Stephen A. Smith has become a regular on the sports blogs because of some of the ridiculous things that he has routinely said on ESPN First Take. From accusing Chip Kelly of favoring white players over black players to downplaying the domestic violence accusations made against Floyd Mayweather Jr., SAS has stayed in the news over the last few months. So it should come as no surprise to hear that he's making headlines again, albeit for something that he said on SportsCenter last night as opposed to First Take. And it has quite a few people wondering when ESPN is going to ask him to tone down the comments he makes.
During the SportsCenter Top 10 segment last night, SAS was asked to chime in during a highlight of an impressive goal that Norway scored against Germany. But rather than offer any real insight into it, he decided to make a remark that didn't sit well with, well, anyone. After seeing the goal that Maren Mjelde scored, he said that the German team didn't try to stop her shot because "they might not have wanted to mess their hair up."
Sigh. And just in case people didn't hear him, he actually repeated it again to make sure his words came across loud and clear.
Despite this, it doesn't sound like SAS is going to face any disciplinary action. ESPN apparently spoke with him about what he said, told him that it was wrong, and left it at that:
SAS has also responded to the backlash he's received by apologizing on Twitter:
But people are still up in arms about what he said. Scroll down to see how people are responding to Stephen A.'s latest transgression.
