We got to see a different side of Kirk Herbstreit this weekend that we don’t often see. The former Ohio State quarterback and long-time analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay program started to talk about what college players can do to help lead to change when it comes to social injustice when things got emotional.
“How do you listen to these stories and not feel pain,” said Herbstreit, as he started to choke up. “And not.. not want to help..”
Herbstreit continued to speak on the different injustices felt by the African-American community while visibly emotional in what was a very moving, raw commentary on social justice that we don’t often see on a channel like ESPN.
I would recommend that everyone watch this powerful video today:
Heartfelt and powerful.
