I feel you but if he can finally have the dignity now to speak out, he could of done it a long time. I'm not going to give him pass now. Look if Stephen is going to finally change, then good but there is no way your going to act like his statements haven't been harmful over the years on First Take at times. So if he did it for money, it's still wrong. The fact he did this now only exposing him further because he could of done this long ago. Again I have to see more videos because even yesterday he was talking that "Black on Black Crime" stuff. This was the first video in years that I actually agreed with him about Atheletes having a political voice and not caring about the money. That's what this is about overall. realizing your people's struggle is more important than a check.
that's the thing: i dont think it's him finally having the dignity to speak out, he just broke character...i think the persona he puts out there while on tv is an act/character....a character he created once he got fired from espn the first time....before he got fired, he was known as the the brotha that was 'too black' for most whites cause he was always calling them out on their bullshyt....when espn fired him, that's when he started going with this character that got him checks....it got him work on fox, cnn, msnbc, and eventually back on espn....the difference in how he talked on tv before and after the firing is clear....i'm not saying it's right, was just pointing out that he was been down for us before and wasnt always like this....
also, i agree....i do think it's times when you have to realize things are more important than a check, but that's easier said than done...as we see from people everyday....as for sas, i think that's why he broke character while speaking about cam....it seems others are using him for a mouthpiece instead of saying their own thoughts themselves....
