Following his statement about domestic abuse, a statement that spawned controversy nationwide, ESPN formally took steps to distance itself from Smith… at least for one week.
The company announced Smith’s suspension on Tuesday saying, “Stephen A. Smith will not appear on First Take or ESPN Radio for the next week. He will return to ESPN next Wednesday.”
Smith formally issued an apology on Monday for his comments insinuating that women provoke their abuse, and should do their part not to get hit.
