Stephen A. Smith defends Clay Travis interview after alleged ESPN backlash

Stephen A. Smith sent a message to everybody who was upset that he had Clay Travis on his podcast.
Smith hosted the OutKick founder on his Audacy “Know Mercy” podcast earlier this week, and the two opinionists had a wide-ranging conversation that included their thoughts on cancel culture and whether or not Donald Trump would be the likeliest Republican candidate to defeat Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
There was some backlash on social media and sports blogs to the idea that Smith, an ESPN talent, “platformed” Travis, who has been persistently critical of ESPN as a company and personally mocked a number of on-air talents who work there for skewing too “woke.”
“I watched the reaction to my conversation with Clay Travis, obviously a successor to Rush Limbaugh on his radio show. You’ve got a lot of people writing stories and alluding to problems because I sat down and had a conversation.”
After Smith hosted Travis, The Big Lead editor-in-chief Kyle Koster tweeted, “Small sample size but Stephen A. Smith’s latest choice for a podcast guest has not been a huge hit internally.”
Ben Koo, the owner and editor-in-chief of the sports media website Awful Announcing, quote-tweeted Koster.
“Stephen A has largely been paid and been playing by his own rules,” Koo wrote. “ESPN folks have long understood and accepted this. His interview yesterday with ESPN’s biggest antagonist has had a major impact on how he’s seen internally. ‘Bad teammate’ is the kindest of what I’ve heard.”
Smith was up in arms over the idea that people had an issue with his amplifying a guest whose political commentary is polarizing.

“These are the people who are a problem,” Smith continued. “I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Clay Travis. He has his opinions. I have mine. He expressed them cogently with clarity. You can agree or disagree. I have my opinions. That’s what makes the world goes round. That’s what ‘Know Mercy’ is about and that’s what the hell it’s gonna stay about.
“Let me be very, very clear: I talk to everybody. I don’t agree with a lot of people or a lot of things that people say. I don’t believe that’s a reason to hate them, any more than I want that to be a reason for them to hate me.
“Listen to what I have to say. If my points are valid, man up or woman up, and admit it. If it’s still wrong and you believe it in your heart, then say so! We move on! Because that’s what I’m gonna do.”
Travis directly mocked Koo for his tweet about the matter.
“Either name your ‘sources’ or quit whining,” Travis tweeted. “People loved the @stephenasmith and me podcast. That’s what has actually upset the woke, the conversation was so well received no one has even uttered a public word of negativity. So now we have to whisper about anonymous people whose feelings were hurt. So predictable.”
sooo republican Chris Christie wants to enter democrat primary debates?
or is Smith an innovator in coonery?
Political post of the morning
I used to be hard on Stephen A, but seeing all the bootlickers who just sign off on anything white, whacked out leftists put in front of them, he seems to be in front of them bitches. 
Like I seen Marc Lamont Hill say men can get pregnant. Talk about a tap dancing mofo. And that's saying a lot because Stephen A can dance. But I seen him admit as much on with Cam/Mace yesterday. He works for the rat.

This may be the only time that I defend Stephen Coon Smith, but the first thing he said in that interview was "I would pick Biden over Trump".
It's posting the link that I got an issue with
that is the height of hypocrisy
He went at both Hemelle Michael etc for so called "political" views on ESPN airwaves before.
I'm very very curious if Bomani will comment on this situation
He wont...at least not on the pod, he may save it for Game Theory
Right, but I think him and Stephen A are cool and I think he may wait and sit back to see how this plays out. He's also mentioned repeatedly about being cognizant of "who he works for?". If it came down to Stephen A or Bomani, they would get Bomani outta here.
I agree with all that.
Talking Basketball and Life With Stephen A. Smith
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith joins to discuss his career, Damian Lillard, where the Knicks are at, and more!
www.theringer.com
listen I try to be fair about Stephen A Smith
But what he just did to Max is so b*tch made I can't ever co sign him again.
Everything he said about Max is not inaccurate
It's a lie.
Not a real journalist?
While Stephen A was on the school paper dissing coaches?
Max created his own show on public access TV as a teenager that got the attention of boxing legends
Like MIKE TYSON
This is pre internet pre Google
He made a rap song about boxing
Got hired by ESPN and Fox and had his own radio show and a lead HBO boxing commentator.
So basically he the godfather of most of these independent sports talking heads
WTF is SAS saying?
That's some bitter snake sh*t
ESPECIALLY after saying Skip could potentially do the same to Shannon he turns around and snakes Max.
