Wrong.

He made allegations that the NFL was conspiring to over-promote said quarterback during an NFL program.

You can’t do that and keep your job on a network that is an NFL partner.

By the way, I love how you idiots downvote verifiable facts. Y’all are hopeless.

Wrong

He called out the media for over hyping McNabb. He didn't say one thing about the league.

Her comments lack honesty and integrity.

She did not reference racism, but instead the political divide between leftist/Marxist/communist vs. conservative and she indicated ESPN was too “conservative.”

Ok, we just received additional confirmation of who she is and what she believes.

If ESPN is conservative then 3/4 of the Democratic party is alt right.

This is the station that's pushing the Griner Martyr narrative

She's not even a good enough sports reporter to still be in the game. Writes for the Atlantic lol

I’m so tired of hearing people of all backgrounds complain they can’t be themselves at their jobs. It’s not a bar scene or a hangout. It’s a job. An employer is not required to let an employee be themselves, feel good or any other bullshite the employee wants to present.

In fairness, she is so unhinged on the left that she probably honestly believes ESPN leans too far right.

Stephen A gets a lot of well earned shite, but he’s probably the most right wing person on that list.

If you can hear past the yelling and often ridiculous takes, he will occasionally say something that almost makes you think he’s a closet Republican

Classical liberals have more in common with centrist conservatives than they do progressives this point.

But neither party seems to give a shite about those people.

That’s because both parties have been taken over by their own extremists

Weird that racism didn't take down anyone other than her and Michael Smith.

Politics took them down, not racism. There are black talking heads on ESPN literally every single day. And some of them are pretty beloved. But people want to tune in and watch sports and sports related shite, not have politics (either direction) shoved down their throats every second of every program.

And what sucks is I always liked Michael Smith. And I assume I still do, I just don’t really watch ESPN at all anymore. And that’s not a “I’m cool bc I don’t watch it” take, but an honest one. I realized a while back that I haven’t watched even SportsCenter in like a year or two now. And it felt weird, but it was true. And that’s also partially because one thing Covid taught me is that I just don’t really care about sports as much as I used to. But I assume had Smith been partnered up with almost literally any other talking head on the network, that version of SportsCenter would have been more successful. People don’t hate Jamele Hill because she’s black. They hate her because she’s Jamele Hill.

That's most people.

Just look at this site.

Subjects linger on the 1st page of MSB for a week...with few responses.

When the poli board is posting more sports topics than the MSB, the sportsworld has a problem. From the product to the coverage...it's becoming a hard pass for people.

Stephen A might be outrageous and annoying but he doesn’t belong on this list with these other fools. Politically, I’d put him in the center if not slightly center right.
