Jason Whitlock: “The person at the moment with the title ‘Most Important Person In Sports Media’ is Stephen A. Smith. The Katt Williams interview made me go ‘HOW?’... How did this happen? How did someone with such limited ability as a writer... Anybody who knows anything about Stephen A. Smith as a writer and as a journalist knows ‘WHOA, HOW DID HE BECOME THE FACE OF SPORTS MEDIA?’... Then I thought about Katt Williams... These people are installed. When Stephen A., several months ago started in with calling me ‘Fat Bastard’, I was like ‘OK, let me take a deeper dive.' Let me take a look at who Stephen A. Smith is. Why does this dude think he can call me out on my name, run around like Mr. Tough guy, and he ‘wants the smoke’?... Lemme see what he’s standing on. So I read his memoir, and when I read his memoir it was LAUGHABLE. The exaggerations, the things said in there... The things that don’t pass the smell test were enormous and plastered all throughout the book. That’s why I call him ‘Stephen A. Myth’... That’s why I questioned the little Wilt Chamberlain photo that Winston Salem State and ESPN run out there every year trying to justify Stephen A. Smith’s college basketball career. This is following the Katt Williams deal of ‘Look, all these people are installed.' They’re all controlled, they all must preach and say the same things and support whatever the regime, whatever the government, whatever the FBI, CIA [want]... Whatever they’re pushing out... The sports media is now the only gathering spot on TV where all of America comes together and watches these sporting events and talks about these sporting events. It’s critically important to have people in place who are willing to promote whatever the regime wants promoted. If the regime decides ‘hey, we’re tired of the patriarchy, we’re tired of masculine men, we want a more feminized version of men.’... Well, how do you feminize men? How do you get them to accept going against their natural instincts? How do you get them to normalize tapping into their emotions constantly like a woman? How do you get them to abandon reason and logic, and see manliness and masculinity as a willingness to publicly display their feminine emotion at any time? You take someone like Stephen A. Smith – an actor, an exaggerator, perhaps a pathological liar, and you establish him as the voice and the face of the sports media. Everybody gets to watch and goes ‘Well, hold on, look at this guy, he can barely write, he doesn’t know sports...' He’ll go on TV and say ‘HEY, THEY SHOULD GO KICK A FIELD GOAL ON THIRD DOWN JUST IN CASE THEY MISS IT! THEY CAN RE-KICK IT ON FOURTH DOWN!’... He’ll go on TV and say ‘HEY, THIS TIGHT END FOR THE CHARGERS IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL FOR TONIGHT’S GAME AGAINST THE CHIEFS!’... Even though that tight end [Hunter Henry] plays for another NFL team. He’ll go on TV and accuse BYU students of being ‘racist’ because someone’s auntie said over Twitter that ‘My niece had racial slurs yelled at her by BYU students!’ There's not a journalist that would do that and that would go on TV and tell that Duke volleyball story. A ‘journalist’ would never say ‘WELL, HER AUNTIE SAID IT HAPPENED ON TWITTER, THEREFORE IT HAPPENED! I’M GOING TO TAKE THAT TO NATIONAL TV AND I’M GOING TO DEMONIZE BYU!’... A ‘journalist’ wouldn’t do that. A journalist would say they need more proof and evidence before I’m ever just going to go out here and smear a university, a student body, or any kid. But ESPN has installed him as the face of sports journalism, and there are no journalistic rules or standards applied to Stephen A. Smith and everybody can see it. Everyone falls in line and says ‘WELL, HOW DOES STEPHEN A. GET IN THIS POSITION? HE’S MAKING 10-12-13$ MILLION A YEAR! HOW CAN I GET SOME OF THAT!?’... And the message from Stephen A. is: ‘do what they tell you to do’... If they want you to promote racial division, if they want you to promote a more feminized version of male masculinity, do it, there’s a big check for it. These people that are installed at the top of these industries -- they're comfortable distorting the truth. They're comfortable with exaggerations, they're comfortable with telling farcical stories. And maybe they're comfortable because we believe them. Who buys this? Stephen A. is a myth. Stephen A. is a plant. Do you remember when Kwame Brown kept insinuating that David Stern and the NBA gave Stephen A. instructions on how to criticize Kwame Brown? When Kwame was saying that, I didn't fully understand it. Now I do. That's the job. All these guys have batteries put in their back, and it's their job to distort and lie."
Watch Jason Whitlock of Blaze TV’s Fearless detail his ongoing viral beef with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, who has been trending on X the last 24 hours for mysteriously going scorched earth on ‘Fat Bastard’ Whitlock, and throwing potshots at his former co-worker at ESPN every time he gets the chance.
Whitlock references the explosive recent Katt Williams interview on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast where the comedian called out some of the most successful actors and musicians in the world today, and singled out certain individuals in Hollywood who unexpectedly experienced metaphoric rises to fame despite having very little acclaim. Williams labeled them ‘plants’, who people of power sought out to elevate with the intention of later using as puppets because they knew they’d do anything and say anything the establishment wants them to in order advance their handlers' agendas while getting paid handsomely for it. In exchange for large sums of money and blossoming fame, they will be under permanent compliance. Whitlock says Stephen A. could be the sports version of that individual, and simply a plant who was ‘installed’ as the sports media’s most brainwashed mouthpiece.
Whitlock also breaks down Stephen A.'s recent memoir, calling into the question the legitimacy of Smith’s romanticized backstory as a high school and college basketball player.
Check out the segment above as Whitlock explains the real reason why he thinks Smith has been so combative and hostile on TV and social media towards Whitlock this week.
