So, we all know by now what Ayesha Curry tweeted about the NBA being rigged. The Giant has a great running thread about it, here's a link to it

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...ng-rigged.html

So Stephen A. Smith came out and said some things to Ayesha Curry and about Ayesha Curry that are downright sexist and pretty infuriating.

Here is an excerpt of what he said:
She stepped out of line. She stepped out of pocket. I’m trying to sound as appropriate as I possibly can. You are the wife of Steph Curry. What you do is a reflection on him. What you do is a reflection on the organization he works for. You have to be mindful of that. You can’t get caught up in your own individual emotions and having this zest to speak out, to the point where it compromises your husband.

Now, lets address the overall message he is conveying, THAT WOMEN SHOULD NOT HAVE A VOICE. That her husbands career comes before her right to have a voice and to use it. He says that because she is the wife of Steph Curry, she must temper her emotions and her comments are a reflection on Steph, that she shouldn't speak out and compromise her husband. He then goes on to call her remark CLASSLESS

GO Fukk yourself you piece of shit.

He takes it one step further and gives her an example of how to act by using LeBrons's mother and wife, and tells Ayesha to sit there and stay silent and doesn't bring any attention to herself.

The bigger problem here is STEPHEN A SMITH has a pulpit and his message is that women should stay silent

Just sickening

[jjgold]

He will get fired soon
loser

Relax..

[kidcudi92]

always been a fukktard

fukktards will be fukktards

[No coincidences]

This post is why any of us even know who Stephen A. Smith is in the first place.

If he was a mild-mannered, respectful, professional journalist, he'd be a nobody working for $30 grand a year in BFE.

Instead, he says incendiary shit all the time, fans get riled up, it gets ratings, and he gets paid.

[ACoochy]

Agree

He handled that in completely the wrong way but damn Steph looks like a ball-less freak now not being able to come to a compromise with his other half to even prevent this from happening...

[The Kraken]

Relax..

Spoken like a man

The problem is he has a pulpit and he is promoting what a womans place is, from a mans perspective

He's telling her to sit courtside and to shut up, put her mans career first

Fukk that, you don't get to propagate sexism and not get called out on it. Just because it's how he gets paid does not make it alright.

[sweethook]

he was born a ass

[The Kraken]

I know he's an ass, I've followed sports long enough to know his standing in the bigger picture

But this is an ongoing problem in society, it's bigger than Stephen A, it just happens he's a sports commentator and this is a sports forum

So forget that he's an ass and look at the bigger problem here, that he's just saying what many guys are thinking

You should go talk with plommer haha

I haven't chatted with Plommaaaaaaay in many a years, what are his thoughts? Does he have a thread somewhere?

Maybe some guys see certain elements of feminism as having gotten to the stage where females are wanting superiority and not just equality over their male counterparts...

Just saying...

[Ghenghis Kahn]

kraken, didn't realize you were such a feminist.

I can't personally speak for the guy but if I had to fashion a guess I'd say you two would be distant in opinion and views on this issue...

[smitch124]

Women should have a voice, not sure whining about ref calls in the NBA is what needs to be heard.

[MickeyMan]

Kraken are you bipolar?

[gauchojake]

At least LeBron's mom lets her pussy do the talking

100% a feminist as I support feminism unequivocally

Well, I can't say I'm surprised. If I remember correctly, most of his encounters with women were him paying them for sex. I suspect he probably has other issues and him choosing to that life has influenced his views on women. But look at the women he spends time with, I'm not surprised he wouldn't respect women that don't respect themselves

I could be wrong but I doubt it, maybe he'll check in and set me straight

[The Kraken]

Kraken are you bipolar?

Bipolar? Maybe

But I'm pretty consistent with it

[The Kraken]

There should be absolutely no limits put on what a woman should have the right to say, or even what a woman "should" say

It's not up to men to decide when a womans voice should be heard

[smitch124]

They can say what they want, and they can be criticized for it just like men are. Men are criticized all the time for what they say, even fired for it. See Kurt Schilling. The Women can speak, and should, why should they be free of consequences of the speech?

[The Kraken]

They can say what they want, and they can be criticized for it just like men are.

They can absolutely be criticized for the content of what they say

But they should NEVER be criticized for speaking out as a woman, the wife of a player, or have their voice dampened by their husbands public image.

Oh please, criticism can be unfair, deal with it. She hasn't been silenced, just criticized. It comes with the territory.

Spoken like a man, we know that sexism is unfair and the decades of men controlling women and dictating their lives is unfair, but just deal it. It's just unfair.

And you're correct, she hasn't been silenced, I never said she was. But that is only because she is a strong woman and will not give in. She was more than criticized Smitch, regardless of how you spin it, she was told to sit their and stay quite like Lebrons wife. She was told what her place was by a man.

I hope you understand there is no middle ground here, it's not gray, and you are wrong.

Bottom line and I don't give a fukk if you like it or not. Deal with it, bitch

[The Kraken]

Equality for women on destabilizes society as it was set up for men to succeed and put women at a competitive disadvantage.

Just because a society exists doesn't mean it exists in it's most perfect form

We have a long ways to go

This has always been a white mans world and that is rapidly changing, and white men are struggling to deal with it. We weren't raised to have feelings, so now that we do, we don't know what to do with them

[Booya711]

If Smith was white he would have already been fired...fact

[kidcudi92]

feminism is cancer

[The Kraken]

Just saying...

Oh, I'm sure most men do see it this way, but that is only because we've grown accustomed to women being in the place we put them in. ANY attempt at advancement is seen as threatening. It's not that women, or african americans, want superiority, they just want equality and they're nowhere near equality right now.
