WFAA's Dale Hansen discusses his speech that has gone viral

[@hiphopesq]

Dale Hansen is the reason I'm subscribed to this channel. Thank you!

[@NicholasNemirsky]

Dale is Awesome! I wish he would be on national TV and discuss sports!

[@jerryboucher5622]

Dale Hansen is simply too good to be true.

[@nashashuknapayshi8314]

I wish he had an internationally syndicated show of his own that had a regular slot on all of the main stations

[@MegaJustGeorge]

I, too, would like to see Dale with a syndicated show of his own - it would really be an eye opener. If my memory serves me correctly, this is the same Dale Hansen who blew the whistle on Southern Methodist University football back in 1986 - resulting in SMU football getting the NCAA's "Death Penalty". I respect him for what he has done.

[@charlesshankle3178]

I honestly think he is America's very best. The national anchors have nothing on this man

[@jakhaughton6675]

Being British, Dale Hansen is new to me. Eloquent springs to mind. A very well balanced man and may his words of wisdom continue.

This black man would love to buy you a beer one day.

[@hhassan3273]

MrPCT007 lol

[@mogreen5630]

Damn it, you beat me to the invite. Okay, I'm buying...

[@kctexan]

Get in line .. it's a long one!

[@lifeiszain]

If he ran for President i would vote for him

[@revisann]

I am not a sports fan, but I have been a Dale Hansen fan and watched him since he first came to Dallas. He never disappoints!

[@CorneliusHerelle]

Hats off to you Dale, I admire you, the way you think, and tanks for tackling some of those controversial issues. I pray for your continued safety and well being. God Bless.

[@ljb5325]

Another example of that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

[@jasonkojack9423]

Who judges him 😉

[@shizunne]

Dale Hansen for president.

[@AslamKhan-sw1sd]

He'd be a million times better than the corrupt Jackass you have now.

[@ValyriaSnow]

Dale Hansen you have a black fan in me!!!!! Run for president please. PLEASE

[@AslamKhan-sw1sd]

Dale Hansen - I commend you for your eloquent comments about Colin Kaepernick's "Taking the knee" and your articulate rebuttal of the gun lobby's attempts to undermine any and all efforts at gun control in order to stem the flood of mass shootings. You are a real American patriot and joy to listen to.

[@christianer7802]

This gives me hope in this terrible scary place we are these days. Thank you Dale Hansen, for continuing to speak out!

[@MegaJustGeorge]

I couldn't agree more, Christine - I appreciate Dale Hansen, especially when I consider that back in 1986, he blew the whistle on wrongdoing in the football side at Southern Methodist University, resulting in said program getting suspended by the NCAA for two years....that's right, the "Death Penalty".

[@georgelinton5432]

Absolutely loved it.

[@maricarmen8776]

I agree with you Sr. and thank you for seeing outside the box. Many people needs to hear it and understand that those athletes are merely exercising their rights and making their voices heard. President Trump needs to learn to be more respectful and understanding instead of demonizing people who is not agree with him. It is important to practice mindfulness and understanding. Thanks again for coming forward and speak up your mind.

[@AslamKhan-sw1sd]

Chump is incapable of understanding anything that any decent person would know as a result of their upbringing. He is morally bankrupt and if wasn't for his Russian loans and ill gotten proceeds from his corporate bankruptcies, he'd be financially bankrupt as well.

[@solidisdante]

I got your back Dale Hansen! Local Texan from Dallas i love your segments and you keep it straight and shoot form the hip 100% and i respect the shit out of that!

[@lobridge420]

Thank you sir. Perfectly stated.

[@jermaineflanagan6337]

I respect this man! Awesome commentary. He gets it!!!!

[@michellelabrie1351]

Yes...black Americans are still treated unfair, and it has everything to do with skin color. Makes me so sad how we have not moved on since The Civil War. These views are instilled from your parents! I wish there were more men with compassion towards others like your self. It is obvious that you are comfortable in your on skin. That is why you are tolerant towards others who are different than you.

[@repentantconservative7030]

I think the term I am looking for here is "CITATION NEEDED". If African Americans were indeed treated so unfairly and if "WHITE PRIVILAGE" truly existed then there would be ZERO People Of Color in any professional sport.

[@davidlindsay9564]

We haven't moved on since the Civil War? Wow, how old are you? No one thinks less of you because your skin color, its 2019, not 1919. There were black congressmen in the 1870s.

[@woodsoncircle]

Dale has kept it "real" in Dallas for DECADES. Love his commentary on current events as well as sports.

[@sunstarsmoon5618]

You are a very honest person sir

[@victorevanssr.5034]

I love Dale Hansen straight shooter very straight to the point

[@lbthingsstuffmore9513]

Dale your just great!

[@gregoryleggett9773]

I'm way behind on this story, but major respect to Mr. Hansen for taking a principled stand against those lowlife, ignorant racists down there in Texas.

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

Dale is so cool.

[@cooljoescott]

I knew the hate was coming

[@itsdeanya]

I'd like to hear the rest of the story that got cut off, about the woman who says she's not a racist....

[@davidlindsay9564]

@icarmene phanord How many would be in jail though? How many did things that the only reason they aren't in jail is because of the NFL connections?

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

Why does no one talk about the injustice STILL happening to the ORIGINAL SIN of this country Native American Indians? I am all for black America getting all the respect they deserve, as long as Native American Indians get their justice first

[@jabjones2165]

Tell it like it is. Talk tall Dale.

[@electric8668]

Dale Hansen a military vet has more gravitas on this subject than Trump the draft dodging president.

[@Anna-ef4dv]

What a good man.

[@maryterry1980]

YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL A RASIST PERSON JUST BY WHAT THEY DON'T SAY ABOUT ALL THOSE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

[@Potentialaj]

he is the SHIT!!!!

[@MustardSeed5]

They shld all took a knee they wasn’t gonna fire everyone.

[@JaZaarMercury]

Hansen 2020

[@anthonycampos8057]

For anyone that thinks Texas is red all over well, think again

[@mikemorris7922]

Dale is lying about this.

[@alexandershirley7911]

I had to deactivate my Twitter because of my tweets from people on both sides for defending the players for kneeling and for saying how national anthems solve nothing

[@alexandershirley7911]

I've gotten angry responses from people I've even had to delete my Facebook because of my views

[@davidlindsay9564]

So because you think that standing for the anthem is a time when things like this shouldn't happen, you get called a racist? This is exactly why you get Trump.

[@imlistening1137]

No need for ugly comments, those you reported on are just terrible. I disagree with you, but I am very glad that we live in a country where we can all express our opinions. But this protest has less to do about race and more to do with hating Trump. By the way, he didn't say that the players should be fired. What he said was wouldn't it be great if these coaches would say "you're fired"! There's a difference.

[@hydraelectricblue]

Yeah............................*crickets chirping*

[@shirleywimberley5327]

always liked Dale until he spouted off the way he did. Now channel 8 needs to rethink letting him speak his piece. He was and is wrong.

[@gameshowguy2000]

Nope, he was and still is *RIGHT*. Wanna disagree with me? Get ready for a *BLOCK*, Shirley. And I will not hesitate to dish one out to you.

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

"Waaaah somebody who disagrees with my narrative. Fire him!"

[@Blacksince69]

I appreciate Dale Hansen for speaking open and honestly about these issues.

[@jasonkojack9423]

Karen !!!!!!!

[@SuperWagner23]

Funny how the NFL players say this about police brutality but get they demand police protection during their work. Take law enforcement out of stadiums and let's see how they act. It takes no courage to take a knee when those who you say brutalize you are the ones who are protecting you. With all due respect kneeling before the flag is disrespectful. Why not kneel in front of a police station ah, that would take courage.

[@SuperWagner23]

Amazingcreation funny, seems to me with the n word the black community hates so much yet loves to use it to discribe themselves. They are proud to use it and proud of it.

[@SuperWagner23]

Amazingcreation I am a bit confused. First you say nobody needs the police and get rid of them through arming legal citizens then in the next breath you say do their jobs. Which is it?

[@sleeptight2nite]

david wagner that's not a fucking post STUPID that's overtime aka moonlighting .. those officers are asking for O.T.. so W.T.F is your point

[@deloresarline3148]

Guess you haven't figured our that the ones doing the protecting are the officers with integrity and are doing their job as they should. Those are not the ones being protested ... just the foul, murderous, hateful, rogue cops are being protested. And you are wrong again... kneeling before the flag is not disrespectful .... ever been to a military person's grave side service??? Apparently not....

[@lissaluuful]

Taking a knee takes no courage? Are you serious? Look at kapaernick.. he still doesn’t have a job bc no one will sign him. He took a knee knowing it was going to make him the center of this whole debate & the face that all you racists love to hate. But it takes no courage? GTFOH.
