Dallas sports broadcaster Dale Hansen Talks About School Shootings

[TexasTowelie]

Channel 8 sports broadcaster Dale Hansen, a recurring viral sensation for his forceful and surprising takes on social topics, delivered from a perspective that could perhaps best be described as “woke old white guy,” addressed school shootings Thursday night.

A quote, and the clip itself, below.

If it was a Muslim or a Mexican doing the shootings how much money would we spend then to stop the madness? But since it’s almost always a white kid, there’s just nothing we can do. America has 5 percent of the world’s population and yet 31 percent of the world’s mass shootings. We’re worried about people coming to this country. They should be worried about us coming to theirs.

1. How is this received in Dallas? Will he still be employed this time next week?

I think this would get the most beloved personality in Arkansas fired overnight.

3. His job is safe.

Hansen is well respected in Dallas so a few right wingers throwing a fit won't carry much weight.

5. Really good news.

We need every voice crying in the wilderness we can get.

4. Hes an institution at WFAA.

He’s been there forever, but I think he has announced his retirement later this year. I imagine he does get some interesting hate mail, though.

2. Amen.

6. A good guy with a mic.
