These goals, which I support, could have been achieved by a simple demand. A demand which I never made and do not support now that it has been made. These goals express principles which I believe in strongly.

Smith doesn’t know football. He also doesn’t know boxing (which is, arguably, more irritating). I guess his “specialty” was/is basketball. I don’t know much about X’s and O’s for basketball, so I asked a friend of mine who is obsessed with basketball and knows it well “Does Stephen A. Smith, like, really know…
