  • That 7 year old has NOT endured the last ten years of bad football we regular aged fans have, no wonder the fresh perspective!

  • Hey it happens. And if next year Williams makes a play to win you a Superbowl would you still think he sucks and send death threats? Don't think so. Those types of fans are losers And sad cause their life has little meaning accept a game that grown men play.

  • Turks don't like football

  • It would have been great of at the end of the letter the kid wrote "fuck you".

  • haha, but wouldnt that be hilarious if right at the end the kid would be like "but seriously, you fucked it up" hahaha. oh and another thing. williams actually fumbled the ball three times that game. the first was on the first drive on the reverse play but the niners recovered. and it scared me shitless when he dove for that one punt. i was like "that was close, i hope nothing like that happens again. let's pray for him to fair catch" and the rest is history.

  • lol fans are retarded. Your probable not even more skilled than the worst player in the league. And it's funny cause you get so mad when your team chokes but it's probable your fault cause your putting so much pressure on him. I hope every type of sport just completely shuts down for a year just to shut up the retards.

  • I just think it was great that Owen got a chance to learn something about sportsmanship, and about empathizing with someone else instead of only how something makes you feel.

    For those who posted death threats, I know it's not something you'll seriously do. People get emotional and pop off with things they don't really mean. Just this once, though, take the lesson from a 7 year old.

  • cenk is a turk thats why he wouldnt have done it.

  • All of the Niners FANATICS who are sending Death Threats are ungrateful. You guys suck for a decade, make it to the playoff for the first time IN A DECADE, are ONE GAME AWAY from a SuperBowl, and YOU'RE MAD??? SMH

  • @oakaveli You're fuckin right we're mad, cause some idiot fumbles the ball not once but TWICE. Us being bad for a decade and then having a SB trip literally slip out of your hands because some jackass is trying too hard to make a play when he had no real shot is reason to be pissed. If I tune into the news at any point and hear that K.W was assaulted by some upset fan, I wouldn't have a bit of pity for him.

  • ANNA looks amazing with that pony tail. Normaly I dont say this (dont want to appear like some of you blatant perves). But...wow!

  • I guess the only good thing about being named Prometheus is being called Pro for short.

  • urghhh i hate this stupid rogers add at beginning of every videoo -__-

  • atleast, he tried

  • I wish I understood sports. : /

  • @reckonaut lmao, me too

  • @SupaAmi I don't have a problem with TYT reporting on it. Thats perfectly appropriate. I have a problem with it being on ABC World News. I understand that Williams was touched, but not hating someone shouldn't be worth a news report on network television. Great TYT story, not great national new cycle story. Do you get what I'm saying?

  • Whats with the weird camera movements?

  • @asdfxcxv But it's not a TYT story

  • @Stm11111 I'm not acting like a bitch. I'm just disappointed that it's national news when someone still shows love to a player who made a couple mistakes. And it's NATIONAL NEWS. It not just a Young Turks story. So get off your pedistal you little prick. I have no problem with the kid's letter. It was really nice, but it shouldn't be newsworthy so fuck off

  • Man who gives a fuck if he fumbled. It happens. Plus it was raining.

  • The real story here is that a person is receiving death threats for dropping a fucking ball. Its a fucking game you retards. Calm the fuck down. God damn

  • @Gr4yW0rld shit 4real tho, im a 49ers fan but im not writin a fukin death threat to williams, im not gunna threatin sum1 jus becus they dropped a ball, okay so 9ers arnt goin to the superbowl, so is the world gunna end now? nd i bet if evry1 who's been writin him death threats, if that was you on that field you wuldv shit nd peed yur pants

  • @Gr4yW0rld Best reply ever.

  • @Gr4yW0rld Its just a game? You've probably never watched football or any type of sport a day in your life. It's much more than a game.

  • @Gr4yW0rld football fans are the worst people. it's such a couch potato sport. seriously ask any sports fan what sport they like, if its football, they're probably a lazy fatass. the fat in their brains prevents them from thinking logically, so they make death threats to players

  • @ElnAlter That is true for most spectator sports. Heaven forbid if they actually get off the fucking couch and go outside to play with their friends or children. THATS UNHEARD OF

  • with the name cenk's son has got and that cenk is his dad, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up turning into a super villain

  • Why is this news? A guy doesn't get a death threat in his mailbox, and we're supposed to be care? Its so sad that this is newsworthy

  • @sammaggie234 it's news about TYT

  • @sammaggie234 Michael Shure is a member is a co-host on TYT and his son is going to be on ABC worldnews tonight. I don't think it's weird at all that TYT decided to make a short 1:52 min clip to mention that. If it bugs you so much why don't you just unsubscribe?

  • @sammaggie234

    It's sad that you would get riled up after watching a video about a kids letter. Plus his dad works on the show.

    Quit acting like a bitch.

  • At least we haven't gotten as bad as some of those South American countries where they kill their athletes when they screw up.

  • After that game, I was in a room full of Giants fans that felt genuine sympathy for Williams. That's pretty shitty that people would go out of their way to make him feel worse.

  • omfg who gives a shit

  • @buminater94 You do because you commented. Grow up.

  • sports is one of the most primitive exercises of our species. disgusting tribal mentality at its core.

  • @Krauserowns how is it disgusting if its natural and primitive? dumb ass

  • @askdjflasf just like the shit that comes out of your mouth is disgusting. its not hard to comprehend.

  • @Krauserowns sports mentality*

    fix'd

  • @FengxianLeTerrible sports mentality is an offshoot of tribal mentality

  • I dont understand why people take sports way too seriously..Its just a game but of course you have idiots who think their lives depend on it......

  • What about the Ravens kicker that missed a 32 yard field goal?

  • Anton Williams (QPR player) got sent a bullet from a Chelsea supporter.

  • KYLE WILLIAMS, YOU BLEW IT! but i don't want you to die.

  • Kyle Williams failed his comrades and he failed San Francisco, and he knows this and I do not doubt that his soul is suffering as a result.

  • Everyone hear expressing their befuddlement as to why people get so upset over a "game" need to put down the soy lattes and respect that for many families, communities , and other units of solidarity sports are one of the proven ways of strengthening the ties that bind. And when a game ends like it did for the 49ers the unit suffers together like it rejoices together. My family has loved the same soccer team going back 150 years back home.

  • first 5 seconds is the hottest i've ever seen ana... dunno why

  • @liefur

    I know why... you've probably never been laid by a good looking chick in your life. Not saying Ana is BTW.

  • @hofifut Why wouldnt you say Ana is a good looking WOMAN. She is. Do you have glaucoma?

  • @hofifut youtube.com/watch?v=pz-qN9aIm9­k&t=7m31s

  • Ohhhh i didn't know that the kid was Michael Shure's son! Good on you Michael for setting an example.

  • ya sport starts arn't aloud to make mistakes only politicians

  • ANNA KASPARIAN VS KIM KARDASHIAN !

    Who is the Hottest Armenian?

  • @kousoulides Thats easy!

  • @kousoulides kim ofcourse...

  • i don't watch sports...

  • Rich, overpaid Men running around with pads and tights trying to catch a ball, I still dont understand why so many adults find this to be a serious deal.

  • @tehdouglas1 its an amazing game tht takes skill and its fun to watch but, ya its just some guys playing sports, more important shit to think about

  • people seriously get to fing bent out of shape about sports. Really people get a mental exam. I love how the kid is actually kind and loving, but the sad part of this story is that it's so unique that it made 'abc world news' and headlines across the country & world, as if feeling bad for someone who fubars the game *and likely their career* is wrong and you should feel betrayed as if you had any real say in the game. (Grow the **** up people)

  • @Kerns0Phoegon why did you block out the word fuck?

  • @Bloodlust392

    old habit that carries over from some MMO titles is all. :P besides i just proved another point, and that being that I can 'not say' something and be techincally free of any doing, but you still knew exactly what I meant.

    Besides it also gets people to read it and it shows where you think in some respects *as hell, bleep,& other subsitute words used by many* could easily be put in place.

  • @Kerns0Phoegon don't get me wrong, i totally agree with your comment but i was just curious. i love football but people take it too seriously.

  • @Bloodlust392 This isnt really important but man I was about to ask that same question!

  • I hate how the editor (Jesus... Jayar??? Both?) now cuts out parts of the video. Cenk is in the middle of saying something and the video skips like 60 seconds into the future..... That has NEVER been TYT.

    TYT, you've changed, and I don't like it. I used to watch EVERY DAY EVERY VIDEO! Now I barely watch any.

  • the youngturks has become a two-three day late reddit report...

  • oh my god, he fumbled the ball, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

    some people really need to get a grip with reality, it isn't life and death here, it is just a game, there are far more important things to worry about than your favourite team losing or that the gamble you made didn't pay off..

  • I get football is important to a lot of people but death threats?

  • cute. could you guys do an interview with Owen?

  • laces out! that's all I know about football

  • @EdgarD8387 A news show that wants people to watch it? That sounds evil. This doesn't seem like a publicity stunt but even if it was an attempt to get more viewers you can't blame a news show for trying to get viewers. Getting people to watch the show is part of the business model for any show on television or the internet.

  • sport teamz are srs business. oh wait no there not. shut up and enjoy your entertainment.

  • williams should not be returning punts. he has sustained 4 concussions over the course of his career...the giants new this an keyed on him early in the game

    thats why he made 2 fair catches when no one was near him

    the niners effed up having him as ginn's backup

    and anyone who sends death threats to an athlete is a fricking loser

  • @brabon1 "sends death threats to an athlete is a fricking loser" Whatever happened to "it's just a game"? Some people SERIOUSLY need to watch "Searching for Bobby Fischer" or something...

  • @cleanhomer i understand getting emotional....i dont understand blaming one player and then threatening him

    a real niner fan wouldve been happy with getting into the championship game

    the niners have sucked for a decade...now, they have a future...and a great coach

    WHOS GOT IT BETTER THAN US????????

  • @brabon1

    Yeah, I was wondering why he did a fair catch during those punts

  • @shaochiavang hes not going to admit it....cuz it means either a long layoff, or the end of his career...4 concussions is a lot

  • @EdgarD8387 Lol what the hell? Ok then lol.

  • @EdgarD8387 a publicity stunt? so they told the kid to write the letter, thinking that it would receive national attention? thats ridiculous.

  • Comment removed

  • laces out, alex!

  • Comment removed

  • this reenforces by thoughts that michael is the person at TYT i'd most want to know in real life.

  • Cenk. Keeping it real.

  • I always shake me head in disbelief when sports stars receive death threats for making a simple mistake.

  • @cne08 I always shake my head when someone is getting paid millions of dollars to catch a ball, and they don't catch it.

  • @cne08 simple mistake?

    @DarthAzabrush just a "fucking game"?

    People who don't understand the frustration have obviously never made a bet on a game before.

  • @BuBBaGump014 unless you had made a deal with certain people to ensure your gamble paid off then get over it, because it is just a game..

  • @BuBBaGump014 That's true. Because we don't waste money gambling on which guy can run faster or whatever.

  • @BuBBaGump014 Maybe you shouldnt be betting on it? It is just a game, how much emotion or money you put into it doesnt change that

  • @BuBBaGump014, "Simple mistake? Just a "fucking game?" People who don't understand the frustation have obviously never made a bet on a game before." Yes you're right. Because football is so important and things like your health, friends and family mean nothing.

  • @BuBBaGump014 You are the one making stupid-ass bets.

  • @cne08

    I know, they should be saved for those currently in congress and the fed reserve. ;o)

  • @cne08 right? I'd be like fine, why don't you go on the field and get tackled by 350 lbs guys several times for 16+ weeks and then not give up a football? Up here in Canada, we like to call them hosers.

  • You are my favorite news source, Cenk, but your comments about sports (who cares) and one time you talked about promiscuous gays being "just guys" or something like that . . . . Just GET OVER your macho self, and just BE A PERSON. There ain't no reason for ANYONE to ever treat other people mean. Remember, "mean people suck" applies to guys too!

  • Come on Bill, get Cenk on! No, wait...wrong video

  • I can't say I agree with Shure on the issues, because I don't, but I give the man credit for teaching his kid right.

  • This isn't news

  • I LOVE YOU OWEN!!!!

  • American football must be the dumbest game ever invented..who in their right mind would wanna run around on a pitch throwing an egg-shaped ball to eachother? = DUMB OR WHAT MAN.

  • @BNPpatriot You can talk that way about any sport and make it seem stupid. You could talk that way about life and make it seem worthless as well...which in the end, it really is. At least make a somewhat creative argument.

  • @BNPpatriot You must love rugby

  • @BNPpatriot um all sports are repetitive and dumb. baseball=hitting a ball with a stick. basketball=throwing a ball through a circle. football kicking a ball about. i could go on for every sport.

  • @StoneTNo5 all sports but cricket!!!!!1111oneone

  • Go 49ers next year all the way!!

  • It is suprising to see Cenk shortens his kid's name as "Pro", because when I first heard the kid's name "Prometheus Maximus" I figured out everyone'll just call him "Max".

  • @rasnac Max is for dog. Pro-fesional look it up in book:D

  • I love TYT, but I've been waiting for Diane Sawyer to report actual news for many, many years. I watch her from 6:30-7 most nights, and I wait and I wait. Doing a story about a 7 year old writing a letter to an NFL football player is preposterous of course, but that is how she rolls. No wonder ABC is owned by Disney, because this is a Mickey Mouse story.

  • @eqsmooth

    It's a nice story considering the guy was getting death threats.

  • @AmericanNohbuddy

    But it does belong on WORLD NEWS TONIGHT. That show has become a feel good chick flick and it is embarrassing.

  • @eqsmooth

    "world news tonight" is just a name, they mostly follow national news. And news casts always have at least one "feel good story".

  • @AmericanNohbuddy They don't do news at all

  • @eqsmooth

    Yeah they don't talk about anything going on in DC or world AT ALL.

    Stop with the obvious hyperbole.

  • Huge props for Michael. Raise that boy right!

  • @akburst510 Can't you just be happy that your team had a 7 game improvement from last year?

    I'm not even a 49ers fan, and I almost want to send the guy a letter of encouragement. People are so full of shit sending him death threats. It just isn't worth it. I could blame the refs for making the Lions lose to the Saints, but because there's also about 5 other things the Lions did wrong themselves, I won't. I'm sure that someone else in that game deserves blame for something.

  • Kyle Williams should be punished...for his sake. He should donate his next years salary to the 49er fans in some way, I am sure he can afford it (or most of it). 1 Screw up?...ya you DEFINITELY cost the 9ers from beating the Giants during reg. time, but people make mistakes. 2 game loosing screw ups? Nahh son, you don't deserve to be paid. Actually, donate his salary to the 9er's defense for working so damn hard.

  • I tried writting Billy Cundiff a letter but the pen went wide left

  • Shame if Ted Glenn jr. didn't get hurt. . things could have went better

  • Yeah you definitely have to represent TYT!

  • Trade Williams to Fukushima!

  • IT'S A FUCKING GAME!

    Seriously you're getting as bad as our British football hooligans.

  • @DarthAzabrush DAMN YOU GREEEEEEEEN!!!! X)

    Lol silly football fans!

  • @DarthAzabrush

    Haha... We're just as bad a lot of the time.

  • At least thankfully, he has received only threats. I suspect, if the equivilent thing had happened (in what we call) soccer, the player would already be dead.

  • Not sure which hate response I think is more clever.

    "Jim Harbaugh, please give @KyleWilliams_10 the game ball. And make sure it explodes when he gets in his car."

    or

    "@KyleWilliams_10. I hope you, youre wife, kids and family die, you deserve it"

    I personally am leaning toward the latter. Mainly because he's apparently single and without kids which makes the level of blind hatred hilarious.

  • Cenk...keeping it real

  • I got teary-eyed when I read the article. Amazing how a little kid can bring so much light through everyone's hearts from a small letter to Kyle. I hope Kyle gives Owen his gratitude. Regardless of the game, the 49ers made it this far in the playoffs. I'm proud of them making it. :-) And I'm proud of Owen's father for raising such a selfless and sweet son.

  • Alrite Mike & Owen!

  • Fuck the Stealers. I know where you're coming from Cenk.

  • Shure is a hack, but that doesn't make him a bad father =)

    Also, sports fans are dumb if they take it that seriously. Not just dumb, but heartless.

  • ya i disagree with michael alot, but he looks like a good man

  • People this is the new age, don't kill each other over sports, that makes you look like a neanderthal. What you should really do is be playing COD and if you get butthurt over loosing hack into the other person/team's personal computer(s), stash some kiddie porn on their hard drives, call the police, and then laugh maniacally as their lives are ruined. This is the 21st century people, grow up. Okay I'm just kidding, enjoy what you enjoy, and be a good sport and a god damn lib! :)

  • Okay, I'm drunk... Yeah, I'm drunk. Yep. Why does it seem like Cenk is drunk in this video?

    Ana looks fucking hot as usual. I would totally do her right now.

    Must. Drink. More. Vodka.

  • We have all seen Ace Venture Pet Detective (laces out!)

    Kyle may become a homicidal transvestite police chief, is that what everyone wants?

    Leave the guy alone,

  • Williams is a human being and human beings

    make mistakes, alot of mistakes. If you don't believe me

    then look up on the internet or on your history book Year 0001 to 2011

    I rest my case.

  • To all the crazy fans out there I say this:

    I would really like to see you guys do better but

    what do you do instead? You do nothing.

  • Go Pats!!!

  • Sports fans are unstable.

  • I thought Michael Shure was gay? 

  • @layahma I think he made a reference to being gay in one of the videos about those "gay therapy/conversion" ministries. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't have a kid.

  • fuck sports!!!

  • people take sports way too fucking seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx I wonder the same thing, specially what makes these stupid assholes think threatening someone's life would make them feel good after a loss in the game? Just insane

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx ? This is nothing. Americans are civil compared to the rest of the world when it comes to sports.

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx i know there fucking GAMES

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx their lives' are otherwise meaningless.

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx well, they gotta identify with _something_ because their lives are so empty and devoid of meaning. i know it because i do it too. the universe is an incomprehensible place and we will all die. we need distractions to keep away the thought of our mortality.

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx It's tribalism between teams

  • @xXEpicOwnageXx Yes.

    But this concept isn't new.

    Did not we have the Colosseum of Ancient Rome?

  • That SHURE was a nice thing to do....lol

  • LOL, a vote for Cenk for being brutally honest (◕‿◕)

  • I do apologize for my fellow 49er fans, but you can't just say "death threats just because he fumbled?" without understanding the whole situation. Although I do believe that how the fans treated kyle williams was terrible, this is a team that has been through struggling for nine years now. I had never seen a playoff game as a 49er fan, neither have many from my generation, so you have to understand the frustration coming from the fans since we got so close, yet came up short. still terrible tho

  • People take footballw ay too seriously in this country. It's really sad and I never understood it. I didn't even know who was playing because I really don't give a crap. Only sport I watch is MMA.

  • I read about this story on Yahoo a couple yesterday having know idea who it was.

    Now that I know, it makes perfect sense that a good progressive individual like Michael would raise such a sweet kid.

  • And if you turn the letter over, it reads: "P.S. But seriously, hang on to the fucking ball next time."

  • @fidorover lol from a 7 year old... i doubt it..

  • @fidorover LOLOL

  • this is not news

  • I don't know who any of these people are they're talking about. I'm so out of the loop in sports. 

  • Scmoopy papoopy, but in a good way!

  • Excellent video arrangement. Whoever is responsible for this, he/she deserves a promotion.
