Stephen A. Smith Continues To Carry Water For Domestic Violence Perps

*sigh*

Stephen A. Smith is back again...

Deadspin has chronicled the latest need for Floyd Mayweather's ESPN mouthpiece to be shut up by the network -- permanently!

Back on July 25, 2014, I made reference as to Smith's foolishness vis-a-vis his comments surrounding the initial phase of the Ray Rice coverup incident.

So, in 2010, he doubled down on Twitter to defend his boy -- the punk ass bitch Floyd Mayweather.

Let me say this: I'm hard pressed to believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. Put his hands on a woman, and I damn sure don't believe he committed Grand

Hands on anyone, least of all a woman. As for Grand Larceny, come on! Sounds like he may have taken something BACK from a woman out of anger

Shall we be blunt about it and say that there is no woman, because of Mayweather's position of power, he could commit a crime against??

Fuck that, Stephen A.  FUCK THAT.


According to the article, Mayweather had already assaulted five women by this time.

So, on April 8's First Take, Smith doubled down again to save his boy.

"[First Take host Cari]Champion explained that her position was based on both Mayweather’s documented—not “alleged”—history of domestic violence and his generally misogynistic attitude towards women. Smith doubled down on his position. “Her position is clear. Because she’s a woman, and this is how she feels.”"

And there you have it.  Right from the Damon Bruce school of spin.

And, really, that's the gist of it:  Have we gotten to a point that, to be a sports journalist...  Hell, to have ANYTHING TO DO with the Sports Machine in this country, you have to be a water carrier for domestic violence, murder, God knows what else...

And then you get to a comment my friend made to me on the subject:  That the ultimate water which is to be carried is that whatever goes on "on the field" trumps EVERYTHING:  sanity, safety, life itself!  But it's all about what happens to allow these gods to ply their trade.

So on Monday, as if to kick off Fight Week, Smith is on First Take again and...

"Smith maintained that Mayweather (and other athletes convicted of violent crimes against women, like Mike Tyson) “are relevant because as fighters they are great and people want to see them. ... That’s the reality of the world that we are living in. We all need to just grow up and own up to that reality.”"

And that's the problem.  The Show Must Go On -- at ALL cost.  Hell, we just had a domestic violence shithead win in NASCAR this week -- and FOX go to bat for the motherfucker.  That'll get another post later in the week.

Has anyone considered, Stephen A., that the basis for the "greatness" of the fighter (or the athlete, especially in the NFL) comes from a psychotic place that has no business in a civilized society, much less civilized sport?

Someone either needs to get this shithead off the air or punch him in the face and have him see how it feels...
