"Stephen A. Smith Defends Megyn Kelly Over Black National Anthem Criticism at Super Bowl"

Stephen A. Smith defended Megyn Kelly against accusations of racism for criticizing the inclusion of the Black National Anthem at the Super Bowl, stating that the word "racism" is being thrown around too quickly. He believes Kelly's statement was patriotic and self-righteous, but acknowledges her detachment from the reality faced by Black Americans. However, Smith's defense comes despite Kelly's history of controversial comments on race, including her previous dismissal from NBC over remarks about blackface.
