ESPN's Stephen A. Smith Apologizes for Comments on MLB Star Shohei Ohtani: 'I Screwed Up'

Smith then issued an apology on Monday evening. He wrote on his social media accounts that he "screwed up," telling his followers that he never intended to offend the Asian community and, specifically, Ohtani.

"As an African-American, keenly aware of the damage stereotyping has done to many in this country, it should've elevated my sensitivities even more. Based on my words, I failed in that regard and it's on me, and me alone!" he wrote. "Ohtani is one of the brightest stars in all of sports. He is making a difference, as it pertains to inclusiveness and leadership. I should have embraced that in my comments."

damage control with his career on the line

Minority talking smack about another minority just makes no cot dayam sense. 

I'm getting a jealously vibe when he be saying stupid chit about ohtani.  Did ohtani proved himself with his rookie of the year?  With greatness, it doesn't need to follow with your typical macho macho man stereotype.  Greatness has no boundaries.  If you think you can do better then prove it with your macho self.  Just because an asian guy that needs an interpreter is doing well this year doesn't void him of that greatness title.  Black dude, you are on the wrong fool.
