After a video of Amber Wright hugging her son Brixton after a football game went viral, the internet exploded with mixed reactions. Some praised the mother-son bond, while others criticized the emotional display.
Brixton didn’t stay silent. “Some of you need Jesus… get the f*** over it for real,” he wrote in the comments, defending his mom and calling her his hero. He explained that the hug came from deep emotion—it was the first time his mom saw him wear his new jersey number, 44, in person.
The number holds a painful meaning. Brixton revealed his father died by suicide on April 4th, and the jersey honors that date. “My mom’s been the only person there for me my whole life,” he said. His dad, an alcoholic, rarely showed up for him, but his mom never missed a game.
Amber added, “Y’all who tried to break us—you FAILED.”
This was never just about a hug. It was about grief, love, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her son.
