ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith recently went on a 45-minute-long tirade against Jason Whitlock, calling him “worse than a white supremacist” and “the worst human being any of you will ever meet.”
Stephen A. Myth
First off, let’s clear the air on Stephen A. Smith. He is not an actual sports journalist, he just plays one on TV. He’s a character actor with a gimmick, much like a WWE superstar. As such, he should never be taken seriously when he goes on his little rants. Like most personalities over at ESPN, his commentary is designed not to be accurate, but to elicit a response.
And on this particular matter, we must respond. His rant must be covered.
Smith, a less intriguing knockoff of Morgan Freeman, went on an absolute tirade launched in the direction of Jason Whitlock on his latest “The Stephen A. Smith Show” podcast.
To be sure, Whitlock has delivered his own legendary rants towards the ESPN character, referring to him as “Stephen A. Myth”, accurately pointing out that Smith was “installed” as a top sports personality, and claiming he “fabricated” stories in his memoir.

Stephen A. Smith began his podcast by claiming he had to ask his pastor for forgiveness and reached out to ESPN officials to give them a heads-up about his comments.
“Jason Whitlock, I said that name,” Smith began. “It’s not a name I’ve uttered. I normally don’t do that, but it’s necessary to do now. I’ve had enough of that fat bastard, that piece of shit.”
Smith insisted that he never speaks ill of his colleagues but it had become necessary in the case of Whitlock.

Stephen A. Smith’s bizarre rant hinged on Whitlock allegedly putting “himself in front of white folks,” which is essentially the tired Uncle Tom slurs usually reserved for blacks who don’t tow the liberal line.
“You see what he does is, he’s the one that puts himself in front of white folks,” Smith fumed. “The white folks, not all white folks, not most white folks, but the white folks that dare we say may have a problem with black folks. He says ‘I’m your man.’ That’s what he does.”
Whitlock works for the conservative outlet Blaze TV.
“I could not imagine, as a black man, knowing our history, anything worse than a white supremacist. That is until Jason Whitlock came along,” he continued. “He’s worse than them. He is the worst, most despicable, lying, no-good, fat-ass human being I have ever known in my life.”

This isn’t the first time Stephen A. Smith has gone after a prominent black figure who doesn’t conform to left-wing thinking, belittling them as ‘less black,’ even as he dances for the suits over at ESPN, playing whatever character script they write up for him that day.
Here he is shredding Tiger Woods, an absolute legendary wall-breaker of an athlete for daring to say – when Donald Trump was in the White House – that people should respect the office of the presidency.
Smith responded to that reasonable assertion by saying Tiger isn’t really black.
“Well, first of all, we don’t know what Tiger Woods believes. He’s Cablinasian. He’s not black,” Smith said at the time. “When he got arrested, he was black. He was listed black on the report.”
Stephen A. Smith is nothing more than a one-dimensional soap opera character and this is what he does. He doesn’t have a mind of his own, he’s simply paid to play a role and try and bring in ratings. Which is true of almost all of ESPN’s personalities. Colin Cowherd is a prime example of this phenomenon.
As a result, it makes for some pretty unintelligent commentary and programming.
On a side note – it’s kind of funny that Aaraon Rodgers is being dropped from ESPN commentary for making a harmless joke about Jimmy Kimmel but the higher-ups apparently cleared this obscenely racist rant by Smith.
