Stephen A. Smith was raised in a feminine environment. His feminine energy is so high, I guarantee you he used to hear women talk shyt on black men every single day in his childhood. That's why his #1 target of his show are black male athletes. You don't see him going that far to argue with white men, asians, etc.
Back in old days he said something about women also being instigators of some of the domestic violence cases, he got checked by production crew and never said anything like that again. Ever since then his #1 target was black athletes.
