“YOU NEED TO BE SILENT!” — Karoline Leavitt’s Tweet Against Micah Parsons Backfires Spectacularly as He Reads Every Word on Live TV, Turning the Nation’s Eyes and Leaving the Studio in Absolute Silence!!...
In an unforgettable moment that has left fans and pundits alike speechless, Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons delivered a masterclass in composure and integrity after a controversial tweet by Karoline Leavitt accusing him of being "dangerous" and demanding that he "be silenced." What was expected to be a typical social media clash quickly turned into a broadcast moment that stunned viewers, turning the nation’s eyes on Parsons and leaving an entire studio in complete silence.
Leavitt, a prominent media figure known for her outspoken opinions, took to Twitter earlier this week to accuse Parsons of causing harm with his playing style and called for his voice to be stifled in the public arena. "Micah Parsons is dangerous. You need to be silent," she wrote in a post that quickly went viral. The tweet set the stage for a heated exchange that many assumed would unfold with fiery insults and heated rhetoric.
However, what came next defied expectations.
When Parsons was asked about Leavitt’s tweet on a live television broadcast, he didn’t lash out. He didn’t raise his voice. Instead, he calmly read her entire tweet aloud, line by line, before responding in a way that left the room—and the country—stunned.
"Let me take a moment here, just to respond with a clear mind and my truth," Parsons began, his voice steady and measured. "You said I’m dangerous. I don’t agree with that. I play with passion, respect, and integrity, but you’re entitled to your opinion. Now, you said I need to be silenced. Well, let me say this: no one has the right to silence anyone else. My voice, my actions, and my work speak for themselves."
The moment was nothing short of iconic. Parsons’ response was not laced with anger, nor was it fueled by the typical back-and-forth drama we so often see in these exchanges. Instead, it was a calm and rational dissection of Leavitt’s accusations, aimed at educating rather than attacking.
As Parsons continued, his words struck with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. "This isn’t about silencing voices," he said, "This is about understanding the responsibility that comes with them. I stand for hard work, respect for the game, and a commitment to my community. What you see on the field is part of that effort—nothing dangerous about that."
The studio fell into a stunned silence. Even the host of the program was momentarily lost for words, struggling to comprehend the calm, dignified takedown they had just witnessed. "That might just be the most dignified response we’ve ever seen," one analyst whispered, visibly in awe of Parsons’ poise.
Across social media, fans and critics alike were left grappling with the weight of Parsons’ response. Some supporters of Leavitt’s initial tweet shifted their stance, admitting that Parsons had not only shut down the attack, but had done so in a manner that commanded respect. "There’s no shouting, no insults—just pure, logical truth," one fan tweeted. "Parsons just earned every ounce of respect."
The backlash against Leavitt was swift. Critics of her tweet quickly took to Twitter to defend Parsons, with many pointing out the hypocrisy of calling for someone to be "silenced" in the same breath they claimed to support free speech.
Raiders Rookies Get Strong Message After Loss to Broncos

The Denver Broncos eked out a gritty 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on November 7, with their defense playing a pivotal role.
Geno Smith faced relentless pressure, getting sacked six times by the Broncos. Outside of Ashton Jeanty’s first-quarter touchdown run, Las Vegas struggled to move the ball.
In the end, the Raiders managed just 188 total yards, and Denver’s defense did enough to give their offense the edge needed to secure the win. Moreover, it was a challenging night for the Las Vegas rookies Jeanty, Dont’e Thornton Jr., and Jack Bech.
Jeanty’s inability to catch the ball led to an interception, while Thornton Jr. and Bech had key holding calls. As a result, it was a painful learning night for the first-year players, but Raiders coach Pete Carroll sees this as a positive for his rookies.
“This isn’t going to be forever,” Carroll told reporters (h/t Vegas Sports Today). “This is what it is right now. It’s probably the first time Dont’e had a shot at that route where he really had a chance, but we had to avoid the pick and didn’t get that done. We practiced it
“Guys that have been around, that wouldn’t happen too likely. They know how to avoid it because they know what’s coming. They’re going to get a call. Those things will go away. We’ll overcome that. If they don’t, then they’re not getting better. They won’t be here, but they’ll improve on those kinds of things.”
Brock Bowers Was Quiet for the Raiders in Week 10
Brock Bowers was largely quiet in the loss to the Broncos, a stark contrast to his breakout performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9, when he caught 12 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns.
With the Raiders’ offense sputtering, the focus has shifted to offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Former Raiders wide receiver James Jones criticized Kelly after the game, questioning why Bowers wasn’t more involved, especially since he finished with just one catch for 31 yards.
“Offensively, we got to do better,” Jones said on “Raiders Postgame Live.” “I know I come up here every single week and ask, ‘What’s our identity? ‘ I don’t know. Chip don’t know neither. That’s the problem. We don’t know if we want to run it, and we don’t know if we want to throw it. What’s our identity?
“… I expected to see more of Brock Bowers. We’ve got a lot of young players out there, and I know Brock’s young, but he’s our superstar. We can’t depend on young players to win primetime games like this. Yes, he got some opportunities, but I’m more concerned about Brock Bowers. How do you go into a game as an offensive coordinator and not find a way to get the ball to him? He’s the best player on the field.”
Raiders QB Geno Smith Suffers an Injury
The Raiders’ loss to the Broncos raised more than just concerns about their rookie performances, as Geno Smith’s health is also in question. The veteran quarterback was noticeably shaken up during the game,
Smith suffered a quad injury in the second half, which led to a short appearance from Kenny Pickett. Even though he was clearly laboring, Smith fought through the pain and continued to take snaps.
After the game, Carroll explained that Smith is dealing with a quad contusion, an issue that shouldn’t keep him out, especially with the team getting extra rest before Week 11. It’s been a rough stretch for Smith, who threw his 12th interception, the most of any quarterback in the league.
