As a lifelong KCMO resident, thank you. Thank you for being authentic, genuine and transparently empathetic. Our community is hurting right now, and it’s been a heartbreaking week. Two of the victims are relatives of mine. This was their first parade. They will be okay, physically… but mentally and emotionally, they are traumatized. The trauma bounces off the desensitized culture we have here in America, and all three of you gentleman spoke on this from differing perspectives and yet were equally pointed and correct. Our kids deserve better than this.

I was there myself. If I had waited 2 mins to leave. I very well might have been a victim myself. I agree with you, and I see so many people taunting those who are wanting to pray for the victims. Has no one learned anything from this community? We all are Chiefs fans. This team is not only special because of their record. BUT, they bring everyone together, who would otherwise have nothing to do with each other because of religious differences, political differences, and other differences. Let them pray, they may very well agree with better gun laws while they pray. But, be that as it may. I agree with these three gentlemen. Our kids do deserve better. Before this awful shooting I seen so many people coming together, and just wanted to celebrate our team doing great. It was the best experience I had ever had. Until like Nick said. We was robbed. I collected extensive footage from this event. From when I was there at 12am. right up to the last speech given. My phone ran out of juice right before I left. Thank God. Because, I am glad I didn't personally document that awful tragedy. And, that I will be able to hold the more better memories of this event close to my heart. As, it was the first Victory gathering that I got to experience.

Wildes nailed it. We shouldn't have to rely on being lucky to not be a victim of a mass shooting. I was at the parade yesterday, and I'm lucky I didn't go to the rally. I have friends who were at the rally and, luckily, they were unharmed. Mass shootings coming down to bad luck is a massive indictment on America and our priorities.

Crime is a problem. The liberals often focus on mass shootings so they can blame gun owners and not the criminals. It's sad that so many fall for that just like Nick Wright.

[@jfraz_7720]

so what is your fix to the issue? pass gun laws that dont affect criminals at all? i mean everyone wants to blame the guns , but even if guns were gone, people would still find ways to harm others in massive way. cars, bombs, knives, poison, etc. at some point we need to blame the people that are doing these horrific things, not the inanimate objects. why should the 99.9% of people be punished because of the bad 0.01% ? theres 500 million guns in the country, theres no law that will stop mass shootings in the future. how come these sprees of mass shootings didnt happen before 2000 ? its almost like society changed and morals were lost. we need to build the family model back up again, fathers need to be fathers. every mass shooter has a mental problem, we need to work on mental health before anything, because thats where the real change happens. and thats beyond just mass shootings

I am a 45 year old male who is still an active athlete and I just cried as I could hear and feel the pain. The easy thing is to place blame on individuals but through his anguish Nick was able to articulate that this has been enabled (or not prevented) via various regulations/laws/practices/culture or lack of regulations etc. Thank you FTF for highlighting this.

Like Wildes, I am struggling for words to describe the deep sadness and despair I feel. What I can say though is that in the darkest hour, Nick's true colours as a community leader shine through like a beacon providing some direction, hope and comfort.

[@punksterdude8290]

Well said Nick for having the balls to speak some truth.

[@k_hack9441]

He went only as far as Fox News would allow.

[@DuckFanDane]

@@k_hack9441 don’t do that. It was beautiful what he said, and it needed to be said.

[@mmason6852]

As a mass shooting survivor it took everything to hold back tears and then my 1 year old son comes up to me with his arms open wide, gives me an innocent hug that was so needed at the time. All I could do is hug him and cry because OUR children should not have to go through things like this!!!! Prayers and condolences to all the people and families affected by this 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@greatone9102]

From me laughing at you guys doing Mahomes Mountain segments to crying because of this tragic event . Emotions are everywhere. Thank you for the heartfelt Statements .This World 🌎 needs a lot more Love & Peace

[@RachLouLou]

Thank all three of you for your openness ❤ I (a Chiefs fan and KC Native) look forward to this show above all others. Each of you has made me laugh and smile all season. Today, I cried with you. Thank you for what you all do. KC STRONG ❤️💛❤️💛

[@rukedoufus3260]

Chiefs players are champs on and off the field with the way they handled that situation ❤

[@jehberdyer9238]

Nick was spitting here. Glad you all are ok. Prayers for KC🙏

[@parkermitchell1244]

Thank you all. I’ve had kind of a rough last couple years and tuning into the show everyday has been my one constant. You had such a poignant response not just because you were there but because what makes the show great is the authenticity of your personalities and the emotional connection you clearly share. It makes the funny moments funnier and the emotional ones more impactful.

[@gabrielloera8980]

The balance and chemistry of this trio was never more evident than this segment. Well said and well done.

[@marcgisby6452]

Wildes and Nick, such raw emotion. Fact you can tell Wildes spends the entire segment, I feel, trying to keep hold of himself, was so powerful. Brou's words were wonderful also. I'm from the UK, we don't get these situations often, if at all. These three, especially Nick and Wildes, make me realise how terrifying and emotional it is. Think alot of the time, it happens so often, unfortunately many feel "oh look. Another incident" and it truly shouldn't be that way for anyone. Thank you to each of you for the words

[@justc1re617]

What a beautiful response. Well said from everyone

[@legitdragon6202]

I was at parade, but our group ended up not going to rally. It's making me mad that it is hard to stay mad - it's something we've just come to accept as an inevitably and not even shocked by anymore. We're nuts.

[@desean3402]

Man you perfectly encapsulated how I felt. I just accept it now because this is just what happens in this country now. I barely even looked at the coverage yesterday because I know another thing will happen

[@Devster41]

I was there too and we didn’t go to the rally either. I have a friend who was a few feet from the shooting and whose parents were working the parade. She’s pretty scarred from the whole thing. It’s horrible.

[@infinitetheeverlasting4306]

The rest of the world knows it too. People in two different countries have talked to me and openly mocked America for its gun control, and it’s extremely sad that it’s not even refutable. We’ve just accepted it and do nothing continuously

[@mbubble1849]

My kids and I were also at the parade. Tried to get to the rally to get a look at the First things First guys but it was way to crowded to see anything. So we ended up leaving just as it started. As we were getting on the shuttle buses saw police cars racing to the scene. These types of things are heartbreaking for our country.

[@stacey-marie8542]

I’m a Kansas City fan from London and I can’t believe this happened, I wish there was more I could do, my heart goes out to all of chiefs kingdom stay strong ❤️❤️❤️

[@dvbj665311]

I love these guys, and I am thankful for the manner in which they discussed this topic. Only more respect and admiration for them after this. Nick, Kevin, and Brou are amazing guys.

[@anthonyparris8482]

This was powerful. Well said Nick.

[@KennyHavoc]

Thank you for the respectful response and not avoiding the issue

[@SamuelRivera-jj3zi]

Did they condemn gang violence? Cause that is the issue.

[@Orangejulius4414]

​@@SamuelRivera-jj3ziwhy comment if you obviously don't care about finding any solutions to this problem?

[@lkhguycrazy]

@@SamuelRivera-jj3zi do you condemn gun violence?

[@Max_Krypto]

​@lkhguycrazy it's not about guns but gang violence, that community which I won't name needs to look in the mirror. They dislike their own kind not all but some

[@ryanevans371]

​@Max_Krypto No, finish the sentence. Which community? Say it out loud. Don't hide behind vague language...if you're going to be hateful, do it out loud so we can see it for what it is.

[@aneesabashir8496]

Salute to the FTF crew forever & always ❤

[@runninwildwithmilwaukeebuck]

Because Nick Wright, Wildes, & Broussard I'm 39 years old & we never had to really worry about these things. Our kids now do.

[@adamsanders2270]

Lived in KC for 8 years and I have gone through the range of being furious and also just very sad. I hate that evil people cast a horrible shadow on such a beautiful day. Praying for KC and asking that Justice be served and victims be comforted.

[@icyroc]

Love you Nick!!! Your the only reason I like sports talk!!! Back when you worked here in Kcmo. All you guys kind words to support my community in this crazy time. Are much appreciated and we love you all and glad you guys made out safe. I’m severely heartbroken for the kids as well!!!! If people could just talk about problems none of this would happen.

[@robertpatterson9943]

Sports not politics he has no right to say unarm a population of people who are responsible this is a rap culture and bad parenting problem

[@daveeyde9622]

I'm a long time resident of Kansas city. My city is broken. My heart is broken. My trust is broken. And here I thought I was done crying

[@paulvanpelt3587]

Unfortunately I think we have a lot more crying to do with the state of country and youth....prayers for everyone

[@kingkevkc]

We're all heartbroken here in KC. We love you guys. Thank you Nick and the Boys

[@mspinkgumdrop]

I'm sorry you all had to experience that yesterday. I'm a die hard 49ers fan, but I'm a native of the IA-MO line, and a former resident of Kansas City and Independence. My heart goes out to you and everyone who was there.

[@PC-gi4nj]

I've been a fan of this show for a longtime. Never have I felt more justified in my fandom than during such instances. Kudos to you all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the ones we lost.

[@Fdashpodcast]

I don't watch first take Or undisputed no more First things first Nick Wright is a G I love him He's genuine This was sad 😭 I'm so glad that they all were okay 👍

[@nickbarcheck1019]

Yea, the prayers aren't working. Kepp religion to yourself. It's not my business that you pray.

[@DrTurkMD]

Sobering. Necessary. And Sad. Love you guys, from KC ❤

[@jameswilson3835]

I’m a Kansas Citian. I was at the parade but not at the rally. These guys were spot on. And Nick, you don’t need to apologize for your comments - you are 100% right. We know exactly what we need to do.

[@mattthreadwell1850]

I am beyond happy that the FTF team is okay but it is still absolutely heart wrenching that we have to feel that way. These boys are absolute treasures with how they could beautifully articulate such a painful experience. This is about so much more than sports. I am from Christchurch, New Zealand and was here during the shooting and it brings up a lot of memories hearing them speak on this tragedy. All of the love in the world to our brothers and sisters families in Kansas City. Stay strong, Kia Kaha

[@williamwesley4806]

this might actually be the most important sports clip I've ever watched. I"m glad you all exist. thank you.

[@jeff1281]

I truly applaud all three of you, for saying it.....

[@carlosmanso6630]

You guys couldn´t have put it any better. I too am from KC and love my city but now live in Spain. When I told my Spanish wife that there was going to be a parade, she asked me how many people did I think would be killed or hurt. When I asked her about her comment she stated that in General Americans just don´t know how to have fun without bringing in some violence. I got thinking about her statement, I have been to so many festivals here in Spain where hundreds of thousands of people are out in the street, drinking and having a great time. Festivals that may go on for a week at a time and never in all of my time here have I seen acts of violence that are so common in the country that I love so much. It breaks my heart. I agree with Nick, it is our fault. I would say pray but it is not in God´s hands it is in ours.

[@garryhecke819]

All three of you did a magnificent job! Thank You!

[@coreyw7393]

I really felt all of your messages guys. As a KC native, it’s been embarrassing and confusing to try and process. I really appreciate you guys taking the time and helping decipher this tragic event. It was definitely an emotional release for me hearing you guys so passionate and speaking from the heart. ❤

[@brandonward2619]

Well said, I felt the same.

[@profabeatz2252]

BILLS MAFIA here!!! our hearts go out to the Chiefs Kingdom, we know this pain to well, and its not right. we need LOVE more than ever

[@prodigygetgud7921]

Thanks for what you do Nick. Powerful ending

[@RoseRot_]

Didn't expect this sentimentality from this type of show- incredibly articulate from all three of them

[@stevepisano5566]

Very much appreciated all three takes.

[@dwool-li3ck]

I have never committed on any KZbin video in my life… but that was the most moving, sensitive and accurate description of the state of our world I have ever heard stated. I have never seen your program before and am so glad I stumbled upon your commentary. I will forward this to everyone I know. Heart goes out to you and others from my old hometown of KC.

[@maryhill9496]

I've never watched this show, but i heard about Nick's monologue from someone, so i looked for it. It shouldn't take courage to say what he said, but it does. Right now.. it takes a LOT of courage. And he said it so well. I just want to shout him out. Good on you. We need a nation full of people like you.. courageous enough to say the simple things you said. Every single person with influence that stands up and says it makes it a little easier for the next person. You did it with the type of style and grace that doesn't just make it a little easier for the next one.. it makes it a lot easier. One day, we will stop failing our babies. I have to believe that. Thank you, Nick. That was awesome.

[@redflag4781]

Well said.

[@jamesgibson538]

Kudos to all three of you, for your sharing real humanity concerning this tragedy.

[@kellyrahmeier6243]

Thank you to all three of you for your words, all perfectly said. I live in KC (well a suburb) and my heart breaks every time I hear about one of these shootings. But it especially broke yesterday, everybody having one of the best days of their lives and some punks with automatic weapons have to ruin lives. Over 850 police officers, military, and federal agents, but it still wasn’t enough, that’s just heartbreaking. 💔💔

[@debkunkel5840]

It is so hard to hit "like" on this, but man, you three caught the spectrum of this. I can't believe I have to say this- so glad you three and your crew are all right.

[@Fdashpodcast]

I truly felt the same way When they were doing the show live Commercial It came back on Breaking news Shooting My heart dropped ❤

[@sheilajacobs9543]

Prayers for Kansas City. Thankful for you all and what was said, what you made me feel, made all of us feel. Thank you. Love you guys😢
