ESPN’s Stephen A Smith went on TV today to discuss Hulk Hogan’s use of the N-word over the weekend. After his segment was over, Stephen A. posed this question on Twitter.

Things did not go well for Stephen A as Twitter users were quick to remind him of his own controversial past.
@stephenasmith @HulkHogan "Women need to stop provoking their abusers" was worse.

@stephenasmith so if I get this straight, you're chatting up Hogan and Riley, but mum on former colleague Cowherd? Weak. Find your backbone

@stephenasmith yours. at any time, on anything.

What Hulk Hogan said last week was terrible, but Stephen A Smith can’t really take the moral high ground and criticize others when he’s said things that are just as egregious.
