Smith Calls Out Anthony: Why Are Activists Still Defending a Guilty Verdict?

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith questions why activists are defending former NBA player Carmelo Anthony after he was found guilty of vehicular assault in a hit-and-run incident, despite his conviction being deemed guilty by a jury and not by the state, which may have led to lighter sentencing. Smith criticizes the activism, stating that it is hypocritical considering the severity of the crime. He argues that people should condemn crimes committed by powerful figures before becoming vocal about social justice issues. The sports commentator's stance on Anthony's case has sparked a debate about double standards and the role of celebrity in shaping public discourse.
