So, he acknowledges that Nash is qualified, but that the role should have gone to someone black. Even though the star players, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving supported the hire, it's not good enough because Nash is white.
So for all those who were praising Stephen A last week for calling out Max Kellerman for being a dope (he is), don't. Because Stephen A is a racist dope, too.

Fox News Flash top headlines for September 3
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith slammed the newly-announced hiring of NBA Hall-of-Famer Steve Nash as the Brooklyn Nets head coach, claiming it's "white privilege" that landed him the job.
Smith began by prefacing that he was about to share the "toughest, toughest positions" he's ever taken and that while Nash has "no coaching experience," he's an "outlier" as a gifted player and mentor.
"Steve Nash is a sensational dude and if anybody deserves this opportunity absent the experience that obviously he has as a coach, it's him," Smith said. "Steve Nash is widely respected and loved by whole bunch of people in the NBA -- Black, White and beyond."
Smith congratulated Nash, and he said that his criticism was not about his ability as a player or who likes him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no way around it: This is white privilege," Smith declared. "This does not happen for a Black man. No experience on any level as a coach and you get the Brooklyn Nets job?"
So, he acknowledges that Nash is qualified, but that the role should have gone to someone black. Even though the star players, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving supported the hire, it's not good enough because Nash is white.

And let's not even consider the fact that Kyrie and Durant wanted Nash.

So they can continue saying they are still forced to work for white man

So, does this mean that Jason Kidd, Tyronne Lue, and others has black privilege for getting their initial coaching jobs with no experience?
At least Kidd, like Nash, is a HOF point guard. Lue? Less so.

I've always wondered if ESPN was merely afraid to fire Stephen A. He's a tool on every show he's been on.

Isn't Jay-Z a part owner of the Nets, who is black man???

Charles Barkley did not agree

"I was very disappointed in some of the guys on television today talking about white privilege. Very disappointed," Barkley said on TNT's "Inside the NBA" on Thursday. "They’re like, ‘Well, this doesn’t happen to Black guys.’ And I’m like, ‘It happened to Doc Rivers. It happened to Jason Kidd. It happened to Derek Fisher.’"
"When you have a responsibility, especially when you have to talk about something as serious as race, you can’t be full of crap," Barkley said. "You’ve got to be honest and fair.
"Steve Nash is a great player and a good dude. But I was so disappointed in some of these guys. I was like, ‘Dude, Black guys have done this before.’ Now, do we need more Black coaches in the NBA? Yes. Do we need more Black coaches in college football? Yes. Do we need more Black coaches in pro football. Yes."

I guess Trump was right again. The NBA has became a political organization. It’s even made it to the political board and this topic belongs here.

I thought Jay Z had to divest so he could put his money into a sports agency.

Even Stephen A. Doesnt believe that. This doesn't come across as a genuine belief as much as him looking to get clicks with the woke crowd.
Posted on 9/4/20 at 11:05 am to indianswim
So what. NBA will disappear anyway. Got woke, go broke!

Honestly kust turn the NBA and NFL over to black people,problem solved
Posted on 9/4/20 at 11:10 am to indianswim
All I heard was Stephen a complaining that there wasn’t unjust discrimination against a white man.
And how is this not racist?
And if Stephen A was white, and Nash were black?
fricking clown show.

Yeah Steve Nash only played 20 years, was a 2x MVP and 8X All Star player. He clearly isn't qualified because of his lilly white arse.
