Stephen A. Smith is throwing the race card after the Miami Dolphins fired GM Chris Grier following Thursday’s brutal 28-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
By Friday morning, the team announced it was “parting ways” with Grier.
Chairman of the Board/Managing General Partner Stephen M. Ross issued a statement saying Grier was done.
This morning, I, along with General Manager Chris Grier, have decided to mutually part ways. I have incredible respect for Chris and his family, and I want to thank them for their many contributions to the Miami Dolphins over the past 26 years.
As I assessed the team’s situation and in my discussions with Chris, it became clear to both of us that change could not wait. We have to reform – for 2025, 2026 and beyond – and it needs to start now. Champ Kelly will serve as interim General Manager, effective immediately, and we will begin the search for a new General Manager. BroBible reported.
But Stephen A. Smith did not feel there was a decision that was best for the team. It seems he sees racism, and he wonders why white Mike McDaniel wasn’t fired before black Chris Grier.
“It was about Tua. It was about Mike McDaniels. And the brother gets fired first? All I know is, I better hear Mike McDaniels’ name called today,” he said on ESPN. take first On Friday.
Smith attacked the team and said McDaniels should also be fired.
“Mike McDaniel with the glasses, giving one-word answers at the press conference, looked like a guy from Best Buy’s geek squad…That dude gets to keep his job for the rest of the season? No, that’s BS. That guy needs to go, too,” Smith said.
One commentator rightly said this about Smith, Write On
Smith has a history of throwing out the race card in his sports commentary.
For example, in August, he insisted that white sports analysts should not be allowed to comment on the actions of black players on the field during fights between players.
