LOOK: Video of David Zaslav’s speech, Boston University sparks student protests

Being a political figure, it is necessary to watch your words before giving any speech or statement. Without thinking or correcting, it is not okay to give a public speech, as a single incorrect word or statement can land you in the news. We often hear news that many celebrities and political figures became the subject of backlash due to their statements. In fact, the account of some figures is also banned on social media, but it seems that many of them are still not taking lessons and making speech without thinking.

Video of David Zaslav’s speech

On Sunday, May 21, 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery Chairman and CEO David Zalsav took the stage at the Boston University commencement ceremony to deliver his commencement address to the alumni. Although while he was delivering the speech, he was met with disapproval from a section of students who were surely not happy with his speech. Not only this, but the protesting Boston University alumni were also saying “Pay your writers.” A video related to this incident is making the rounds on the web. People share this video with each other and comment on it. Because of that, this video has gone viral on social media.

It is not only university ground, but also facing backlash from netizens. In the 30-second viral clip, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery can be seen struggling to continue his speech at BU as protesters raise his slogans. In the video, he can be heard saying that “if you want to be successful, you’re going to need to figure out how to get along with everyone, and that includes difficult people.” He was unable to complete his speech and protesters continued to chant “Pay your writers.” Now after watching this viral video, many people are sharing their opinion and comments about it.

Victor Shi, activist, speaker and writer also tweeted about it. The youngest delegate for US President in 2020 states that “Young people know what is going on and they are not afraid to make their voices heard”. People love the reaction of the students and praise them for their loud voices against him. The chants raised at BU, at the time of David’s speech, were in response to the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America. Therefore, understandably, most Twitter users have shared their reactions with overwhelmingly positive responses. As of right now, we only have this amount of detail, but more details will follow soon.
