AND ESPN SPORTS REPORTER HAS GONE VIRAL.
THIS HAPPENED DURING MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, SOMETHING I
TYPICALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT.
BUT SOMEHOW SERGIO DID MANAGE TO MAKE ME CARE A LOT.
HE WAS ACTING AS A SIDELINE REPORTER AND UNFORTUNATELY SINCE
IT WAS HIS DEBUT, TYPICALLY HE DOES HIS SPORTS
BROADCASTING IN SPANISH.
IT DID NOT GO OFF AS SMOOTHLY AS ONE WOULD HOPE.
AS A RESULT WE GOT JASON RUBIN TO RE-CREATE THE PERFORMANCE.
>>
IF YOU DID NOT WATCH THE VIDEO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT.
JASON NAILED IT.
HE IS SAYING WORD FOR WORD WHAT HE SAID AND DOING A HELL OF
A JOB OF ACTING JUST LIKE SERGIO.
HE ALMOST KIND OF LOOKS LIKE HIM TOO.
>> THAT COACH IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU GUYS HERE ON
THE FIELD FROM UP CLOSE.
JUST WATCHING COACH, FROM HERE.
WE WATCH HIM NOW ON THE SCREEN.
HIS DIVERSITY AND HIS BACKGROUND IS HELPING HIM A LOT TONIGHT.
QUARTERBACK FROM COLORADO, DEFENSIVE BACK IN THE NFL.
AND HERE HE IS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE THIS NIGHT.
MAKING HIS HEAD COACHING DEBUT.
>> THAT WAS WORD FOR WORD WHAT HE SAID, WE JUST REREAD IT.
CHECK IT OUT ON TYT SPORTS.
>>I AM MISSING SOME CONTEXT.
>> IT WAS A FAIRLY NORMAL GAME, HE IS A YOUNG BLACK COACH.
SERGIO IS FROM ESPN THE DEPORTES. HE IS A BROADCASTER.
REALLY NOT THAT IMPORTANT A GAME.
>> THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A BIG ACTUAL HISTORIC
THING.
>> MORE CONTEXT HERE.
NORMALLY IT IS ONLY ONE MONDAY NIGHT GAME, BUT IN THE BEGINNING
THEY ARE DOING TO MONDAY NIGHT GAMES TO LAUNCH THE SEASON.
SO THERE IS AN A CREW AND A B CREW.
THEY ARE GIVING SERGIO A SHOT IN THE B CREW.
>>HERE IS WHERE THE STORY IN MY OPINION DOES GET INTERESTING.
>> HE SOUNDED LIKE – THAT IS WHAT COULD'VE WRUNG IN SOME
PEOPLE'S EARS AS A RUSH LIMBAUGH THING SAYING HE IS GETTING
THIS CREDIT BECAUSE HE IS BLACK.
>>MOST OF THE HEAT WAS NOT ABOUT POLITICS, IT WAS JUST ABOUT
THAT HE DIDN'T DO THAT WELL.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE MAKING FUN.
>>THEY WERE USING THIS LINE, WHAT IS IT?
BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.
>>IT IS AN INTERNET THING MEANING IT WENT DISASTROUSLY.
>>PEOPLE Using THAT AND TWEETING TO HIM.
I'M SURE IT WASN'T A COMFORTABLE THING FOR HIM TO EXPERIENCE.
HE POSTED A VIDEO ON HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT AND IT IS JUST SO
SWEET AND ERNEST.
>> SO WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS TO SHOW SOME RESPECT.
MAKING MY DEBUT AS A MINORITY ON AMERICAN NATIONAL TV.
THE BIGGEST STAGE OUT THERE.
ON THE MOST HEARTFELT DAY IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY MADE UP BY
IMMIGRANTS.
AND ON SOME PEOPLE'S PERSPECTIVE IT ALL WENT WRONG.
BUT I TRULY MEANT NO DISRESPECT.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TO SHOW SOME LOVE TO THIS TO
HISTORICAL HEAD COACHES.
>>HERE IS THE THING.
YOU GUYS HELPED US RAISE MONEY FOR REPORTERS.
I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO HIRE HIM.
LIKE, I THINK WE NEED A COMPREHENSIVE SPORTS
REPORTING CREW.
AND WE DON'T HAVE – THE LATINO PERSPECTIVE IN OUR SPORTS
DEPARTMENT IN MY OPINION IS A LITTLE UNDERREPRESENTED AND
WE NEED TO HIRE SERGIO.
>>YOU LOVE LATINO MEN SO MUCH IT IS ABSURD.
>>IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
HE IS A HARD WORKER.
HE WANTS MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND I WANT TO GIVE IT TO HIM.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT HE COULD – I FEEL BAD SAYING THAT.
>>HE CAN GET BETTER THOUGH.
REMEMBER HOW TERRIBLE WE WERE ON CAMERA? I CRINGE AT OLD VIDEOS.
>> YOU ARE AWESOME FROM THE START.
>>YOU NEED THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE AND GROW.
I'M GLAD HE GOT THAT OPPORTUNITY AND I HOPE THEY KEEP GIVING
HIM THAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO BETTER.
>>OR IT COULD BE THAT HE IS A GOOD-LOOKING GUY WHO HAD A CUTE
LITTLE SUIT ON WITH A LITTLE LAPEL FLOUR AND SEEMINGLY –
TO
BE FAIR LET'S SHOW YOU –
>>EXCUSE ME.
DON'T PUSH ME.
>> I AM WITH YOU BROTHER, HANG IN THERE.
NOW THAT HE DID THE KEY VIDEO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ON HIS SIDE.
>> I THINK HE IS A LOT OF UNTAPPED TALENT THERE.
I AM MARRIED.
ONE FINAL POINT.
THERE IS THE POST HE PUT UP THERE.
NOW LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 22.
HE THINKS HE IS SUPERIOR TO THAT GUY.
DO IT ONE MORE TIME.
JUST WANT TO PUT IT ALL OUT THERE.
