I usually avoid the ridiculousness of Repent's ignorant race-bating, but will take up the cause here. 'Affirmative action' has nothing to do with Steven A Smith's success. If you knew anything about him, you'd know that he was an outstanding columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer for years before getting the gig(s) on ESPN. While I cannot stand his strident act on TV, his intellect and sports aptitude is pretty well beyond reproach. I'm disappointed with the way he has decided to play his personna on ESPN, as it doesn't reflect how well he writes about sports.
