Claiming the scouts quotes were "racist as hell". Typical America

scout called former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones “a poor man’s JaMarcus Russell,” while another said of Jones, “Not the brightest cookie in the world. I worry about him when he gets money in his pocket. I just don’t know if it’s all there mentally.”

What are the chances they fire Stephen A Smith like they did Curt Schilling? What about at least reprimand him? Zero...

But it's alright for every white basketball player under 6'6" is Jimmer or if they project well it's Reddick. If they're taller they're Larry Bird

Correct. Absolutely zero. ESPN doesn't have the testicles to do so.

I'm curious as to why anyone would watch that garbage.

As well as how Stephen A Smith and Skip have a job.

Well, Stephen, I guess that is that then. Case closed.

SAS has gotten into trouble and been suspended for things he's said at ESPN before though. He isn't made of Teflon.

Regardless, he brings in viewers. I really don't think anyone can say that about Schilling.

So if a scout says a black QB is not very smart and would have a hard time managing his money he's a racist.

This wouldn't be an issue if they didn't have access to the reports.

It's racist to speak about minorities in as blunt and honest terms as you do white people.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

eta. Cardale Jones has proven that there are legitimate questions with his maturity and intelligence. People, of ALL races (cough Johnny Manziel cough) who are immature in pro sports typically have issues once they come into the fame and fortune of pro sports.

Agreed. Show is garbage! I can't watch either one of those idiots. SAS is dumb frick and that has nothing to do with what color he is. The only show ESPN has that I can watch is SportsNation and I actually like watching it. All other programming (besides live sporting events) are garbage.

When the sports week is slow, you can always count on first take to make up stories to get attention.

Stephen A. Smith is more of a arrogant big mouth dumbass than Curt Schilling is, but Schilling is the one that gets fired while Stephen A. Smith doesn't. Gee I wonder why that is....
