ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith has become, arguably, the biggest name in sports media. The co-host of First Take is probably the face of today’s ESPN. When the network wants to bring out one of its stars to discuss something major, it’s usually him.
Smith is polarizing, obviously. He has many fans and many haters. There likely isn’t a better example of this makeup than social media, where Stephen A. often receives a lot of love and a lot of vitriol.
It was all love for Stephen A. on Saturday, though.
The ESPN personality shared some tough personal news.:
