Thursday, Stephan A Smith, a newscaster for ESPN, used inappropriate profanity during a broadcast on ESPN. However, this is not the first time he has slipped the "N" word during his airings. This time he did not slip out this profane word to make any logical or illogical argument. While discussing Kobe Byrant's foot injury with Skip Bayless, Smith accidentally dropped a racial slur. Smith stated, "Opening night. Kobe Byrant is going to miss it because, 'my foot is sprained?' Are you crazy, nigga please." The most ridiculous part of this story is that this is not only time Smith has behaved in an inappropriate manner and gotten away with it. In December 2011, Smith used the "N" word while talking about why Lebron James should be more like Kobe. Smith has denied these December accusations on twitter, but he has not denied the recent ones about Kobe.
This article was found on Huff Post Sports and I was unable to find the author of this article. I thought the article that I read was very vague. If there were more facts it would be more believable. However, the author of this article also posted a video of Smith saying the "n" word.
