The network says Smith will not appear on his show “First Take” or on ESPN Radio for a week. During a discussion last week about Ray Rice’s suspension — Stephen A. said he would tell women to make sure they’re not doing anything “to provoke wrong actions” … in addition to telling men what NOT to do.
This morning on “First Take” Smith apologized — and ESPN released a statment, saying … “We will continue to have constructive dialogue on this important topic. Stephen’s comments last Friday do not reflect our company’s point of view.”
The network continued … “As his apology demonstrates, he recognizes his mistakes and has a deeper appreciation of our company values.”
Smith’s comments also infuriated fellow ESPN anchor Michelle Beadle. She’s yet to react to his suspension.
