What Stephen A Smith did today on First Take on ESPN was absolutely despicable, gutless, and straight up BS in belittling Lane Johnson in his decision to retire to prioritize his mental health. This was disgraceful on so many levels in which you did more irreparable harm for people... battling mental health issues behind closed doors that you and I don’t even know about. If you are someone or know someone who is struggling with mental health issues, please lend a hand. Be a resource for support, call 988, be a reason why someone decides to keep pushing forward in life.show more

@stephenasmith Preach!!! Very proud of Mr Johnson's courage!!! As someone who battled deep depression and suicidal tendencies, it was HARD to reach out. Someone reached out to me. So kudos Mr Johnson. And thank you, Mr Wrights for sharing this. ♥️💪🙌🙏

@stephenasmith You’re welcome ❤️ I’m not taking credit at all. I understand on so many levels mainly my own battles with anxiety for many years now. I can’t imagine what you went through but I am happy and proud of the fact you did get help and that you’re still here 🙏🏽🙌🏾

@stephenasmith I’m so disgusted but also sadly not surprised by what he said. And then people wonder why more people, especially men, don’t speak up about their struggles.

@stephenasmith Amen. As many people as possible need to call him out about this.

@stephenasmith It won’t matter to SAS until white people make it a problem. As long as it’s us criticizing him, he could not care less.

@stephenasmith ESPN should terminate Stephen A Smith , if that were one of his friends he wouldn’t be talking like that !! Right if LeBron , Brunson etc decided to retire for mental health issues it would be ok !! SAS you are a clown and loser!!ESPN have a backbone !!

@stephenasmith Stephen A. Smith is a despicable excuse of a human being. He tried to basically say that Lane retired because of the state that the Philadelphia Eagles are in. What Stephen A. Failed to mention is that Lane’s Mom has cancer and his Father is very sick. Shame on Stephen A..

@stephenasmith Sir you are a real one!!! Thank you my brother 💯🫡

@stephenasmith I agree with you..SAS was disrespectful. SAS is diabolical. Nothing good comes from him. He isn’t worth the time and energy

@stephenasmith Great post. THANKS!

@stephenasmith Thing about it, he's been this person and either people ignored him or encouraged him. With narcissist like Screaming A, you have to put him in his place at the first instance or it becomes a slippery slope.

@stephenasmith He's a crap ass person both of Lane Johnson's parents are sick plus he's got 14 seasons &he's fought thru more pain physical and mental than SAS ever has he's was saying he's had mental health issues but then says that he's a garbage human everything he does is to enrich himself

@stephenasmith Love this video man. I've been open about my mental health struggles since I was a teen (im almost 40) . Much love

@stephenasmith Lindros hat! Spectrum shirt. Legendary!!

@stephenasmith Yall some Cry babies he apologized & he not getting fired

@stephenasmith Any thoughts about if SAS should get suspended for a day or more from ESPN? Whatever the family dynamics situation, I don't want to hear any apologies or sympathy later.

@stephenasmith Your move @espn, make an example of this pile of shit @stephenasmith

@stephenasmith People need to stop watching that trash network. Stephen A Shit is the most full of shit blowhard that never played a sport know nothing fuck. Like Russo he tells and Carrie’s on and all it shows is his stupidity. People watching him are idiots

@stephenasmith Yessir. Thank you. 🙏

@stephenasmith Get stephan about of there

@stephenasmith Amen! So well said!

@stephenasmith Amen sir

@stephenasmith He apologized already like he always does . Say something stupid than say sorry and get no punishment

@stephenasmith Steven A knows he made a mistake and Lane Johnson knows he's in a good place cuz he's going to go get healthy

@stephenasmith I lost my 22 yo son in 2019 who wrote “ he couldn’t open up and he didn’t know why”. Suicide is second leading cause of death for ages 10-34. Why is it surprising that a MH decline would affect an athlete’s ability to perform? Let’s support; not mock. 💙💜

@stephenasmith Right On! ✊🏿

@stephenasmith Nigga fuck lane johnson he quit on the team and stephen a was using him to make fun of the eagles not his family fuck up

@stephenasmith Fire Smith

@stephenasmith Lane cheats #peds

@stephenasmith Where was the outrage for Vontae Davis. They was making fun of him when he retired mid game, the hard knocks scenes

@stephenasmith agreed
