Monica Mcnutt is talking about the WNBA, not diversity in the ESPN Studio. What are we talking about? Don’t cap, nobody was talking about the W 3 years ago. Even Shannon knew this to be true, that’s why he said “nobody was”. You can love women and admit that we weren’t talking about the WNBA years ago. Monica didn’t do anything wrong; I hope she stands on business.
Absolutely!
So you just completely ignored him saying the commissioner of the WNBA thanked First Take for bringing attention to the WNBA?
This!
@@angryvillain3206Thank you!!!
That WAS key!!
And that wast 2-3 yrs ago.. Monica was on one I wonder who filled her head because she was so confident lol L in that one Mo 😂
@1hennyjones I'm a black man and I can see the hate that black woman have for Clark. It's weird seeing it in real time but they have a major issue with her
“I hurt ya feelings? Youdontwannaworkwithmenomore? OKAY” 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 perfect for this moment
Hell yeah😂
Unc and Monica huggin and kissin on Ocho and Shay 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
What is it the BRAIDS??!! 😭🤣🤣
Your mood completely shifted after Monica said you could’ve been talking about the WNBA for years now. Glad you’re addressing this
Facts
Nobody cared about the wnba until caitlin Clark. That's what Monica camt wrap her head around
He is mad because he HAD been talking about the WNBA…i remember him talking about Taurasi and Maya Moore…
That’s why it was weird when she said that.. first take has talked about the WNBA when it wasn’t even beneficial for them
Stephen A has always spoke about the W. Not his fault nobody cared, but he did
Glad Stephen A has this show so he can be unhinged 😂
😅😅😅
The only news 🗞️ we heard about the last 2-3 years with the WNBA to honest was with that Brittney Grinner prison coverage.
and the bubble debacle
Stephen A probably covered other wnba stars but we didn’t care
Facts
That’s it.
@@carlocalingasan998That monica girl didn’t care either
We won't be seeing Monica on first take for a minute 😭
The lebron effect 😂😂
Fine by me, she getting too cocky.
Probably...she will be in recovery after having foot surgery from removing that foot in here mouth.
@@user-km3wu1sv8rcause she spoke real? def wouldn’t be saying that if she was a man.
Probably not. I didn't have a problem with Monica debating with Stephen A and Shannon about Caitlin Clark and the WNBA. But the moment she targeted Stephen A personally, that was below the belt. Most of us know, people say what's truly on their mind when either drunk or mad. For at least 3 years, Monica McNutt felt that Stephen A. Smith hadn't supported the WNBA enough in his other platforms.
ESPN took their 20 minute video down from the opening segment of First Take. That’s when I knew it really went down lol 😂
I was watching it but had to pause it briefly, and when i came back after a few minutes I go back and it was "unavailable" and moved to private😂
Why
@@Black____ same here
Yep. I was watching it and the video on RUclips went private.
Good thing these weird channels run the show, and they still have it up
ruclips.net/video/wx8FiQcqJWo/видео.htmlsi=7RGDI2G8fvu8v5FP
Bruh, take the high road. If Monica was incorrect, why didn’t you just show past clips to prove her wrong and leave it there, instead of going on your platform, by yourself, where no one can rebut. Mad respect for what you’ve accomplished, but you, in my opinion, blew this one !
And making ESPN take down the exchange 😂. SAS is soft for this
She called him out in public so S.A. is just returning that energy.
Because she was wrong. Stephen is always repping women’s basketball and sports
You don't make the rules and your opinion is just...your opinion
Correct
McNutt gotta be the craziest name
Right I bet they roasted tf put her in school 😂
Lols wild
It’s what happens when Ronald McDonald climaxes, he gets a McNutt.
No Diddy 😂😂😂
🤣
Stephen A got Mcnutted on
😂😂😂

No Diddy
No Diddy 😂
This comment made me laugh out loud, thank you brother 😂
That water cooler "Hello" tomorrow morning needs to be live streamed 😅
Ong 😂😂😂😂😂
Thats funny
😂😂😂
Don't shocked if she's backpeddling faster than a NFL CB in the next few days but i wont be shocked if she's not there for a while
Frfr 😂😂😂😂😂
Monica didn’t say anything about diversity - you changed the narrative. She specifically said the WNBA. Address that part.
Exactly what I was going to say
Yeah her narrative was stupid asf and it was ignorant to get personal
Nah, he was just complete in his response. I remember when those ladies came on First Take and I scratched my head. Sure they have a basketball pedigree, wasn't expecting to hear opinions wbna tho
He can be talking about cheerios and it'll somehow turn into a diversity conversation
What you said.
He talks bout WNBA more than he talks about NHL.
BS, he only talks about it when the ladies of the wnba are on the show. Last year he never talked about the wnba. I've been watching first talk since it started coming on.
@@draystewart4283which is borderline weekly!!! He’s got Chiney or McNutt or that other chick on all the DAMN time bruh 😭 Fridays are borderline unwatchable with all 3 and him. we act like he ain’t give all of them the opportunities to talk not just WNBA but NBA as well! They have been on the show so many times and can take it upon themselves to bring up WNBA more but they DO NOT. because what is there to talk about before Caitlin. Crickets.
@@draystewart4283what show talks about the wnba more ?
@@draystewart4283and how much does he talk about NHL?
@@draystewart4283 When has he talked about the NHL then?
Stephen A’s face when Monica calls him out 😂😂😂😂😂
He had to hold himself back.
He was so disappointed at the very end… so disappointed, that she said he coulda spoke about the WNBA 3 years ago
They should have dubbed in Baby SA lol
That's a sucker move to delete the full segment from ESPN but then talk about it on your podcast 😂
Regardless of if you agree or disagree with Stephen A, this is 100% correct 🎯
They didn't remove the full segment I watched it today on RUclips it's 41 minutes long
It's not deleted. Check out the first take podcast .
he doesn't have control over that
sucker move? why make your company money when you can make it for yourself lmfao
As a black human being, I thank you for your reaction in showing restrain, to fall into a confrontation, that could only put us black people in a bad light, as we all can see, with the coments wriiten, they are looking to create a media confrontation between the both of you.
Respect Mr. Smith.
SA keeps tripping over his ego. Dude get out of your own way. Take a page from Shannon’s book. Get Monica on here for a convo instead of tearing her down because your fragile feeling is hurt.
But was what SAS saying wasn't facts?
Also, if you watched Shannon's he siad one thing one first take and the opposite on his show with Monica. How is that called?
Huh???
Wait...why are you complicating the issue while being clouded by your past beef with SA???
Every time someone calls you out & tell the truth you have a problem with it point blank.
Then years later he’ll go on someone else’s podcast and finally admit he was wrong.
He so sensitive. 😂
He's just like trump: can't be wrong. REFUSES to be wrong. CANNOT admit being wrong. If you disagree with eiher, then he has to punish you or get revenge.
You clearly didn’t listen to the video but you were quick to comment, smh, kids these days
Facts
He should invite Monica on so you can continue the debate! There's still time
Nah, because she’d outdebate him. He knows better. She struck a nerve and he really didn’t have a valid excuse.
Saying the W didn’t have an audience when he literally has a 4 hour platform daily to elevate the league is high comedy.
I lost a little respect for him after this.
The correct answer woulda been “you’re right, Monica… we gotta do better”.
@@rtwo4570 she already shut him up. now he's gonna cry like a little boy.
YOU FOUL FOR THIS ONE!
@@rtwo4570 no it's not. The WBNA and women's sports in general hasn't been monetarily worth covering that's exactly the reason they haven't really covered it.
That statement is so stupid, when have you ever seen one person win a game.
That is NOT what she said….she never said you didn’t highlight women sports. She simply said with your platform and visibility you could have BEEN bringing light to the WNBA.
It have other men working at espn with a following like SAS yall just talking shit at this point SAS can't bring thousands of viewers if the viewers themselves dnt care
Is that better? Is that a valid point?
Why should he? Out of charity? The show talks about what we want to hear. Nobody cared about WNBA until thus year and its because of CC. Sooner the league and players accept this, the better it will be for them.
Yeah she lied. Smh
AGREED
She didn’t say women, she said WNBA
whats the difference? women in the wnba
Difference is Stephen A is talking about Women in sports and sports media.
Monica is talking about the actual LEAGUE, the WNBA itself. I love SAS, but Monica is right lol.
@@23byork23monica is not right
That’s the same shit, semantics
@@23byork23 Monica is wrong and so are you.
Stephen A. Smith's transformation into Skip Bayless is picking up speed, I see.
Woah relax
He did all this screaming and still didn’t say shit 😂😂😂 his pride is hurt by ms Mcnutt sis 😂
Gotta remember it’s Stephanie A smith world & where all jus in it’s this guy never admits his wrong ‘ Tired of this guy such a DiVva
She said you could have done MORE, when it comes to the topics about the WNBA! Not women on First Take!
That makes his point though because it wasn't profitable until Caitlin Clark. I would have liked him to cover Sabrina Ionescu more but that only made his point about Caitlin needing a enforcer.
He has done enough for the WNBA . Having the commissioner thank first take proves his point.
If it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense! WNBA DONT MAKE DOLLARS SO WHY TALK ABOUT IT. Unless you have a good narrative that gravitate eyes (black/white) boxing does this all the time.
She is talking about no coverage for the wnba like 3 years ago. First take wasn't talking about the WNBA enough for McCunts liking...that's what this is about man.
He could have done less
Damn Stephen A really looks like Calvin from "Paid-N-Full"😂💀
😂😂😂
on my fuccin soul lol i didnt see that until u spoke it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 I won't ever unsee it now
Matt Barnes was 💯. Caitlin's teammates must have her back, regardless of how they feel about her.
@jimmie5359 .. yea they’ve gotta do some serious team bonding.. and agree or disagree, but CC might need to give them some cool gifts.. don’t spend all the Nike money, but show them you’re with them, you know? You know they’re making 70k.. you’re probably closer to 20M.. they’re not gonna like that.. ease the tension, grease the tracks.. make sure they all have as many of your signature shoes as they want.. book them for spots in one of your commercials.. like a QB with his linemen.. take care of your girls, they’ll take care of you..
She not worth a game check
@@gbmbg114you don’t have to spend $1000s of dollars to make sure your team is on your side. it’s just teamwork and dedication. they have egos they can’t put aside.

@@paul19519 naw he always claim that First Take moves the needle. Therefore he could've used his platform years ago to bring viewers to the WNBA if he chose to do so. Unless his 1st Take influencer claims are invalid and more cap.
@@dwil8621 he could have.. but why when bo one cares about it until now?
If SAS had talked about the WNBA in the past, he'd have his own videos proving he did talk about the WNBA, not telling us to find it. SAS is full of hot air.
FACTS!!!!! He would've had those videos ready.
Ohhh, you hit the nail on the head. Preach
Lmao y’all can’t be serious
You can’t be serious. He literally stated factual segments when he covered the wnba. Wow lol
@jaquansimbastephens3302 You can't be serious to think SAS working at ESPN can't go into his archives and pull up any show he wants too, if you believe that, you can't see pass your nose.
Kendrick Perkins had a great comment on NBA Today. I’m paraphrasing but it was something like “we need to listen to women, because they know their game. When we use words like hate and jealously and resentment when we’re talking about women it means something different and we have to acknowledge that.” He was really eloquent about it while showing respect to all his colleagues male and female.
Perk don’t know what the hell he be talking about lmao. He’s a horrible media analyst. He was just protecting his sister Monica which is cool but because they’re women , we gotta be more cautious with the opinions and takes? Yet they want the same ratings and pay as the men right?
Amen, we goin listen to Caitlin Clark 😂
Women can do anything men can do, except handle criticism apparently.
Jealousy hate resentment are gendered words now? You understand how crazy that is right?
@@charles2731🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband and I have a daughter who has been playing basketball her whole life. Bitty Ball to NCAA and Oversea professionally. NO ONE was talking about WNBA years ago. Monica is telling the TRUTH!!!
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ stop it. I’ve been watching first take for years and that man has FOR SURE talked about the wnba for…. Years. Stop it. Please go do some research cause you are wrong as hell.
No, YOU weren’t watching the W. And you’re not watching jt now, you’re just watching one player.
Nothin to talk about 😂😂😂
He talked about it from time to time. I personally didn't care for it till Caitlin and Reese.
You def didn’t watch enough tv but yall need to stop blaming media the media push interesting shit simple their job is not to grow the game
Stephen A is changing what she said! She said his coverage of the WNBA isn't like it is today. Stephen A. talking about women in general is deflection!
That's because wnba has always been trash to speak on. People don't give a dam about until this girl clark showed up because the ratings prove it. The wnba invested 25 million a year for charter flights because this girl will bring the money
T R U T H
True, but what's the problem with that???? Ill tell you what it is, many WNBA players can't get out of their own way with the level of hate they have for Caitlin Clarke. if he wasn't covering the WNBA for 3 years, why didn't monica called him out 3 years ago, it is quite a very convienient time to call him out now that he is defending the future of the WNBA, the very same future in caitlin clarke that many WNBA players hate, which I find to be duplicitous and self sabotaging
@@royaltydeal1441lmfao no one hates her and you and everyone who keeps screaming that are delusional
@@Shakia-mi1og ok since you don't want to call it hate, let's call it jealousy. jealous of the fact that she is getting all of this publicity for her talent
Im sick and tired of SAS always getting offended when people have valid criticism of him, Monica made a critique of SAS coverage of the WNBA as a whole, and im sure Monica haven't watched every episode of 1st Take or other platforms SAS is on and neither have I,but I have watched alot of SAS coverage and I haven't saw much coverage from him until this year, so I agree with Monica and SAS needs to listen instead of always getting offended
He talks about the WNBA more than he talks about the NHL, MLB, Nascar Racing & Soccer
FACTS
@@mmou3878and if he started giving his opinion on how NHL players behave knowing he hasn't watched it in years NHL fans would tell him stfu too lol. They definitely would lol.
NHL is for Canadians and up north. MLB is boring until it’s the World Series. NASCAR racing nobody talks about. And Soccer Aka football is a world sports. Americans don’t like soccer unless it’s the World Cup. SAS is force to talk about the WNBA back then cause they needed more views and everybody was talking trash about it until now.
And
Nobody give a damn bout hockey and baseball and other white dominated sports
My question is why Stephen A. Didn't go that hard when Angel Reese got pulled down by her neck why wasn't that First Take?
QTNA
Facts … we all know why SAS failed to mention it…
You know why
Because the foul was called correctly and handled in the moment as it should have been. It also happened during a play not coming from behind when no one is expecting contact. Both events shouldn’t have happened, one required way too much work to get it even half way handled properly
Because the player who fouled her was ejected from the game.
Born and raised in California, just visited Indianapolis for the first time ever.
You see Caitlin Clarks' name and face ALL OVER the City. It's awesome to see little white and black girls all over the city with Clark jerseys and t-shirts.
The fever have been selling out home games. Its crazy the buzz she has around the city its a great thing to see.
I live in indianapolis it's a lot of black people here and alot of ra ostwhite folks here no black girls are wearing her jersey like that,and the people that's coming to the games or racist white folks from the outskirts like Lafayette Bloomington Fortville southbend Martinsville etc,beside fortwayne,Anderson gady and indianapolis Indiana is a pretty racist state so they going to support they own Larry bird fired Isiah and made Carlisle the coach and traded for Troy Murphy and Dunleavy cause he said white oeple comes to the games so deserve to see a white star.
@@stevencowart-ud7dsThat could be Indianapolis but girls of every race Love her. She has Fans of every race like Steph Curry. The Step Back 3 is that Powerful. Now are their a lot of Racist Fans who Loved Larry Bird and now Caitlin Clark, yes absolutely. But my response to that is the rest of the Fans aren't racist. 61% of America is Caucasian/European Americans. And I have reason to believe that a minimum of that 61% that is racist is: 50% .whether it's Consciously or Subconsciously
@@stevencowart-ud7dsblack people don’t support each other?? Black people aren’t either in your world?? Speak on subjects you got knowledge on… leave the racist convo to higher evolve ones!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Stephen A., You have a right to respond. It is "How" you are responding that is the negative in this situation. Your "Love" for Ms. Mcnutt in this situation is caustic. You maybe "Honest" in your response but you are acidic in your comments. Everyone is human. In some arenas it needs to be measured to give s positive effect.
I agree. But she got her own shot back!!!! And he was stuck.. LOL TV
Your are telling a falsehood saying she told a falsehood. She simply said you could have done more. That’s her opinion and you have yours.
She wasn’t speaking on female analysts, she said that you could have been talking about the WNBA.
Why?
Is that not why he got the female analyst?
@@ic0n29They initially got hired to speak on the NBA. They don't get to pick topics.
Most of the female analysts he has on are WNBA players . . .
For what? He could talk about mbappe - the biggest player in the world going to the biggest club in the world.
What the hell does him talking the wnba do? They’re a shit league who can’t govern themselves or turn a profit. Not until Clark arrived.
M&M will not be back on first take 😂😂😂😂
Nope 😂
I said da same shit
The receipts don't lie, and he is right. Queens run shit. However, he has been on Caitlin's ovaries a lil TOO much, for real, facts or not.
definitely ain't happening
😆 🤣 😂 she will be back.
I thought his response about Monica was very classless. She respectfully made a statement about how he could’ve shined more light on the WNBA. Now he feels like people only know her because of him. What a narcissist.
Out of curiosity, aside from first take what do you know her from?
MSG Radio
But we do only know her because of Stephen A. She misspoke and he didn’t want to attack her on air like she did him. She bit the hand that fed her was disrespectful to him by continuing to tell him: “ Don’t do dat” “Don’t do dat”

I think yall forget how media works. If no one wants to view/ hear about it why would they cover it? They aren’t making any money from advertising talking about what people have no interest. Now because of Caitlin there’s HUGE interest so now media will talk about. Imagine having a business selling a product no one wants to buy
NIL- PERIOD, PAST PLAYERS WERE NOT AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME IN THE UNIVERSE . total bottem line. period
Let me help your point. Some Players are lost in a delusion. They skipped the memo that informed them that they are not athletes but Entertainers that are athletes. Entertainers 1st. So it makes perfect sense what we see in the WNBA saga.

To move the goalposts?

U right and if I'm not mistaken they didn't talk about aja Wilson 50 point game

Monica Mcnutt was a basket ball player in the Wnba . Just the fact that Mr. Smith brought her on his show., Shows that he wanted to bring and did bring some attention to the league. Steven A. Please keep doing you! I appreciate that you even try to do something for black people and others don't. God Bless you.
I just watched Steve A Smith podcast and everything you said is true, but I just realized something, that made my skin crawl. It seems like nobody wants to say, what is actually going on with this situation with Catlin Clark. I think that Steve A Smith and other media people's are scared of losing there jobs, to tell the people's the real reason why these old players, vets, rookies, coaches, and organizations in the WNBA feel this way about Catlin Clark, giving credit for there hard work, that they held up for decades. Nobody wants to speak the truth, because they don't want to lose there job. I heard Steve A Smith say, Catlin Clark is bring more seats and revenue to the WNBA, but they said the same thing about 3 other WNBA players in the last 2 years. I watch Stephen Curry, KD, Kyrie, and other NBA players supported the WNBA players over the years. She is right!!! Where was the MF support for the black and white womans of the WNBA league, before Catlin Clark. What so special about one player that wasn't special about all the greats players before Catlin Clark. They stand on 10 toes to put this WNBA league on the map and all yall continue to sht on these older players, vets, and current players. Give them womans there respect too. Yall see money, but them womans ain't jealous of Catlin Clark, they are hurt, because yall make this woman the great white hype of the WNBA and nobody ain't talking about the other rookie or vets. Shame on yall. I watch Catlin Clark in college and I said she the next Stephen Curry, because she can shoot, but yall making her seem she going to save the WNBA league and forgot about every other woman in the WNBA league. That's why these womans feel this way. Don't yall see that!!! We know Catlin Clark is good, but like Steve A Smith say, "dam!!!" That's why on that court, they bringing the defense and letting her know, nothing is going to be easy in this league. You can't be soft in this league. This not, let her shoot it because she open and the fans want yall to give her the shot for free. Nope this not high school or college basketball. If yall going to give Catlin Clark her shine. Tell the truth, why the womans of the league is acting this way. Those old vets knows more than you media and Steven A Smith, because they played in the league. Apologize Steven A Smith. You missed her point bro, forsure, because yall scared to tell the truth. Black and white. Tell the truth, please
Good point, he is cared masa will reprimanded
It's more than race. No one wants to discuss the real reason more women didn't watch the WNBA before this season.
Look at the viewership before Clark and now. Look at the attendance of Indiana games vs other teams. Wtf are you talking about
Monica was right 3 years ago you weren't talking WNBA those are just facts
Nothing was going on until now
Because WNBA sucks and he's scared to say that
There was a WNBA three years ago? lol 😂 come on man, the game has never pulled in money or attention… recently some players that are fun to watch are bringing attention to what is a honestly boring game typically. As a matter of fact all this drama is basically Real Housewives of the WNBA, and I think it’s all dumb.
That's literally wrong, anyone that's watched the show knows that. But y'all want to come up in here to get your social credit score bumped up by trying to bullshit like you know🤣
NOBODY was even the wnba
What is your point?
She said WNBA has not been talked about to this extent on the show before this year. I have watched since 2011
She never said your staff wasn't diverse.
Wtf is this man?

he is all over the place per usual...pause
Facts no one was covering the W to this degree till now
Neither was anybody else. And he said he talked about it more than any other show which is correct.
@@hinata365247 She didn't say he never talked about it. She said he never talked about it to this extent
@@Mr_210so what ? Its interesting now. You don't get pity points covering the wnba.
Caitlin Clark hit Chennedy in the face and also hit her in the back of the head. Look at the clip before the foul, under the basket. . that explains Chenney calling her a b"tch as she ran and caught up with Clark. No one is isolating the tape to see Caitlin's actions and targeting . . That is why there is not support for her. The press will not make the players (team mates) respect her. . There is a reason her teammates did not go to help her up on ANY time Caitlin flopped and whined.
You can't isolate something that's not there.That's why you don't see those"attacks."They never existed.
@BreakingNewsDigest good point that’s exactly what happened Chenn just got her get back, but no one wants to see CC talks trash and plays dirty. That was fine in college but now she’s playing grown women who’s gonna stand on business that’s it that’s all.
I’m just
@@quabledistocficklepo3597clearly don’t actually watch games .. CC is known for the shove off … can’t get mad when you get it back…. Sometimes it comes back to you at a greater level..
Exactly! She had been doing it the entire game and talking trash… don’t dish it if you can’t take it
They’re both right. The argument is really between is it frustration vs hate
Catlyn C should leave all these messy women alone and leave the WNBA - lets see the ratings tank.
You spelled "jealousy" wrong.
Stephen A is trying his best to change the topic. That way he’s right about one of them
Absolutely spot on. They are both right however, it got personal. She couldnt deliver her point properly so resorted to emotional tactics that lead to lose lose results.
Why the hell didn't you have a rebuttal for M&M when she stated her comment.. She did not say you don't support women. What she said you could've supported the WNBA more, not a comment you made on a tape years ago. I've listened to you countless times for years, and it was never a constant push for WNBA by you. Like you said, you wait for the opportune time to give your take on the subject and that's the point.
I love you Stephen a I do but I’m an aces fan and remember after they won the title first take had a 1 min segment about it. I think Monica’s point was that you are so GREAT that you could have brought the audience had you truly wanted to. You could have done more. But you also could have done less. I understand your viewpoint but I get hers too
Stephen A. stated nothing but facts. But what stood out the most to me is what he said about the lack of women supporting the WNBA. If women support it, it will prosper. Something else that people missed is when he brought up diversity and the WNBA players that he brought to First Take, that completely destroyed Monica McNutt’s argument. Who better to promote the WNBA than WNBA players? And he gave them one of, if not the most marketable platforms in sports media to do so. The fact that she said that on his show while being a part of his show is comical and sad. That’s why the WNBA is not as popular as they could be. They don’t even know how to market themselves, so how can you expect someone else to.
Agreed
We may not see Monica for bit 😢I think Andraya gonna get that spot! Poor Molly looked like 😮when SAS got called out 😅
I like Andraya better!!!
Andraya will air him out too😂
She lookin like “she bout to get Max Kellerman’d!”
@lestavamp8865 oh well she was unprofessional
@@malikwilson7387she wasn’t unprofessional at all, this dude is unprofessional every day. He is not above getting called out
I don't often agree with SAS but I thought calling him out like that on his show is a move you pull if you're perfectly fine of never going on that show again if you feel that strongly. Because (unlike a main co-host like Max or Shannon) the only reason why people are getting to hear you is because you're on his platform. That's something you talk to him behind the scenes or before the show and give a heads up.
I don’t mind the attention Clark gets, but Reese deserves the same if not more. Without Reese, I would never know anything about Clark. I use to watch the Comets. This year was the first I’ve watched the WNBA draft, because of Reese. I bought tickets to see an away game to watch the Chicago Sky, because of Reese. I’ve bought a #5 Chicago Sky jersey, because of Reese. I’ve been following the WNBA, because of Angel Reese. Give her her shine too. Protect her from the death threats and racism she experience. Speak 🗣️ out for her too. #AngelReese 👑
The problem is her character is not well received by the fans. Clark is a better overall talent that can run an offense and doesn’t have a snobby attitude like Reese. It’s not about color smh.
I love Reese, but I promise you It's the other way around. People know about Reese because of CC. Everyone was watching CC.... folk that NEVER watch women's ball were watching way before Reese was being talked about. Resse just makes it spicy. She does pull fans but it's because of her drama not her play.
@@TalesOfWisdomStories Clark talks 💩 on the court and expects to get away with it. That’s why Chennedy bumped into her. Clark added an extra flop to that. And no, I don’t agree with what Chennedy did, but reviewing the tape shows why.
Addressing it like that, respectfully sounds like clean up and hate. Brotha doesn’t like being challenged, ie Max Kellerman. I think because it’s contract time he only wants non-uncomfortable challenges from panelists. Her point was extremely valid.
How hasn't any of his people told him how narcissistic he sounds. This guy has completely lost his way on who he thinks he is. I can barely listen to anything this guy says anymore.
I agree with you so much.!!! I actually noticed it after Skip Bayless left First take… I’ve stopped watching him since then.!!
The understanding that I came away with it is that, Monica McNutt was basically saying that Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe should not broad-brush the entire WNBA with the "jealousy" claim or that Chennedy Carter represents every player with her cheap shot. Not every player in the WNBA is hating on Caitlin Clark. And I am of the opinion that Caitlin Clark alone is not responsible for the increased popularity and support of women's basketball or the WNBA.
Okay, so who is? The CC numbers says it all.
That would be incorrect
@@rpmarchant Do not be delusional. Look at ticket prices and attendance when CC is in town
Look at it when the other big dogs in town lol
How is it possible the INDIANA FEVER the SECOND WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE is getting 1.3 MILLION VIEWS ON THEIR GAMES but the CC isn’t the cause 😂
She wasnt talking about your roster she was talking about the wnba
yeah he knows what he's doing lol he does this all the time
Bc nobody cares about wnba until Clark
He is comparing it. Yall just say anything. If that's the case then women need to stop speaking on men sports and men need to stop speaking on women sports. Let them do it on their own.
Stephen A is a control freak. He's changing the narrative to make it seem like what she said wasn't true.
Ya he deflected the conversation to how he empowered various underrepresented groups . He doesn’t address the minuscule coverage of the WNBA previously. First Take and presumably other shows just jumped on the Clark bandwagon. Truthfully there
Has been little coverage of the WNBA even with Clark, until this narrative that she is targeted and black players resent her started. People like Shannon Sharp and StephenA suggesting opposing players take a dive, so she can look good, is ridiculous.
Come on SAS! EGO = Edging God Out. Monica spoke her truth and it's not a real relationship unless folks can do that without hearing retaliation which is what this is. You are proving her point whether you can receive that or not. She humbled you and you didn't handle it well. But it's a teachable moment. I'm proud of her. We should all speak truth to power... That couldn't have been easy for her. I'm sure she knows how you are
Remember this same guy who said “I have no use for the WNBA”
HE SURE ENOUGH DID SAY THAT. Betcha your azz he does now...
Crazy how many are trying to back track on saying this now because of Caitlin.
I mean we would all be fine if the WNBA never existed,honestly.
@@WhoseIAm7he sure did! Does that dude don't think we remember that?
Wow. I forgot about that!
Was First Take talking about WNBA 3 years ago? No but thats not the point Stephen A was making. He was saying that First Take talked about the WNBA more than any other sports show at that time which is actually a fact. First Take didnt talk WNBA much but they had moments when they would bring up WNBA segments here and there aside from shows who wouldnt bring it up at all. Thats what he was trying to say. The interest for the W have not been there for these shows to talk about it. Which is why a lot of these shows dont talk about other sports like Hockey, Tennis and various others. They dont draw much ratings. Hockey is starting to grow more however
Yep.
You're wrong, ESPN sport center was talking about more then First Take, get your facts straight.
@@mastermillionbeats1780 Thats fair.. Wasnt aware of that but i know it wasnt many sport networks talking about the W more than First Take.
She didnt say you lack having diversity in the work place. She said you weren't talking about the league 3 years ago and you weren't
Name a sports show that talked about the WNBA 3 years ago,more than first take did?
None, and that includes this nikka
@@SPLASHGOD575doesn’t matter. Stephen a doing what he does. Being good ole boy and got called out for it
No one wanted to hear about the WNBA three years ago. He was smart not to do it. Ninjas acting like they have been following the WNBA fervently. The ratings say the nation didn't care (still doesnt) so viewers would have switched off if he wasted time on that boring league. With the newer stars, they have a limited opportunity for sustained popularity.
@@Max2nice women need to get called out for not supporting the WNBA enough. That’s more important than Stephen A Smith
I’m sorry but all this rant does is prove Monica right. You changed the narrative.
She left Stephen A flabbergasted!!!! He’s mad at the embarrassment, not the comment.
Real talk, don’t bite the hand that feeds you!
Better to be pissed off than pissed on, as they say. And Mcnutt didn’t lie. I watched y’all coverage of the WNBA championship for the last past two years. Both years there were two minute segments at best about the Aces wining the championship
Because Tv viewership is about things that matter. WNBA will get more time when they warrant it.
😂 maybe to them it was only worth 2 minutes, you can’t force people to be interested in what you may be interested in, they covered it because it’s in the sports field but only for so long because it’s not entertaining enough, the stats show it lol they barely dunk in the wnba lol come on bro
@@GTL_Tuck you miss the point, too busy being sexist towards women sport😂, regardless of people wanted to watch it or not, dunking or not. Stephen A cannot sit on live TV and say first take strongly cover the WNBA, they did not
@@PankysPen nah you missed point, cause you too busy trying to make me look sexist, am I sexist cause I don’t enjoying watching hockey either? That’s a man sport correct? Lmaoo I’m not saying they covered the wnba like they are now, I actually agree with you. You probably didn’t even watch it or talk about it as much as you do now lol gtfoh
@@GTL_Tuckthen stop forcing Clark down our mouths she’s not efficient she’s not great yet. She has 4 techs. So because she’s the Jordan we are to stop playing hard?
T-Mac making an reference to playoff success in relation to someone’s greatness is INSANE… he should look in the mirror b4 making a statement like that
SA, are you saying that the opposing players should just give her a clear path to the basket? And not defend the whyt girl? Man put the pipe down. smfh
🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾 him and Gil saying that stupid stuff
She wasn’t speaking on what he’s done for getting women on his show she specifically said with his platform he could have been doing more to highlight the (WNBA) 3 years ago if he wanted. It’s laughable that this man thinks he is beyond reproach. Her comments had nothing to do with the advancement of women he allows to get shine on First Take. What a cry baby, seeing some one not afraid to drag him to the carpet and not kiss the ring was priceless.
Yea I bet she wouldn't try to drag skip tho or any other white analyst
I bet she'd take her opportunity on platform she's given to do it period.
@dkings6412 big facts... Stephen trying to make himself look good with this political spin to what she didn't say.
No one wanted to watch the wnba until CC.
If he covered it 3 years ago ratings would’ve been in the trash and it’s ESPN they not hearing nothing that’s not making them money and boosting ratings her argument is invalid
It was only a debate so don't try to get her fired
Fire her bigoted double talking asz
Nah she gone. Debates don't get personal and petty like that. She needs to grow up
@@lee01390she did nothing wrong only spoke facts and they couldn't handle it 💯
@@DogDongDotComnah she was right and spoke nothing but facts
She didn't make anything personal though tf u talking about
I’m not even upset with Chennedy or the players treating CaitIin Clark. I blame the WNBA Commissioner, Refs & Team owners. Do y’all want me to watch your games or not? It’s that simple. If Clark is not playing I have no issue not watching. We got NBAFinals then it all NFL mode. 🤷🏾♂️
He ran max kellerman out of town. No wonder the content sucks. If Stephen A. is in charge; that explains a lot of why the show is not watchable anymore
She said you didnt highlight the WNBA, not set a platform for women analysts. What the hell is he talking about?
What he is highlighting is that he gave women the opportunity and platform to speak about the WNBA. She was just wrong and ungrateful.
Cap
He didn’t tho tf
Women don't care about the WNBA!!!!! The NBA is their sugar daddy!!!!
It's clear that you missed the point entirely......is it me, or are we going through some sort of comprehension epidemic?
People must have forgotten that he has been talking about the W over the last few years and even had his celebrity games captain by A'ja Wilson's
SOMETIMES, DAMN THE COMMERCIAL BREAK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been watching SAS since his Comcast days in Philly. That said I did not like the way he handled the Kyrie situation but as of late although he hasn’t apologized he has admitted/owned up to his wrongdoing in the matter. I just subscribed to this channel. I like this SAS, this the one I remember growing up in Philly. This is a more raw/uncut/authentic version of SAS and I’m here for it. Glad he & Kyrie attempted to patch things up. We need more unity amongst us!
Understand that this is her opinion and we can always do more, no matter what it is we do in life. It’s ok to accept constructive criticism.
In the words of the great Bill Burr "say it! They're just not that good." The Kardashians have a higher TV rating than the WNBA.
I wonder why?
How you gonna mess up the GOAT's quote?
😅😅😅
You are trying to change the narrative. She's specifically talking about the WNBA, not female sports analyst
Exactly; or DIVERSITY...😮🤫🤔
SMOKE-SCREEN/DISTRACTION👀
He addressed it... keep watching before commenting.....first take have conversations in the past 3 yesrs about the wnba....stupid
And he literally talked about First Take's coverage of the WNBA over the years - listen to it again, but don't use your selective hearing this time
💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
whole heartedly agree with Monica McNutt. Stephen A is full of it - most days. Honestly, I try NOT to watch when he's on and I didn't even watch this video. Just because it comes out of his mouth in an animated way, means nothing.
So Monica was right , you weren’t talking about it 3 years ago. He Stephen A goes throwing out irrelevance about how he filled his staff on first take has nothing to do with what Monica was talking about
The fact still remains that Firsg Take has talked about the WNBA more than any other sports show on TV
And Shay was also right when he completely nullified Monica's argument by pointing out nobody was talking about the WNBA 3 yrs ago. This sense of entitlement from the WNBA players is ridiculous
He was making a point about First Take spearheading the uplifting of diversity, media-wise. It seemed like he was deflecting from her initial allegation, but he wasn’t
You are right SAS, nobody was paying attention to the W. Monica was saying she thinks that with your influence you could have helped with that before the CC and AR controversy came along.
She spoke facts and his feelings got hurt. Dude head is to big
I don’t agree with Stephen A Smith often but on this topic i totally agree with
Same lol
Finally, someone other than J. Williams stood up to you and didn't back down.
Baseless comment, Cleary you haven't been listening to Firsttake for over a decade,
JJ Redick is another guy that didn't back down as well.
I’m not sure anyone had much interest in the wnba 3 years ago.
He's always in his feelings. Pompous, rude and disrespectful. Monica was correct and Im glad Shannon later gave her his platform to continue the conversation.
He might be corny, but he’s 💯 percent correct!!!
If I recall correctly, if it wasn’t for Larry Bird and Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson, the NBA wouldn’t have thrived in that period. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese can do the same for the WNBA! Personally, l loved to watch both of them play!
Glad you said this people can’t see it but that’s what I see in Caitlin Clark and Reese Larry bird and magic all over again. Bird came in the superstar from French lick Indiana and magic from Lansing mi they were intertwined for the duration of their careers!!! They saved the NBA fierce rivals but one thing they had that I don’t see from Reese towards Clark is respect!! They wanted to beat each other in all things but they respected each other
Why can't people see this, I thought about this last year, this is the emergence of WNBA being push in like Larry and Magic did!
@ephraimlowe7780 now I imagine media coverage was all about their games and how great they were. Remember the Laker won the chip that year & the Celtics won 60 games.
And SAS looks crazy here. Dude is not talking about the points made from 1st Take. And to make it even funnier, Monica went on club NighCap to have a great convo with Shannon & Ocho. My guy looks silly here
Yes. I was attending Indiana State University when Bird got there. When I saw him play, I called my boys from home and told them about this white dude balling. Bird put ISU, Terre Haute, hell even French Lick Indiana on the map! Bird and his boys would come to the rec center and run everybody off the court!!! I’m from Gary Indiana and there was this one particular basketball court where guys all over Northwest Indiana would come and play! Like Ruckers’ in New York! It didn’t matter if you were black, white or a martian, if you could ball that was the only thing that mattered! Yes, that how much respect we had for the hoopers back in my day. I believe Caitlin will be alright. If you are a fearless competitor and love the game, you will get that respect! Peace y’all!!
And guess what...people like to do their revisionist history as if Magic was held as highly as Larry Bird at that time, but Larry was regarded as superstar without equal in the NBA by white America! They would say the NBA is 75% black, but a white man is the best player in the league! Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman even spoke out against the preferential treatment and highlighting of Larry Bird above other great players at the time. Caitlin and Angel can't escape the racial tension, it's followed them from NCAA to the WNBA
She didn’t say First Take could do more she said Stephen A could do more the past 3 years on his own show, the SAS Show..
Monica was saying you didn’t support the WNBA like you do today and you said that yourself kinda Steve
This whole video was a sub towards Monica McNutt
Did they forget that Angel Reese also took a cheap shot from a player for the Connecticut Sun, and she was also thrown out of the game. You did not hear Reese complaining nor did you hear the media cover her taking the cheap shot as much as they are covering Caithlin Clark's cheap shot taken from Chennedy Carter and others. Reese took it like a champ and realized that this is just the business of being a rookie and did not take it personal. She proved that after the game at her press conference when she refused to say anything negative about Alyssa Thomas. In fact, she thanked her for welcoming her to the WNBA. I just believe that the veteran players are trying to send a message to some of these high-profile rookies. However, I do believe that Caithlin Clark and Angel Reese will be the (2) women who brings forth positive change in revenue and endorsements to the league as long as the media does not mess things up. Lastly, I do agree with M. Barnes that Clarks teammates should have been there for her regardless of how they may feel about her because some of them have resentment towards her too. Guess what, Reese's teammates should have had her back too after Thomas clothesline the hell out of her too. However, they all understood the process of high-profile rookies having to earn their respect in the league. This is nothing new. I do not think it is a black or white thing, I just believe that because of both of them being as popular as they are coming into the league, players are going to take their shots at them, especially Cathlin Clark.
they didn't forget.... they just don't care. They want to focus on their belief that CC is being mistreated.
Clearly a white and black thing and also a straight and lesbian thing too💯
@@jjlewis617 Very true.... This is America, they make everything about race.
THESE ARE NOT ANY ROOKIES- THEY ARE NIL LEGENDS- (NAME IMAGE LIKENESS) these woman were blessed to be the group that got this HUGE benefit. MOST OF THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BASKETBALL PER SAY- ITS ABOUT THE NEW RULES.
All the National Media talked about the Cheap shot on Angel Reese. They all condemned it. All you have to do is search and you will see for yourself.
What makes Steven A. Compelling is he is able to paint a picture... of almost anything. Respected , concise, articulate and most of all accurate, and Always Very well researched!!!! Keep up the good work !!!!😂
The goal post has not only been moved it has been tossed into the stratosphere 😂 wtf does this have to do with what Monica said 🤨
Been waiting all day for this….
You new Steven A ..was going to say something on his show. To get clicks!!!!
Stephen, I want to point out that the 3rd tech call should be nullified. The League should check what happened before the argument/confrontation between CC & the storm player. This player on the way to their court, clearly hit CC on the chest or neck with her forearm. Of course, CC had to react, but poor officiating caused all these issues. The ref's need to be reviewed and fined or suspended if necessary.
She didn’t disrespect you. She was 1000% on point. She basically saying you didn’t cover woman’s basketball with so much enthusiasm until Catlin Clark. She said very professionally, you was hurt but she was on point
No major sports network covered the WNBA before CC. You know why? Because no one gives a crap about that dumpster fire of a league.
Who cared about wnba before caitlin? Why would sas talk about something no one is watching?
That's her point she saying if you wasn't talking about it 3 yrs ago why have a take on it now. And none of their takes been about basketball lol
@fslizzle6010 Because WNBA needs more than just Caitlin Clark. They need TV shows talking about them too. Because the way she getting beat up right now, its onky a matter of time before Clark sits out a game from soreness or whatever the reason and nobody will care about the wnba once again.
No one cares about the wnba 3yrs ago
Amen to that.
That actually made his point even though she was cowardly trying to change the subject.
Stephen A and Shannon both looked like Samuel L Jackson’s character in Django Unchained today.
Tf are you talking about?
Super FACTS 😂😂😂😂
*everyday
😂😂😂😂
Team McNutt stop being sensitive SAS
SAS I value your opinion on this. I do believe in this case two people can be right. M&M is also right. You continued to reference how many ladies you have contributed to us now knowing and seeing on TV. M&M's comment was not about that. Her comment was directed towards YOU and you having a platform where you could have done more to bring exposure to the WNBA. Had you perhaps given more time to the WNBA on your show perhaps that might have helped to also bring light to the league is what I believe M&M is saying. I do believe you have helped many women by bringing them to FirstTake, but that was not M&M's point on your show.
