Ryan Garcia racist rant/ban reaction 

Alcohol, drugs and mental illness don't make you racist. They make you tell on yourself.

Blaming his racial tirade on a loss is bullshit SAS

Alcohol and drugs don’t make you racist

Alcohol and drugs don’t turn you into a racist.

If Ryan Garcia was black, Stephen A would have a lot more to say. We all can see what is going on.

This was so weak compared to what you would usually say and do to a black athlete

So he has to be black for Malika Andrews to report on this.

I think at this point, "THEY NOT LIKE US", fully applies to SAS 😂

No , he is racist

Some Black men ALWAYS support and EXCUSE every other "RACE" but OUR own! When a person shows you who and what they really are... BELIEVE THEM 💯

There is no "Black and brown" coalition FBA family. We are on our own.

Racism has no place in this world. I never understood how someone can be racist, like it's someone's fault they were born another race. The reality is we are born on the same planet, we are the same, we all bleed red.

Stop calling him brother because that is what he is NOT!!!

SA always got an excuse for someone's anti-blackness.

respect to the WBC president for taking swift action. Crazy how there are still racist people in 2024

Being racist is not a by product of alcohol and drugs there are people called closet racist and that is what Ryan is

When someone shows you who they are, believe him. Ryan is who he is and now the world knows.......

Stephen A Smith you need to understand that ryan Garcia is racist. The alcohol just made him reveal who he truly is stop making excuses for him

I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t be this forgiving and measured if Garcia was black and made racist remarks about non blk communities.

In typical SAS fashion, he finds a way to blame a BLACK fighter(tank Davis) for GARCIA’S racist rant because “that loss embarrassed Garcia and it affected him mentally”. Then you proceed to disrespect Frank Martin and Haney. YOU ARE A DISGRACE

Wait a minute Stephen A.: why aren’t you as animated, as you were when talking about Kwame Brown, Kyrie Irving, and Will Smith???

It never ceases to amaze me how SAS soft-pedals when it comes to non-black athletes but doesn't hold back when a black athlete falters!

Stephen A. Is putting on the cape for this dude.

Things like this happen then people wanna say black people "play victim". Nawl, people just won't stop being hateful towards us

Racism has nothing to do with drugs and alcohol--stop the cap

A drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

Steven is like Gayle King they will do back flips out of a flying plane, running through fire and try to stop a speeding bullet to defend anyone other than someone black

You still found a way to excuse Ryan and call Devin ‘WEAK,’ even though he got up from every knockdown and won rounds. You called WILDER ‘STUPID’ for fighting at heavyweight against heavier fighters (which he can’t control 200+ = heavyweight) yet the reason Ryan said he’s “anti black” is because of alcohol? 😂 I would love to be on a panel with you one day.

Keep that same energy how you went at kyrie

Maybe it’s just me but… does anyone else think that Stephen A Smith is still sticking up for Ryan? Because it still sounds that way to me!

He made the mistake of saying the stuff they say behind closed doors out loud.

He is taking it easy for Ryan but had the nerve to disrespect OJ Simpson

He was more upset at. Black people simply saying RIP to OJ…😂😂😂 Stephen A 🦝. Frank Martin didn’t quit.

That mental "health card" is way colder than the "white card". Damn

Where's that OJ energy at my boy

A rakkkuun will always cover for massa's minions.

Weak take. Kwame Brown is right. Would’ve went 5x harder on a brother

Mental health is the new scapegoat

Must admit, he had me fooled as a black man...held him in high regard and supported him. not surprised though that Smith would be lowkey excusing the racism, it's on brand.😂

Stephen A and all of us knows his family didn’t write that statement!!!

Disgrace to the sport 🤦🏾‍♂️

Like Shannon Sharp said "drunks and kids" tell the truth❤❤❤

Then be hard down claiming he's a Christian. My boy....

Tank made him 💩 his pants

Frank Martin didn’t quit. Ryan did.

i cant believe Stephen A Smith is seriously tap dancing for Ryan after he said what he said. this is sickening

I AM CALLING FOR A BOYCOTT OF STEPHEN A SMITH FOR HIS DEFENSE OF RYAN GARCIA I AM CALLING FOR THE BOYCOTT TO BEGIN ON SUNDAY JULY 7 2024 AT 12 AM AND TO CONTINUE FOR 60 DAYS. THIS MEANS BOYCOTTING ESPN " FIRST TAKE" AND ANYTHING STEPHEN A SMITH APPEARS INCLUDING HIS PODCAST

"In cerveza veritas," which is Latin for, "In beer, there is truth." This phrase suggests that people are more likely to speak their true thoughts and feelings when under the influence of alcohol.

Wow that’s all you got? No yelling? And sounds like you ready to forgive him tomorrow? Dang bro we black out here😂😂😂

By product of alcohol and drugs? Look most people are racist towards Blacks. It’s a societal issue

SAS, you didn’t show Kyrie that much grace even though Kyrie didn’t say half of what Ryan said.

Steve no disrespect but quit being a houseboy what's your grandma always tell you drunk mind speaks sober thoughts quit making excuses for that boy

SAS trying to blame alcohol and drugs is a cop out.. "The only people that tell the truth: Drunks, Kids, and angry people!!" - Shannon Sharpe

If your reading this I wish everyone success.

SAS was just going on a rant about how OJ didn’t associate himself with black people.

His behavior is extremely uncomfortable to watch, want no part of it.

Same dude to try to ruin Kyrie’s career

Let me put it to you this way. If a black Muslim dude lost to a white dude. And in his return fight took peds and missed weight by four pounds, beat his white Christian opponent and then proceeded to go on a rant about k*lling white people and that he hates Christians you wouldn’t see the same reaction. And not even from another black dude in sas would you get the same reaction. I don’t care what Ryan says, I don’t even want him to apologize. I am more upset by sas and his bias against other black people. Had far more to say about Kyrie than Ryan.

Remember after he won he went on all of your shows and said he was “messing with everyone” and he wasn’t actually “crazy” now look at him… can’t believe millions of people thought he was okay…

I hope the rumors are true that Stephen is being replaced @ ESPN. The black community deserves an honest rep like Shannon. 🎉

He needs a serious history lesson. If it came out his mouth then he meant to say what he said how he said it. Period.

This is exactly how he was raised. His father made a comment that Black people has nappy hair 🤔 what are we talking bout here 🤔 No Mo Talk ✊🏾🤬

As my mother always said a drunk person speaks a sober mind PERIOD

Stop calling him brother S A S. Brother is a term of endearment, after saying what he’s said do not endear him

He’s a cheater call him out!

Stephen A did say that he thinks Ryan should be suspended indefinitely. So I give him kudos for that.

How did this turn into Devin Haney’s fault yet again?

He didn’t really make a a harsh take. He threw down Devin Haney instead.

Garcia's dad used the word "nappy head" fruit dosen't fall to far away from its tree

His career is over. Would never pay for anything with his name on it.

I will never ever watch or order a ppv fight of him again

Correct me if I’m wrong… but doesn’t alcohol strip people down to who they truly are?

This is UNACCEPTABLE!! Ryan Garcia should be ASHAMED OF HIMSELF

As a muslim im not even mad, THE GUY NEEDS HELP

If "if" were a spliff... this man aint for the people , he's for the man he works for 👎🏾👎🏾

Notice how Stephen A. went so hard on Kyrie, along with Barkley and others. But they are not going half as hard on Garcia when he actually said racist shit.

Stephen A really came out here copping pleas for Ryan 😫😩

What in the deep fried chicken is this man talking about? 😈😈

He meant those racial slurs

SAS ur full of it

You’re forgetting he was on steroids -.-

The "mental health" card ???? You kewns never quit

Family is blaming mental health. Zero accountability, just excuses 🤬

When a person is drunk or angry is when their true self is exposed.

What the hell losing to tank have to do with anti black racism?

Believe half of what u see 👁️ and none of what u hear 👂

Stephen A Smith didn’t even seem offended by what Ryan Garcia said smh 🤦‍♂️

Y’all idolize these people because of their talent and their bank accounts yet most of them have zero character… And I got bad news that still always respected

What's Mr Frank Martin got to do with this foolishness ? Mr F Martin went out on his Shield 🛡

The fact he was drunk just loosened his lips enough for him to say what he really thinks.

Drunk words=sober thoughts

The Blax who spent the last few months defending Ryan need to stay right where that at. 😂

Man this dude went Bonkers on Kyrie Irving. But he is making excuses for this Guy.?

He was tougher on Devin Haney than Ryan wow

He's not a 'brother'

Dam you went in on Kyrie but you say this 😂smh I’m unsubscribing

This is more than a byproduct of drugs and alcohol. This is learned behavior that is rooted in hatred and ignorance. He's using mental health as an excuse to say how he truly feels. The money and his ability to fight is what gives him the "courage" and "security" to act and talk reckless. He knows better and knows what he's doing.

Looks like I won’t be a Steph a smith fan any time soon.

Sadly many Latinos are like this, either privately or publicly.

He just got back from the Middle East. Keep that same energy next time youre in the ME Ryan.
