Stephen A. Smith has spent decades making a living by delivering criticism at maximum volume. Former NFL running back Marcus "Doc" Holliday thinks receiving it can be less comfortable.
Holliday reacted Sunday after the National **** ociation of Black Journalists gave Smith its 2026 "Thumbs Down" award. The organization criticized what it called a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary about prominent Black women, prompting Smith to promise a response.
"I see a lot of people have been talking about the National **** ociation of Black Journalists giving a thumbs down to Stephen A. Smith," Holliday said in a video heposted Sunday.
Holliday said the criticism matched concerns he has voiced about Smith for years, arguing that Smith treats Black public figures more harshly than others.
"That's the route he chose to take," Holliday said. "That's the hill he chooses to stand on."
