Part 1/8:
Stephen A. Smith, Shador Sanders, and the NFL Draft Conundrum
Over the weekend, Stephen A. Smith ignited a discussion surrounding Shador Sanders and his treatment by NFL owners, likening it to the scenario of Colin Kaepernick. Smith claimed that Sanders was being blackballed, asserting that owners had told their coaches and general managers explicitly not to draft him, paralleling the ill-fated circumstances that Kaepernick found himself in. While there are points within Smith's argument that ring true, the underlying motivations and implications are far more complex.
