Stephen A. Smith tore into Colin Kaerpernick Saturday evening in a nearly three-minute rant. The First Take co-host posted a video on Twitter criticizing the free agent quarterback for his handling of an NFL-arranged workout session earlier in the day.
Shortly before the session was scheduled to start at the Atlanta Falcons training complex in Flowery Branch, Georgia, Kaepernick’s reps announced it had been moved to a high school field about 60 miles away in Riverdale.
They said the change was made to allow the media to cover the session, which the league had closed to journalists at the Falcons facility.
Smith suggested the switch was a stunt by Kaepernick and his reps.
“Twenty five teams show up in Georgia at the Atlanta Falcons practice facility — state of the art facility, NFL personnel, equipment, video, everything, and what does Colin Kaepernick do,” Smith said, “Colin Kaepernick wants to change the venue.
