Stephen A. Smith calls out WNBA reporters with a ‘very unpopular’ take

During a recent broadcast on SiriusXM, Stephen A. Smith shared an unpopular opinion regarding how journalists handle media availability in women professional basketball. He contended that media members avoid tackling sensitive topics and urged them to pose tougher, more direct inquiries to athletes.

Smith pointed to remarks made by Kelsey Mitchell regarding discomfort with segments of the fan base, as well as Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark, arguing that these matters demand deeper journalistic inquiry. He also directed criticism toward WNBA leadership, including departing Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, for how officials manage controversies.
