Just since you’re wealthy and well-known, doesn’t imply you’re good. That’s by no means been clearer in society (hello Elon, by no means been a fan). Pretty positive that’s what Good Charlotte was singing about. In at the moment’s version of exhibiting your movie star ass, largely figurative, generally literal, welcome to the get together Stephen A. Smith! The ESPN analyst’s newest attention-grabbing statements revolve across the Jan. 6 rebellion and up to date deranged feedback from UFC commentator, former Fear Factor 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 mentioned the assault on the Capitol was a false-flag incident. In the vicious circle that’s podcasters speaking about different podcasters, as a result of why else would you may have a podcast, Smith weighed in on these mistaken ideas, giving dumb opinions of his personal. I received’t run down the whole lot he mentioned 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 inform you an effective way to make a degree isn’t beginning out like Stephen A did. “I have no clue what Joe Rogan is talking about,” Smith mentioned earlier than happening a rant about it, as a result of podcasting!
Next got here this phrase salad: “And by that I mean, I have no idea whether he’s right or whether he’s wrong. I am not siding with him, I’m not saying he’s all right, but I’m not summarily dismissing every and any syllable he echoes as conspiracy theories.” Huh? For all the data you already know, or perhaps faux to know, about sports activities, you’ll be able to’t Google it? Rogan is 1000 p.c mistaken, and any fundamental 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 in opposition to actuality is simply as unhealthy as mendacity, particularly as a result of Smith is aware of higher.
Smith defending Rogan’s proper to consider conspiracy theories shouldn’t be infringed. Criticizing each of their dumbass behaviors shouldn’t be both. Smith attempting to talk up for Rogan’s potential totally free speech can also be flawed based mostly on his personal arguments. Smith makes clear he desires 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 high quality. If you take heed to Rogan’s comments, he states one thing wildly unfaithful and says “That’s a fact” proper after. So there goes that entire concept. Basic analysis isn’t allowed on podcasts it seems.
This is simply the most recent instance of Smith spouting one thing he doesn’t know jack about. Usually his antics are confined to sports activities, the place scorching takes turning out to be mistaken has develop into a proper of passage for when the half-court shot truly goes via the web. This is an instance of Smith throwing issues into the ether to get consideration. And so, I assume 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.
