In this day and age, what’s the best way for an ESPN host to get back in the racing world’s good graces?
By yelling racist rants, of course.
And after many took issue with LeBron James and JJ Redick’s podcast, Stephen A. Smith did just that.
“Black coaches called Black commentators to complain that a Black superstar was doing a podcast while a Black head coach was in hot water, and the head coach ended up losing his job,” Smith said.
“What does this have to do with white people? It’s none of your business. Nothing. It was a black-on-black thing, but some nameless person is working for some other network and sticking their dicks in the air who has nothing to do with it, OK?”
Smith was apparently referring to Doug Gottlieb, who is white.
“Doug Gottlieb is white, but if he was black, Stephen A. and everybody would be talking about, ‘He made history. He’s the first Division I basketball coach to also host a ‘Daily Sports Talk Radio Show.’ He’s a historical figure, invincible, a pioneer, bla bla bla,'” Jason Whitlock said.
Whitlock noted that Gottlieb “knows more about basketball than Stephen A. Smith.”
“But because he’s white, he needs to stay out of this,” Whitlock added.
Steve Kim recognizes the hypocrisy of Smith’s thinking.
“People who draw racial boundaries on topics and what can be discussed are constantly violating those boundaries. Many of these people spend far too much time talking about other races and cultures,” Kim said.
“They don’t even follow the rules they themselves set,” he added.
