Those five words from Whoopi Goldberg immediately sparked outrage until Packers Linebacker Micah Parsons looked straight into the camera and responded with a statement that brought the entire show to a halt
Green Bay, Wisconsin – 12/11/2025
The live national broadcast of The View was expected to be a lighthearted discussion about sports — until Whoopi Goldberg uttered five cold words: “He’s just a football player.” What seemed like an offhand comment instantly ignited outrage across the NFL community — and what happened next forced the entire program to come to a halt.
At that very moment, Micah Parsons — the star defender appearing remotely from Lambeau Field after Packers practice — looked straight into the camera, gave a faint smile, and calmly replied: “Let them mock us, let them say we were born to play this game. I don’t need Hollywood’s applause. I have Lambeau Field, my brothers in green, and a whole nation that stands with us.”
The studio fell silent. The co-hosts froze, and then the audience erupted into a long, emotional round of applause. Parsons continued, this time with a trembling yet proud voice: “We’re not just football players. We’re fathers, brothers, sons. We carry our cities on our shoulders. And when we step on that field, we play for everyone who ever believed in us.”
Within minutes, the clip spread like wildfire on social media — over 30 million views in just three hours, with thousands of comments expressing admiration and pride. ESPN, Fox Sports, and major networks replayed the video repeatedly, calling it “the moment that made America stop and listen.”
Whoopi Goldberg later issued a public apology, admitting her words were “disrespectful and failed to recognize the true power of sports.” But when asked about his reaction, Parsons simply smiled and said: “I’m not angry. I just want people to remember that we’re human too — with hearts, with responsibility, and with love for what we do.”
From that moment on, Micah Parsons became more than a defensive star. He became a symbol — of pride, of resilience, and of the unbreakable spirit that transcends judgment. And on that day at Lambeau Field, he proved that sometimes, a few honest words are powerful enough to change how an entire nation sees the game.

Foxborough, Massachusetts – January 27, 2026 – Shelly Sepulveda, a loyal fan of the New England Patriots for 20 years, passed away on January 26, 2026, just hours after the Patriots secured a spot in Super Bowl LX. At 39, she had courageously fought stage 3 ovarian cancer since 2024, and her passing left a profound pain not only for her family but for the entire Patriots community.
Before her death, Shelly was gifted Super Bowl LX tickets by Patriots owner Robert Kraft – a deeply thoughtful gesture honoring a fan who had supported the team for two decades. This moment was not just a token of gratitude but a symbol of Shelly's unwavering love and dedication to her beloved team.
Shelly was a devoted wife to Tami and an incredible mother to six children, along with more than 20 foster children she had cared for throughout her life. She dedicated her heart and soul to caring for these children, providing them with warmth and a home amidst adversity. Losing Shelly meant the family lost a mother, wife, and lifelong partner who could never be replaced.
Shelly’s death left the entire Patriots community in shock and mourning. Fans of the team, who had often seen her on the sidelines, quickly rallied to raise over $33,000 for her family to cover funeral and medical expenses. This act reflected the respect and love they held for Shelly and her family, a tribute to everything she had given.
Upon hearing of Shelly’s passing, Patriots star tight end Hunter Henry couldn’t remain passive. He personally visited Shelly’s family and donated $100,000 to help cover funeral and medical costs. Hunter shared emotionally: “This is the time for all of us to stand together. She was an irreplaceable part of Patriots Nation, and I just want her family to know they’re not facing this pain alone.”
Hunter's words touched the hearts of everyone, reflecting a deep sense of compassion and community that the Patriots have always stood for. Shelly’s passing is not only a significant loss for her family but also an integral part of the Patriots story. Yet, the legacy Shelly leaves behind – her boundless love for her family, community, and the team – will forever live on in the hearts of all Patriots fans.
