Mom walks out after son Jacob Copeland commits to Florida | ESPN 

Nobody knows the truth though.The reason he chose Florida was because he was in a gang there and chose Florida to stay in the gang.His mom wanted the best for him and wanted him to go to a good school away from gangs.

@@v4mpfv if she wanted the best for him then she should have raised him to not be in a gang. So she can stay mad she already failed as a parent.

@@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440 parents can’t know everything.And even if she did what is she gonna say?No more gang?

@@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440 yea you sound like someone with no experience in this field dawg, the nicest of children can be in a gang and keep it hidden well. Life just hits people sometimes parents and children

@@ifyourmarriedyourasimpanda7440 yeah, just tell them not to be in a gang. They’ll listen.

You don’t know the full story

From what I heard he wanted to stay in Florida with his gang members.

@@qiucher879 I remember this happening but thought it was a joke.... There's a legit reason and story about why what's the story? I searched and couldn't find anything

@@qiucher879 it really doesn't matter, as someone who had shitty unsupportive parents, she is doing far more damage to him here than his "gang" affiliation will. Her behavior here is probably exactly why he chose to stay with the gang because he views them as having his back while she walks away.

Nobody knows the truth though.The reason he chose Florida was because he was in a gang there and chose Florida to stay in the gang.His mom wanted the best for him and wanted him to go to a good school away from gangs.

I think it’s his dad but idk

Foreal salute to that man the mother made a mistake but let’s not forget that woman put food on the table put a roof over his head and forgave him for all his mistakes in his young life I hope he found it in his heart to forgive her

@@squad4112 Nobody knows the truth though.The reason he chose Florida was because he was in a gang there and chose Florida to stay in the gang.His mom wanted the best for him and wanted him to go to a good school away from gangs.

I dnt c it as a vurnable moment, every 17 yr old man gotta make their own decisions, he gotta be in those bldgs etc.

@@v4mpfv that makes sense but also not

Any updates about the guy?

I thought I heard, he declared for the 2023 NFL draft. Probably why this is rotating again

@@Dontaskmeforshit Mom didn't want him to attend Florida because his gangster buddies are there. That was the excuse for her action.

@@8mathdaddy definitely beneficial to have all the information before vilifying the mother. She probably still shouldn’t have done that so publicly, but if that’s true her behavior is at least understandable if not justified

@@hitchcockisthegoat True. Still up to him. His life.

@Crazy TRK as I’m sure it is, but that doesn’t mean young blood can’t have a say in the school he goes to. He’s a man now and mom should encourage him to make his own decisions to better himself. Not be made to feel like an outcast for going to the school he wants instead of the one she demands. Js

@@ApparitionFVT Nobody knows the truth though.The reason he chose Florida was because he was in a gang there and chose Florida to stay in the gang.His mom wanted the best for him and wanted him to go to a good school away from gangs.

@@thammar1990 it’s true his mom talked about it

Jesus Saves

First thing I noticed👏🏼..what a good kid.

I agree. I would not have had that type of composure. I wish him greater success than he could ever imagine. His mother was disrespectful

Sheryl Smallwood Clearly you didn't see the mothers part.

Her other son got murdered in Florida and she wanted him to get out of Florida

The reason why his mom left is because the only reason he chose Florida is because the gang he was in was based out in Florida, Mom's wanted better for him.

Boiler Up!

@@carlanderson2468 Where did you get your info from?

@Aux4K I honestly don't remember, it wasn't like it was yesterday however I did read up on it back when the story first came out.

😂😂 you’re missing part of the story

Yes, absolutely disgusting this this mother wanted to protect her son by wanting her son to attend college out of state to get away from a dangerous gang he is involved in.

@@ajbluesh377 there is zero proof of what you are saying. He is currently playing for the Gators and is their #1 wideout as a junior and is doing fine. Don't say things when you have zero proof. Bama is a guaranteed way to the nfl n she prolly wants him to get rich so she can live off him. Stop it.

@@RD24LFG Its true, he was hanging out with the wrong croud in Florida and was involved in gangs, his mom wanted him to get out of that.

He chose Florida bc of gang affiliation, that's why she walked out.

He probably did it to get away from her...some parents can be overbearing.

​@@Johnny.1965really? Get away from her? I didn't see any dad. So that's means she brought him up all by herself.

When a boy becomes a man!

😭😭😭

west coast flava dont stereotype one womans actions as every womans reaction. She was vile not every woman is

@@Theloverofmusic26 His point seems explicitly anti stereotypes imo. Specifically the stereotypes that woman are always better caretakers, and that masculinity is toxic. I don't see how you got the message that all woman are like this from what he typed lol.

@@Danne1886 I thought it had something to do with her walking out and being a bad parent. But I see where you're coming from my bad

He only chose Florida because that's where his Gang is affiliated.

You don't know the story. He was affiliated to a gang in Florida and his mom wanted him to leave and make a better life for himself but instead he chose to stay in Florida where he can stay in his gang. It had nothing to do with sports bias.

@@CommentAuditor Oh I see

@@godkiller2101 yeah that's why you'll notice she was wearing a Tennessee hat and an Alabama jersey. She wasn't partial to any team necessarily, she was just against him being in Florida. Don't worry though because your response was my first thought as well because it wasn't explained in the video...after the fact I read the story and it made sense.

You could tell that his whole family wasn’t happy with his choice

he chose florida to stay with his gang. he is gang affiliated.

@@isodin5415 racist

@@mikehawk4856 He said the truth, this young man was gang affiliated and his mother wanted him out of this environment.

@@Paulie-Gualtieri still a racist thing to say

She wanted him out of Florida... only reason he stayed in Florida was because of the gang he was affiliated with and his brother had just gotten killed because of dumb gang banging so she wanted him put of the state....

@@richardgrace5043 dude u don’t know that

@@lucasanderson2781 that’s actually the full story

I know, that is truly effed up. It’s one thing being angry with your kid. To just abandon them publicly says a lot about their character. Looks like his new family embraced him right away. That was a true brother that sat by him.

@@anthonyhenderson2930 yea but bet she's gonna wants some of those ends .a DAMMM shame

Y’all speaking out of turn. That boy could be a selfish knucklehead that’s listening to someone who doesn’t care about him over his mom. You never know. Even if her reaction is wrong, what he’s doing could be just as wrong, depending on the convos that only she and her know they had.

@@catastrophe00 dosnt matter. That's her child he just got a great opportunity and she shouldn't have just walked out like that and probably embarrassed him. She should just be happy he's got that opportunity there shouldn't have been any convincing to go to anywhere just supporting him in his decision

@@tylerhowell4108 You’re not the authority on how to parent. What you said is dripping with privilege. Telling someone how to react to something. What if he told her “Mom I’m going to Florida because once my homies find who shot my cousin, I’m leaving football practice so I can kill the dude myself.”? There could have been all kinds of implications with his choice. Don’t tell folks how to act in public when you don’t know what occurred in private.

yep she wanted to embarass him. that was calculated, she wanted to hurt her son

​@@raisschultz420 I wouldn't necessarily say that, he's associated with gangs in Florida and her other son was locked up at the time

She only embarrassed herself. She is now seen as one of the world's worst mother.

Agree totally.

He should be embarrassed about choosing a program solely based on the fact that he has gang affiliations in that state, and chose to go there against his mothers wishes.

@@Josh-sh6oy says who????

@@Ganstapenguin do your research broski

Nobody knows the truth though.The reason he chose Florida was because he was in a gang there and chose Florida to stay in the gang.His mom wanted the best for him and wanted him to go to a good school away from gangs.

@@dozerwarzone6914 no…

I think he walked out on Family. Just go to Alabama the best way to get to the NFL and don’t be an idiot going to Florida. Sheesh!

@@dozerwarzone6914 you don’t make sense

who are the white people

Do you even know why she was upset at his decision?

She got paid by alabama she mad now

@@dewanmdurnto3592 or she wanted her son out of Florida cuz he was associated with the gang in Florida genius

Mom had his back. Read the comment right above yours

I'm sure she will love the money 💵💵

She did that because he's affiliated with a gang in Florida and she wanted him to leave so that he will not be caught up in that life style so hold off on your judgement before you know all the facts. I support what she did; he rather stay close to a gang than care about his own future.

he wasnt holding his tear at all.

DeAndre McGee Than she should’ve voiced her disapproval in private, instead of humiliating him on national tv. The only reason someone throws a tantrum like that is for attention, the interview became all about her, when it should’ve been about him. So classless!

@@misssmisssymaria if u were from the inner city you'd understand. People DIE from things like this aspiring athletes like this die over things like this take felonies and ruin their careers.. Its an important moment but as a parent it seemed he chose Florida for the gang ties and being the crazy area it is he could end up being like hernandez

There was no tear. And there is more to the back story than meets the eye. Dont judge a book by its cover.

Don't embarrass the young man though. She needed to handle that better. All wrong.

Yeah..make a scene, that will teach him

Yeah shouldn't have left him on live TV makes young men resent and press to do worse even more. Gotta understand how to make change if you want to see change. This is not a proper example of that, especially by a mother 💯

What people fail to see Gainesville is further from his hometown than Tuscaloosa.

And a strong mother would trust in the kids decision to follow a path he chooses.

Nfl

He's pro

@abroslife I know! God had plans for him. 💯😎

You can see him covering up his tears

@@simonhanus387 so what?

@@simonhanus387 yeah u right

Simon Hanus that’s what people say but he won’t be in the hood tho.. he will be in a college lol

He's definitely not an NFL Talent. That's not even up for debate. He didn't even stay at Florida, transferred and played even worse at the new school. 💀💀💀

@@mr.garryproudgoalonggetalo7711 I thought he declared for the 2023 nfl draft

​@@Dontaskmeforshit I could declare for the 2023 draft right now would it mean anything?

She was mad because that school is near his gang affiliation. Do your research

💯

W

Teachable moment. It's called SPIN to fulfill the collective enslavement of America. ESPN is a politically correct media beast. Conservatives have long been the victim of these tactics from mainstream media.

@@jazbeasley8249 she was hurt. Alabama was more than a school for her. It was a chance to get her son away from the gang violence that took his older brother and that he also had some affiliation to. I would have felt the same as a mother. Sometimes kids are stupid and you do have to make decisions for them.

All part of the agenda main stream TV is pushing

Keep that same enrgy if he gets drafted and makes millions..

Sadly the kid had talent I didn’t care where He went but he did commit to Florida to stay In the gang life

This is a young man using his independence as a young adult.

Definitely🙌🙌🙌

No. He went to Florida because of gang affiliation. He’s a terrible man. Learn the full story before commenting next time

@@SaraBeauty-hu7ox he's not terrible just misguided

You obviously don’t know why his mother reacted that way. Learn about the story and you will understand why she was upset.

Isn’t real

The mom was trying to get him away from his gang affiliations in Florida. This has nothing to do with God, bro

Venus Spacey nah bro if u go watch the full interview the guy in the dreads hugs him n thats when he dropped some tears. But the mother came back n hugged him but still fucked up.

TorqnGears Tommy Sotomayor hahaha😄

mobb s You are entitled to your opinion and I'm also entitled to disagree. That comment about black mothers is absurd. From the moment I knew my sons (4) were in my womb, I cared. You could never understand or comprehend the love I have for children. I feel sympathy for you because evidently u didn't receive that kind of love (could be wrong, just going by your comment). Whatever ur reason, u r way off. I couldn't have done what this mother did to her son. I would have been overwhelmed with Joy just to be sitting with my son at that table...so very proud of him and for him at that moment.

Emmanuel James you should watch the whole video where he does breakdown. It's so sad. I wanted to give him a hug. His mom does come back.

Other news said she didn't want him to go back to hanging out with gang affiliated people in Florida, that why she moved him from around there.

Her son was a gang member who had gang duties in Florida

@@allthingsbengals is he allowed to even be drafted with gang ties? I didn't know this but it seemed like she was more disappointment in where he was chosen and didn't agree with the place. can you provide the source for your information?

@@Irina-iw5ji just look up the reason his mom left on youtube

Jxst x Icyy exactly

This boi has dbzfs roblox in his profile pick.

@@user-mh4tl5ei7h and?

He was fighting them back. Mom that was a wrong and embarrassing move!! Never should've done your son like that on his special day at this special moment. Never Mom

@@MekaBanes agreed

Gabbie Alot of people dont know he has friends that are gang related in florida thats why he choose them and thats why the mother got up and left.

@@SuddenHaiku What gang

Wow Ms Petty patty , that's embarrassing, she could have conducted herself a bit better in my opinion 🤔

He smart to go to a school he could actually play for. Bama is so loaded with talent, their 3rd stringers can start at any other University.

T E E N D R E A M O it was actually due to his gang involvement in Florida and obviously his mother doesn’t want him to be near that, but later in the broadcast she does come back and kiss and hug him

Mr FAN thank you, I’m glad she came back and I understand now why she was against this due to the gang related stuff😊

@@hello100532 well I'm glad I read your comment before I posted anything......I felt so bad for that kid. I understand why she did that. (Kinda) glad she came back and he's doing well.

I'm from California and live in Alabama and when I tell you these people are insane about Alabama, THEY ARE FUCKING INSANE ABOUT ALABAMA! I've never seen anything like it! It's kinda disturbing. 😄

Well she did what she wanted to do and he did what he wanted to do!! She just has to realize its his life!

Do you know what she was upset at his choice?

She have to realize him that she raised in to make choices I know he's a man now and that she need to let go she done her part as a parent but don't worry he's going to take care of her that's what a lot of basketball players do to their mother and the reason why they work so hard and their new career is so they mothers or parents can be taken care of but they never have to again work for somebody else Michael Jordan did was that he brought him a major Hardware chain Outlet so that he never had to work for nobody else. And dad didn't have to work for nobody else he coming in once a week sit behind a desk for tax purposes and go down amongst its employees putting cash money in their pockets even though it wasn't payday and everybody loved him he might come there one day a week sit in the office going on paperwork get up and leave that's it ain't seen him no more sense. And that's what Michael Jordan did he took care of his daddy his daddy took care of his employee that's how life is

She lost a lot of money

@@joejose8433 if my mom did that I wouldn't give her a dime can't make someone happy who doesn't support you

He was affiliated with some gangs in Florida and didn’t want him to go there. Explains why she has a Tennessee hat and Bama hoodie on

Joseph Soto he doesn’t have any money

He still paying her bills

He just transferred…. Bad decision

@@clarencejarrettjr.4487 to where? What happened ?

@@bryanbee1604 Pretty sure he wants to finish off his collegiate and transferred to maryland terrpins

He shouldn't have stayed in Florida just to be with his gang then.

Saban is the better coach

I could barely understand a word he was saying.

@@davidthemod4729 me

Bro stop spreading this BS. This had nothing to do with gangs.

Bama is closer to his hometown than UF (by over 100 miles), so it doesn't make sense for her wanting him to go to Bama over UF given the reason.

T0PSECRET that don’t mean abandon your kid
