As an avid sports fan, my enjoyment and appreciation of media coverage surrounding the NBA are dampened due to the persistent and insistent national broadcasting presence of one individual - Stephen A. Smith. It is a sentiment felt by many. The aggressive demeanor and polarizing opinions of Stephen A. Smith often overshadow rational discussions about the game of basketball, leading to a deteriorated viewership experience (Nielsen Ratings, 2020). With a platform as large as national television, this is unacceptable. It is paramount that broadcasts associated with the NBA prioritize balanced, fair, and dynamic discourse that promotes the beauty and intricacies of the game, rather than undermining them. We propose a change - to remove Stephen A. Smith from national television. By doing so, we believe that the NBA viewership experience can be enhanced, discussions around basketball will be more productive and ultimately the overall quality of the NBA media landscape will improve.
