Today's view was wonderful and brought a tear to my eye when Desean Jackson and others showed up for that brave young man who had been bullied. I am a huge football fan and it restores my faith in some of these big name stars like Desean that he would take the time during Superbowl week to come there for that young man. Way to go, Desean Jackson.

I can't tell you how impressed I was with this story. First because you brought the subject of bullying to the forefront. Schools preach the "Zero Tolerance", but I know from my own experience with my daughter (although not to this extreme), that it is usually nothing more than lip service. The schools are afraid of these kids! They keep saying they are looking out for the kids and the possibility of retaliation. But if you continue to let them (bullies) get by with the little things, they will keep pushing the limits.
Secondly, I want to commend the three men from the Philadelphia Eagles for taking the time out of their lives to acknowledge this young man, his bravery, and his family. I live in a "football town". Green Bay to be exact!!! GO PACK!! Sometimes I don't know if these players realize how much some kids look up to them. Those three players taking the time out of their lives probably changed Nadin's life forever. I used to take my kids (and still take my 9 year old son) up to Lambeau field during training camp to watch the guys practice. If you were lucky, one of the players would pick you, and they would ride your bike across the parking lot to the practice field. I know from experience that MANY friendships have been made and lives have changed from that experience. I know not all teams and cities are as lucky as we are here. So I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to those players. Even though I'm a die hard Packer, They will always have my respect, and I'm sure that goes for many more viewers.
My best wishes to Nadin and his family. They seem like great people. Congrats to his mother and step-father for the job they have done. I was so unbelievable impressed with how Nadin conducted himself. It has to come from the parents. I wish them all the best.
Thank you for you time.
Lori A (Go Pack!!!)

What an awesome surprise!! Kudos to everyone involved!!! It takes a lot of guts to come forward and it is very traumatizing. I have been there and it haunts you for a LONG TIME! I have watched this video three times and every time I have tears streaming down my face. We all need this kind of support and love for each other in this world of uncertainty and its lacking of civility. What better way than professional athletes to say "We care" just by their presence for this young man!! :-)

I was so touched by Nadin's courage to come out to express the horrible event that he lived through. I also extend sincere thanks to The View for taking the time, to make the arrangements to present such a story to the world. I had tears streaming from my eyes because of Nadin's mature attitude and courage, the Philadelphia Eagles message to not only Nadin but to the world, and The View, for their sincere love and concern towards Nadin and his family and most important to send the message around the world...it is not right to treat people like that...it is so wrong. Thank you, thank you!

When watching the show on Friday and seeing Nadin and his family on sharing his story of what happen to him in Philidelphia brought me to tears. I am from PA and worked with children and teens who were in trouble with the law or were abused or was the abuser and to see Nadine sit there and tell his story and standing up to bullying took a lot of guts. He is a strong young man that I hope and pray will go far in his life and won't let this define him as a person. I also loved the Philadelphia Eagles coming and standing beside him to spread the message that bullying must stop. Nadine is a very special hero and deserves to be heard and I hope those kids that did that to him get punished and hopefully learn from there actions.
