Sports journalist Stephen A. Smith found himself tangled in the three-way feud between New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodger, football analyst Ryan Clark, and analyst Pat McAfee. As Jason Whitlock sees it, Stephen A. Smith might get the losing end of this battle’s stick, as Whitlock thinks “he has no fanbase.”
In one of his latest videos, Jason Whitlock and his co-hosts for the “Fearless” show touched on the topic of the ongoing feud involving Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Clark, and Pat McAfee. With how Stephen A. Smith has involved himself by taking a side and adding heated comments to the issue, the “Fearless” team believes that when words comes to worst, it would be Stephen A. Smith who would lose.
“There is some risk here for Stephen A Smith and the whole racial idolaters on that side,” Whitlock said. “That Stephen A could put himself in a position where ESPN has to make a choice between himself and Pat McAfee. As popular as Stephen A Smith thinks he is, it’s not an organic popularity. It’s a forced popularity.”
He then added that despite his online and media presence, Stephen A. has no fanbase.
“Pat McAfee has that thing,” Whitlock added. “Stephen A Smith has no base. He has an audience that ESPN has given him through repetition but people that are ride or die with Stephen A Smith? [It] does not exist. “
Stephen A. Smith is “Entitled, Ungrateful, Too Full of Himself”
Jason Whitlock also believes that with Stephen A. Smith involving himself in the issue between Rodgers, Clark, and McAfee, Stephen A. Smith might end up destroying himself in the process.
“Let’s let this play off. Stephen A is going to step on his junk and let’s let him go ahead and do it because he’s too entitled,” he said. “He’s too ungrateful. He’s full of himself and he’s he’s not recognizing that [ESPN] did this, Stephen A, we kept you on TV, we forced you down people’s throats, we made you who you are, you haven’t broken a story, you haven’t you don’t provide any kind of real insight. You don’t have a base. He has an audience but he doesn’t have a base.”
The issue started when Ryan Clark called out Aaron Rodgers and branded him a “fraud.” Rodgers then appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” and clapped back at Clark. Clark wanted to appear on the show, too but was not able to.
Eventually, Stephen A Smith took the side of Ryan Clark and urged Rodgers to just “ball and win,” criticizing the QB’s lack of Super Bowl under his resume.
