ESPN broadcaster Stephen A Smith earns a reported $8 million per year under his current contract with ESPN. There's more..,SAS also has a "$4 million-per-year production" contract as well. The Athletic reported that Smith’s total compensation is $12 million.
Fox News Digital reports ahead of Game 1 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies on Friday, Smith and the "First Take" panel discussed the absence of U.S.-born Black players on the rosters of either team for the first time since 1950. The note was highlighted in an Associated Press piece.
"We are still Black in this country. We don’t trust this country in terms of meritocracy always. We know the bottom line is that just like women are underpaid compared to male counterparts, Blacks are underpaid compared to White counterparts," Smith said.
"And so when you look at it from that perspective, and of course people look at me, I’m not talking about me even though, I got news for you, I am underpaid compared to some people on television what they get paid, but that’s a subject for another day. I ain’t apologizing for that to a damn soul. I am underpaid. Having said all of that, it ain’t about me."
