@thegavoice: Stephen A. Smith isn't taking this lying down. The ESPN "First Take" host was hit with a "Thumbs Down" award at the NABJ's annual convention in Atlanta this weekend — with the organization accusing him of a "recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media." Smith's response? He took to X writing: "This is the epitome of Christmas arriving early... Let's see who REALLY deserves a Thumbs Down award when it comes to the Black Community, after I say my peace! Remember @NABJ, you asked for it. I've shut my mouth for years. Now y'all started something." The drama is just getting started. Thoughts? #StephenASmith #FirstTake #NABJ #ESPN #atlanta

Darrell E Hopkins :

I disagree with this underhand award because Stephen A Smith have a different view, on subjects of some Black Women that are known high profile women. He’s entitled of his views, on certain subjects. He’s not a monolith and to assassinate his character and used a underhand award without reaching out to him way back, when his view allegedly offended some people. I would not have excepted that award and rebuke all those in charge. Opinion

I’ve never liked the way Stephen A Smith tried to demean LeBron James, Jasmine Crockett and other political, sports figures and celebrities. How embarrassing for his legacy and children.
