analyst breaks down crying

[Nevilledog]

17. If you'll notice I quoted the original tweet.

If a person didn't know who Kirk Herbstreit was I doubt they'd be much interested in what he had to say.

19. The title gives NOTHING about content

if you're OK with this -- then you're OK with it.
But people watch clips based on their interest level -- and in this case I don't have any idea ...

10. Take a minute. Watch it. Then update your post

There is enough division from the assholes we don’t to add from our side.

18. It's short. He chokes up while describing how upset he is and how upset we all should

be by the racism and brutality faced by black people.

9. Wow!!

Powerful.....athletes are really making a statement that younger people will listen to. The pot-belly, ignorant, mouthy, racist white slobs reign is coming to an end! I'm 75 & wish I could be around to see the long needed change.

24. Thank you for sharing it. I have renewed respect for Mr. Herbstreit.

It was very courageous of him to allow himself to be vulnerable and open like that.
