@FirstTake@stephenasmith There’s definitely an agenda against Jaylen Brown they clipped his saying it’s his favorite season but didn’t post him explaining why from that same exact stream… Yall just ran with yall own narratives smh… Here’s what he said
Here’s the Stephen A. Smith playbook on dealing with Black male athletes in his crosshairs:
1.He says something slick about your character and couches it in sports.
2. He threatens to attack you with his reach via ESPN if you respond.
3. He pulls in other Black men, normally former athletes with “credibility,” that he helped secure a job at ESPN via First Take, to join him in attacking said person.
4. If public opinion sways against him, he gaslights the audience by making it seem like he always supported the person he disrespected, cherry-picking moments when he had positive things to say about indisputable truths.
I’ve seen him run this play before and he will run it again.
