Terrell Owens and Kwame Brown criticize Stephen A. Smith, with Owens famously telling Smith that Max Kellerman seems "blacker" than him during a debate about Colin Kaepernick. Kwame Brown labels Smith and his colleagues the "go along to get along gang," accusing them of serving elite interests rather than the community. Smith eventually confirms he wanted Kellerman off "First Take" because their partnership had stalled after years of these ideological clashes.
Former NFL player Terrell Owens appeared on "First Take" and told Stephen A. Smith that his white co-host, Max Kellerman, seemed "blacker" than him due to Kellerman's progressive stance on Kaepernick. Kellerman responded by discussing his Jewish secular background and the Passover tradition of identifying with the oppressed. The exchange highlighted the internal tensions regarding racial authenticity and political alignment within sports media.
