ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith is an opinionated person. He does not shy away from speaking his mind on any topic. Smith has made a career for himself by giving his opinions and entertaining his audience as a TV personality. Although his opinions are mostly related to sports, he sometimes takes a detour from that and voices his thoughts on other things as well.

He recently expressed his thoughts on Texas’ new immigration bill. Texas’ governor Greg Abbott signed a law that gives the right to any of the state’s law enforcement to arrest suspected people of coming into the country illegally. The suspected individuals may face misdemeanor charges or even be forced to leave the nation.

It’s a racist-a** thing to do. Suspicion? Suspect? Suspected of entering the country illegally. How can you be suspected of entering the country illegally?

He posted the clip of the same on his X account and captioned it:

This is a disgrace. It is inhumane.

He urged DeSantis to focus on elections rather than talking about the college football playoffs. Earlier this week, DeSantis announced that he intended to set aside $1 million from the Sunshine State’s annual budget for potential legal action regarding Florida State’s exclusion from the playoffs.
