Stephen A. Smith is paid very, very well to come up with unique opinions in the sports world. Since the launch of his podcast, he’s taken that same approach when it comes to the political world, and after the ludicrous Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympics, he decided to double dip to drum up one of his most odd opinions in quite some time.
The Opening Ceremony has dominated discussions for days now after the performance featured a number of drag performers and a scene that seemed to not-so-subtly mock The Last Supper and Christians around the world.

Team USA is already into the knockout round at the 2024 Summer Games, while Australia needs either or a win or a draw to stay in contention for the quarterfinals.
Biles called out her former teammate after comments she made before the games.
Simone Biles and Team USA are champions once more. Now dubbed “The Golden Girls,” in honor of being the oldest team to win gold, they’ve earned every right to celebrate — and also drag their doubters.
That’s precisely what happened on Tuesday, when Biles took serious shot at her former teammate MyKayla Skinner after winning gold.
Let’s give Simone Biles a Gold Medal for throwing shade.
The United States’ greatest Olympic gymnast beautifully slighted former teammate MyKayla Skinner after the current Team USA women’s gymnastics team took home the Gold in the All-Around competition yesterday.
“Lack of talent, lazy, Olympic champions,” the 8x medalist posted on her Instagram alongside her 4 teammates after taking the top spot with a massive 5.8 point difference over runner up Italy.
Biles passive-aggressive comments came across perfectly for those that love a good call out after former U.S.

The New York Giants are not a tragedy, but a comedy
The New York Giants had the honor of being the first NFL team to have a Hard Knocks based on their entire offseason, and they’ve been so goofy on it that I’m not sure if any other team will do it again.
Despite the Giants being performance art, an intriguing moment came in the final episode of Hard Knocks, where they released the 2024 draft board with tags on how they viewed the players in the episode.
Olympic basketball has gotten so much better, according to Melo.
The entire world is enraptured by the Olympic Games in Paris, and so are Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala of The Point Forward Podcast. This week the hosts dived into discussing what it’s like playing basketball for Team USA, and nobody is more knowledgeable on the topic than four-time medalist Carmelo Anthony.
Among the long list of accomplishments over Anthony’s career it’s his resolute support for the United States that stands out.
Simone Biles’ competition, if you can call it that, faces a steep disadvantage mostly because Biles operates with a degree-of-difficulty head start they can’t match.
We may have well over a week left in the 2024 Olympics, but we’ve already been served the most over-the-top celebration of the Summer Games courtesy of Poland’s Aleksandra Jarecka.
While the moment turned out to be unique and legitimately historic for Team Poland, Jarecka’s emotions were unlike anything we’ve seen thus far in Paris.
Matched up with China during the team epee event with a bronze medal on the line, there was a glitch in the scoring system that handed the 28-year-old and Poland a 31-30 edge.
I think we’re well aware of how unbelievably tall San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is, but it still blows everyone’s mind when he stands next to a short dude, and that happened this week at the Olympics when Wembanyama and the French took on Japan.
Wemby is 7-foot-4, which is absurdly tall, and would look huge standing next to any normal-sized person like myself, at the very respectable “Nature’s perfect height” of 5-foot-10.
But even I would tower over 5-foot-6 Yuki Togashi, so imagine what it looks like when he’s up against Wembanyama.
GYMNASTICS SURRENDER COBRA!
It’s truly impossible to understand how it must feel to compete in Olympic gymnastics against Simone Biles. Never has a swallower of dreams and devourer of worlds come in such a small package — and her brilliance is inevitable.
Heck, even her opponents know that betting against Biles is a fool’s errand, which is exactly what happened to Great Britain on Tuesday when they were in second, celebrated making the podium too early, then realized Team USA still had a score to come in.
