Huff PostESPN Stephen A. Smith before the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Brooklyn Nets on March 23 in Memphis, Tennessee. Justin Ford via Getty Images ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith believes the media would’ve treated Tom Brady’s profane antics differently if he were a Black man. On Monday’s “First Take,” Smith gave his perspective about Brady’s tongue-lashing toward his fellow teammates on Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Pittsburgh Steelers. We would’ve been talking about the fact he might not need to act like that with the cameras rolling.” Smith said he took no issue with Brady’s actions, because if his offensive linemen weren’t blocking him, “you damn right you should get in their face.” “All I’m trying to say is that when a Black quarterback does that, I don’t want to hear nothing about it,” Smith continued. “Since nobody is saying anything about Tom Brady doing it.” Brady went on a profanity-filled rant toward his teammates on the sidelines on Sunday, after the Buccaneers were down 10-6 to the Steelers in the second quarter.
