At a memorial service for George Floyd, Al Sharpton demanded that the NFL "repair" Colin Kaepernick's career rather than offering empty apologies. The hosts describe Sharpton's business model as one of corporate shaming, a tactic also utilized by attorney Benjamin Crump. Recent examples of this pressure include Chick-fil-A apologizing for an employee wearing a "Back the Blue" t-shirt.

Reverend Al Sharpton delivered a eulogy at the memorial service for George Floyd, framing the event as a tipping point for American policing. Sharpton, who has been a prominent figure at the funerals of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, emphasized the diverse makeup of the current protest movement. Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump continues to represent the Floyd family as they seek legislative changes.

Speculation arises regarding the prior relationship between George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, who both worked at the same Minneapolis nightclub. The hosts suggest the incident may have been a "premeditated hit" rather than a standard police encounter, citing suspicious activity at the club. They also mention "excited delirium" as a potential factor in the medical outcome, while acknowledging the optics of the event were devastating.
