Don't bother watching 1st Take unless you enjoy Skip trolling and Stephen A tap dancing. It's not a good sports talk show.

"It needs to be said from me, a black man that not everything about race is racist . . . when the owner said there were too many black people on the kiss cam, and 'we need more white people at the game' is just business" Stephen House Nikka Smith


Dog you're lying on that man. He was talking about the white age demographic of what money they bring to the table in comparison what is currently comes in. Which is business. The owner said some fukked up shyt but lets stop being so sensitive

Did he not have a problem with some parts of the email? Did you even read the email? Have you ever been to a home Atlanta Hawk's game?

He was not c00nin at all.
Stephen Smith tried to legitimize the comments by actually saying he has a point about business. Whenever we face a situation like this, to put it in proper perspective just replace black with "Jew."

There are "too many Jews on the kiss cam." Sounds different now. Lol

I don't really care what Stephen A. was talking about, I don't listen to him anyway.

But as to the bolded of your comment....what I just READ for myself from dude's email(s), doesn't look like smart business. Atlanta is a VERY African-American heavy city. The owner of a professional sports franchise shouldn't be trying to preclude part of his fan base in an attempt to appease ANOTHER part of his fan base, especially when there's no guarantee that said appeasement will actually WORK. THAT is what's not smart for business. So you "fall back" from your Black fans in order to cater to your white fans with money....what if those white fans ain't goin' for it? THEN where do you turn? You just alienated your ENTIRE fan base.

Like, even if dude isn't racist (and I have no idea if he is or isn't), the mere implication that there's "something wrong" with a business model that doesn't exclude Blacks in a city that's largely Black is problematic.

Why do all of you care what people on that channel say? This site is obsessed with monitoring ESPN.
