Because I do the dishes and give amazing foot rubs...except that one time. I just told people I took an elbow to the eye at a pickup basketball game.
What pissed me off he SPECIFICALLY said he doesn't give a shit what ANYONE says and he knows this will be controversial and immediately backtracks.
AND ESPN as a whole is bitchmade cause they haven said word ONE about this on the air radio tv internet NOTHING...
but let this had happened to one of their RIVALS?
I don't watch first take but I think I may have to dvr THIS one on Monday cause I want to see if SAS gonna say ANYTHING about it.
If he DOESN'T?
That to me is the final nail in his coffin he is the same tv troll clown as skip and he loses what little credibility he had outside the NBA.
My biggest beef with some of these black tv personalities...see Don Lemon etc..
These people can speak all day and night about black people and the community at large,throwing them under the bus,without any remorse,apologies or sensitivity.
and the black community sits back and grumble under their collective breath and is asked to have a thick skin and toughen up.
when it comes to gays,isreal,women etc..none of these cowardly lion black tv personalities have very little to say,and once they start saying something on these topics they back peddle and start apologizing.
see Rihanna,Dwight Howard etc..
To hell with all these fuggas,they get no respect or support from me.
That bitch is a nut case
In this society.....with the strength I have and the smith and wesson I carry.....I feel as though I would be more hurt by the laws in society.....then by avoiding a batshit crazy unarmed woman trying to hit me.....
must weigh the pros and cons.......
home boy messed up ROYAL...
the entire ESPN is supporting HER....
but this is good for SAS.
He has routinely been the supposed self appointed VOICE of Black people on ESPN and from everything to defending Cuban bashing Vilma etc...
hasn't REALLY been called out properly.
Funny that will be one of his white co-workers who ALSO missed the womb of ESPN when she left is going for his throat.
If he had just towed the company line nothing would have happened.
And in his confused mind he will try to say he was actually Defending Black men and THAT is why he got called out...
because you know we ALL beat our women unconscious.

Uncle Chuck he chose the wrong time to take that viewpoint/position and he didn't articulate it well.
He been in media WAY TOO LONG not to know that wasn't going to go over well.
Matter of fact he STARTED off saying it wasn't going to go over well..
Right there he SHOULD have stopped himself. We UNDERSTAND what he was saying but its just not something you can fully articulate in that forum to that audience in that time frame and come off looking or sounding good.
Anytime you try to justify hitting a women like that you going to lose.
Again I understand his point and it was valid but he was wrong.
Matter of fact Mike & Mike actually said the same thing and I'll give Greenberg credit he KNOWS how to talk for soundbites. He expressed the same view about women instigating an altercation. But was able to still focus on this particular incident being wrong. SAS failed to do that so he gets no defense from me.
its about SAS doing his job poorly before anything else.

Since this wasn't a topic that interested me very much (I got off the SAS bandwagon years ago) I never heard what he said until I watched this vid a few minutes ago.
My face just dropped as he talked. He did owe an apology. His talking of "provocation" was way too broad and on such a sensitive subject, he should have chosen his words much more carefully.
Being reckless with your words has a price and he's paying it.
Whoopi Goldberg is making the point I think SAS wanted to make except she's being very, very clear and getting applause from the majority of the female audience.
from the comments in here it seems like most didn't or just ignored it and substituted it w/ their own experiences or hypothetical scenarios involving women hitting men...but I can't fathom how someone could watch that video and not draw the same conclusion you did
I saw the episode when SAS said it. I agree with Playa about the timing and delivery, but I don't have an issue with his general idea. As for Whoopi, you think maybe a woman saying went over better than the way she said it? Just asking your opinion.
I'm sure it being a woman saying it helped but it was the message and the words that got the reaction. The other co-hosts were against her and on some "that's blaming the victim" shit but, as strongly as you could ever see someone make a stand, she didn't back down and reiterated several times "We need to teach our girls that it's not okay to hit a man and if you do, anything can happen."
SAS tried to say it without saying it and it got him in trouble.
Aight. Cool. Yeah, sometimes SAS gets so caught up in his "lively" delivery, that it's awkward or his message goes totally unnoticed. It's like a naked Halle Berry telling you that your house is on fire. After you get through staring at the tits and pussy, you might realize what it was she was trying to say.
Had to know the apology was coming. Oh well. Apology or not, I understand what he was saying and he was spot on.
What's funny is ESPN has SAS issue an apology and then they go to the topic of LeBron James picking his Jersey # lol They don't even discuss what happened or have Michelle Beadle on for a debate.. I have seen them do this before, when it's their own they avoid the topic but when it's someone else they embrace debate. Fuck outta here.
Exactly.
He was going to catch it either way but if he just said what he really wanted to say instead of throwing out a bunch of qualifiers first (and second and third) and talking around his real point, he would have firmer ground to stand on. Whoopi said "Nobody should hit anybody." and that's an easy stance to defend.
Just say "Men shouldn't hit women and women need to know it's not okay to hit men either and if you do hit a man first, you make it more likely that he's going to hit you back." All that talk about "provocation" was ringing the same bells as a nigga smacking his wife because she didn't cook his food right or she was overly friendly today with the checkout guy at the grocery store.
That's why it has nothing to do with his comments. It's always attack, discredit or eliminate black men.
No one should provoke people ! Having an entitled approach to provoking people is manipulative. SAS was trying to help but it came from the wrong type of messenger.
I disagree with SAS often but he said what I tell my daughters "don't poke bulls, it's not wise"
Don't "Black man" me on this one. SAS sounded like some amateur asshole posting shit on YouTube and not a guy who has worked for a billion dollar media corporation for years in an on air capacity.
Anything other than toeing the "Men should never hit women" line is going to catch heat but he completely bungled this from the very start and left himself open.
Don't hem and haw, just speak plainly and be ready to take fire. But he didn't. He wanted to play it clever and he got burned.
Fuck him for being stupid and reckless.
Why hasn t ESPN got on Michelle Beadle? She needed to keep shit in house....they let that cac cave bitch spot off at the mouth....
