Simply since you’re wealthy and well-known, doesn’t imply you’re sensible. That’s by no means been clearer in society (hello Elon, by no means been a fan). Fairly positive that’s what Good Charlotte was singing about. In at the moment’s version of exhibiting your movie star ass, principally figurative, generally literal, welcome to the celebration Stephen A. Smith! The ESPN analyst’s newest attention-grabbing statements revolve across the Jan. 6 rebel and up to date deranged feedback from UFC commentator, former Worry Issue host, and present conspiracy-laced podcaster Joe Rogan. What a pair these two schmucks are.

Rogan made an incorrect judgment earlier this week when he stated the assault on the Capitol was a false-flag incident. Within the vicious circle that’s podcasters speaking about different podcasters, as a result of why else would you could have a podcast, Smith weighed in on these flawed ideas, giving dumb opinions of his personal. I received’t run down the whole lot he stated as a result of I’d such as you to not really feel like ingesting bleach after digesting my content material, one thing Smith and I don’t have in widespread. I’ll let you know a good way to make a degree isn’t beginning out like Stephen A did. “I’ve no clue what Joe Rogan is speaking about,” Smith stated earlier than happening a rant about it, as a result of podcasting!

Subsequent got here this phrase salad: “And by that I imply, I don’t know whether or not he’s proper or whether or not he’s flawed. I’m not siding with him, I’m not saying he’s all proper, however I’m not summarily dismissing each and any syllable he echoes as conspiracy theories.” Huh? For all the data you understand, or possibly fake to know, about sports activities, you’ll be able to’t Google it? Rogan is 1000 p.c flawed, and any primary due diligence on the web would show such. And this isn’t meant to be political from Smith’s finish, by giving the fringes an inch, they take a mile. And Smith placing their various info up towards actuality is simply as unhealthy as mendacity, particularly as a result of Smith is aware of higher.

Smith defending Rogan’s proper to imagine conspiracy theories shouldn’t be infringed. Criticizing each of their dumbass behaviors shouldn’t be both. Smith attempting to talk up for Rogan’s skill without cost speech can be flawed primarily based on his personal arguments. Smith makes clear he needs to straddle the fence and never piss off liberals or conservatives, however opines that so long as Rogan clarifies his stance as an opinion, it’s advantageous. Should you take heed to Rogan’s feedback, he states one thing wildly unfaithful and says “That’s a truth” proper after. So there goes that entire idea. Primary analysis isn’t allowed on podcasts it seems.

That is simply the most recent instance of Smith spouting one thing he doesn’t know jack about. Often his antics are confined to sports activities, the place scorching takes turning out to be flawed has grow to be a proper of passage for when the half-court shot truly goes by means of the web. That is an instance of Smith throwing issues into the ether to get consideration. And so, I suppose I’m responsible of biting for calling out his idiocy. We’ll see how lengthy it takes earlier than Smith must steal extra consideration away from issues that truly matter for his deranged ideas.
