Nick Wright FOX Sports News
Wright’s sports commentary has received both praise and criticism from media outlets. Complex’s Aaron Mansfield wrote, “First Things First is actually [an] enjoyable, reasonable sports talk, and Wright is a big reason for that,” and opined that “[Wright] knows how to build a convincing argument behind statistics.”Mansfield added: “The Syracuse grad has differentiated himself in sports media because of his persuasive nature, his defend-LeBron-to-the-death mentality, and his willingness to confront prevalent social issues such as race in America.”
Wright’s willingness to discuss social and political issues within a broader sports-related context has also been noted and praised by media outlets. Nick’s opinions on the U.S. national anthem protests sparked by Colin Kaepernick’s activism were positively received by German Lopez of Vox, which wrote, “Nick Wright has given what is perhaps the best distillation of the topic I have seen on television.”
Wright’s positive analysis of LeBron James’ basketball play has also been noted by media outlets. Mansfield commented, “Granted, yes, sometimes [Wright’s] LeBron takes are a stretch.” Kyle Koster of The Big Lead wrote, “Part of [Wright’s] shtick is not pretending he checks fandom at the door (see: his LeBron James love affair). That’s what helps him connect with viewers who, by and large, are sports fans themselves, grappling with the same biases.”
