How so when this super duper sell out got put on in philly, best damn sport show and ESPN because he was able to get interviews from top notch black athletes in the NBA.

If what he says is true he would have never been able to get interviews.

Anyway fukk this dude......David Aldrige is one of the most loved brothas in the NBA by players and built his career off getting info and interviews with the biggest black NBA stars for over 20 years.

Aldridge mostly reports though. Stephen A's job now is to opine. Of course people are gonna fukk with him less.

On another SAS related note...this has been the first time I have been home and watching ESPN's Sunday morning football coverage since the season started, why in the hell is this nikka on every single show and panel talking NFL?

 

[Pdiddy]

He has some valid points

 

[NYC Rebel]

Ive never heard anyone from the NABJ make his argument.

He's not speaking for anyone but himself

 

[Gravity]

Y'all love this c00n. There's a thread every time he says something

 

[Animal House]

This dude is.... nevermind i hope nobody is shocked

 

[AAKing23]

Man fukk this c00n ass nikka Stop making threads about this fakkit

 

[Easy-E]

Hold up, doesn't he hold black athletes to a higher standard

And this why I wont watch to nonsense. SAS is transparent.

So the dude who turned the great stand of solitude and pride at Missouri into black people shouldn't protest because women spit on each other So we need to focus on making black people stop taking checks from white owned vh1 and bravo, although he takes a check from disney, is now the same one that wants black athletes to empathize with black reporters, all while never reciprocating that same empathy for neither black athletes or impoverished disenfranchised blacks.

OK I guess I get it

SAS talking about Josh Gordon: He's a disgrace and needs to stay off the weeeeeeeeeeed.

SAS talking about Manziel & his drug, alcohol, & hitting his girlfriend: We need to understand that he needs help, and we must be fair to Johnny because if it were us we'd want the same treatment.

Start at 8:20. Stephen A. Smiths says that African American players hold black reporters to higher standards, refuse to talk to black reporters who report the facts and in doing so hurt black reporters' careers:

so we not gonna talk about darren woodson coming on 30 mins later and saying everything he said was true?


he's basically saying athletes brown nose on some "come on BROTHER, don't print about me sniffing that coke, you know we gots to stick together" type shyt

but then if he did it, and it would cost him credibility or his job... these same nikkas wouldn't even hook him up with an interview or say 1 good thing about him

He's like the most successful black journalist person in sports news. It applies to everyone.
