Stephen A Smith fires back at Le’Veon Bell after being called ‘hater’

Le'Veon Bell

Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to getting into electronic shouting matches with professional athletes, and Le’Veon Bell just became the latest.

In his regular appearance on ESPN Tuesday morning, Smith wondered if the Steelers should use Bell as a decoy in their Week 1 game after the star running back admitted he was a “little winded” when he returned to practice following his lengthy holdout. Bell didn’t appreciate the commentary.

Smith, who has never been one to back down when getting called out, immediately fired back at Bell and accused him of being too sensitive. Bell then expressed regret that he tweeted at Smith in the first place.

It didn’t end there. Addressing the spat on social media wasn’t enough for Smith, so he spoke more about it on the air during “First Take.”

It feels like just yesterday that Smith was being ripped by LeBron James over one of the reporter’s scoops on Kyrie Irving. Again, the guy lives for this. If Bell didn’t want to get into a war of words with Smith, he’s right that he should have just ignored him to begin with.
