Stephen A. Smith discusses the hate on Dak Prescott

Notable sports analyst Stephen A. Smith, known for his targeted dislike of the Cowboys and Dak Prescott in particular, took to his postgame show to address the amount of hate received by Prescott in recent weeks.

Speaking on his show, he said, “I know that there have been other folks in the media at other shows and stuff like that that might cross that line. It’s something you, me, Molly, and all the contributors on this show, we make sure we never do because we’re human beings first. We make sure that we don’t roll like that.”

Netizens were quick to point out the irony in his comments, with one saying, “I wonder what made him say this. Dak has a lot of haters out there, and I’ve always believed Stephen A to be the biggest one.” Another said, “Does he ever attack anyone personally unless they go after him? Goes after their play on the field, but not sure he ever goes the personal route… could be wrong.”
