Keith Olbermann offered ESPN an ultimatum: silence Stephen A. Smith or fire him.
Olbermann uploaded a video detailing his orders Monday, including a meandering 393-word caption. In short, he called upon ESPN to take immediate action after Smith appeared on Fox News last week.
"WHY ESPN MUST EITHER SILENCE OR FIRE STEPHEN A. SMITH: Its longstanding policy - no, you can't be a sportscaster on one station and an advocate for a presidential candidate on another station - is right. I know: I helped to author it because the day when you (or I) could straddle both worlds is long gone," started Olbermann.
For background, Sean Hannity asked Smith about polls demonstrating the growing support for Trump among black voters. Smith attributed the trend to black Americans relating to how the law has been weaponized against the former president.
"By Donald Trump’s statement weeks ago, talking about how he’s hearing that black folks find him relatable, because what he’s going through is similar to what black Americans have gone through. He wasn’t lying," Smith told Sean Hannity.
"He was telling the truth. When you see the law enforcement, the court system, and everything else being exercised against him, it is something that black folks, throughout this nation, can relate to."

Had to look see if this was The Bee...................NOPE...............
Worst online “personality” ever!
At this point Olberman is just a troll farming for clicks.
The only thing Oberdork straddles is a toilet at an I-95 rest stop.............
This is pretty smart by Smith.
Keith, it’s a little late for April Fools.
Oh, you’re not joking!
Pathetic.
No doubt Keith O. still can’t figure out why no established network will hire him, not even on a ‘freelance’ basis.
“Don’t they know who I am?!!”
Absolutely, Keith Olbermann should be able to control all black people - what they can say and think.
I never used to be this angry about politics, but the Democrats are making me this way. Are they DELIBERATELY trying to start a civil war? The ONLY solution remaining for many of them are treason trials and public hangings and I mean every word of it. This stuff has got to stop or someone has to pay. You can not treat people like that and hope for peace.
Keith Olbermann is the worst person in the world and should be fired and kicked off all social media for not attacking Joe Biden
My thoughts exactly.
Oh noes can’t have someone who disagree with Keith overbite seriously what did Laura ingraham see in him anyway he’s nuts by the way heard that screamin a smith already bent over and apologized for defending trump
Um, they started that war on numerous fronts some time back. The stupid party just hasn't figured it out yet.
When did he get released from the happy farm pull from CNN?.
I saw the interview with Hannity and did not get the impression that Smith is pro-Trump or planning to vote for him. He was just trying to explain attitudes held about Trump by other black people.
Chicks.
Keith is still alive? I haven’t thought of him in ages...and still not thinking of him... 🤓
Who the f**k does Keith Olberman think he is that he can call on commercial enterprises to fire certain employees?!
