Stephen A Smith finds himself at odds with a colleague at the ESPN network today after his comments about domestic violence, which came after a discussion about Ravens running back Ray Rice. Michelle Beadle, who works at ESPN and usually hosts SportsNation said she if deeply offended by Stephen and “will never feel clean again” according to her. If you heard the show you know Stephen A was not trying to be offensive, he just didn’t word himself correctly. I am not defending him but it was clear the way Beadle tried to take it was not the way Stephen was trying to present it. Beadle herself said she was in an abusive relationship in the past said “I’m thinking about wearing a miniskirt this weekend…I’d hate to think what I’d be asking for by doing so @stephenasmith. #dontprovoke”. She is trying to turn it into something bigger than it is or was meant to be by Smith. She has also grandstanded in the past when the Jets signed Mike Vick she said she would no longer root for them if they like to employ people like him. Forget the fact Vick is changed person and that dog fighting issue was over six years ago. Do you guys think she has the right to take Smith’s comments to heart? Check the video.

Don’t see anything wrong. I remember getting into fights for my sister because of boys put their Hands On her. I remember telling her, you sure know how to pick them. I also remember walking in on her in this guy’s face her cussing, slapping and threatening him that if he touched her that her brother was going to whip his ass. Long story short, I had to explain the big picture to her.
I understand what Stephen A. Was trying to say…but the problem is that he got caught up in hearing himself talk and lost his train of thought. He usually articulates his point well, but the more he talked the more his message got lost. They are on ESPN, so in my opinion instead of getting SAS’s opinion, they should have been asking an NFL big wig why this type of behavior only called for a 2 game suspension.
It really just sounds like he is trying to say: “let’s make sure that an ipv (intimate partner violence) or dv situation doesn’t turn into mutual violence aggression cycle.
Nothing offensive said here.She has underlined issues with him they need to address
