Stephen A. Smith Recklessly Rips Colin Kaepernick For Not Voting

Posted byBy Ricky Riley | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

On the Nov. 9 edition of ESPN’s “First Take,” sports journalist Stephen A. Smith blasts San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick for not voting in Tuesday’s election.

After nearly three months of kneeling during the national anthem to call out police brutality, Kaepernick has garnered support and a whirlwind of criticism. And initially, Smith supported him.

In an interview with Eric Branch, Kaepernick told the San Francisco Chronicle reporter that he did not vote and had no plans on doing so. The QB told Branch yesterday that both candidates are not worthy of his vote. Now, Kaepernick has lost a supporter.

However, Smith does not believe that the QB should complain if he refuses to participate in the process.

“I don’t want to hear a damn word he has to say,” Smith starts.  “… He comes across as a flaming hypocrite … I’m not interested in a damn word he has to say. And quite frankly, I hope he goes away … For him not to vote … as far as I’m concerned, everything he said meant absolutely nothing!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
