Thank you Max Kellerman, love your truth and integrity ❤🇺🇸

[@derrickstone4030]

Max is too real for tv. This man needs to run for some form of office. This is the type of person we need to move our country forward. He’s intelligent, rather objective, and he calls out bs when he sees it. He got my vote 🫡

[@LuisR3yes]

Max Kellerman is a logical, down to earth person. Steven A. Smith on the other hand, is loud and obnoxious. They laid off the wrong guy.

[@hawkname1234]

Kellerman is, and has always been, a real one.

[@ericjohnson8326]

I miss Max Kellerman. Why is he not on TV ? He a voice that needs to be heard Steven A. Was wrong to get rid of him. I hope he gets back on TV ASAP.

[@macksims4911]

In my opinion Stephen A Smith has always been jealous of Max Kellerman. Max was a star on the rise. His opinions on social issues were always on point, especially when it came to race, which you would think Stephen (a black man) would be more understanding. Max would embarrass him daily effortlessly. Bottom line is Max deserves his own show!!!👍🏽💯👌🏽✌🏽

[@edsimon6367]

Absofreakinlutely! The very first show, Max debated circles around SAS so after a while they started attacking Max like he didn't know what he was talking about, esp B-ball. Then all of Max's "asi-ten" predictions came true. Go figure SAS...

Good to see Max out there dropping truth bombs. Always loved him as a boxing commentator and good to see he's not putting up with the GOPs neo-fascist bs.

[@luisito1273]

Max Kellerman is my favorite sports analyst. Real, super smart, fair. 👏 He needs to start his own show. We will watch. 🙌

[@AndyPepRock]

I used to be a huge boxing fan but haven't watched that much in the last 5 years. Max was always one of the most insightful commentators on the sport and to now see him being as insightful on political and cultural matters doesn't surprise me. What a guy!

Excellent commentary. Kellerman needs to be heard on all major media outlets. Unfortunately, truth is complex which makes it inaccessible to most people on the right no matter how clearly it is communicated.

If we can created a news network with Max Kellerman, Mehdi Hassan, Roland Martin, etc. it would be an instant hit with good backing.

[@saulshine1969]

It's a shame that Max was fired from first take because he was the most intelligent person on the panel. Then thinking about it, that's probably why Stephen A Smith had a problem with him. SAS always has to be the smartest person in the room.

[@MasterSpade]

Max Kellerman was SO much better than Stephen A. Smith. Max backed up what he said with Facts! Guess people don't like Facts... They need to bring Max back!!! BTW, are there any non-trolls out there that actually preferred SAS over Max??

[@NeilLewis77]

ok heres the thing. they can let max talk for 10 minutes and he says clever things and people nod and agree and move on. or. they can let SAS blab something crazy with passion for 60 seconds, clip it, post it, it goes viral, it gets hits, it gets likes, it generates interest, players might tweet about it. in the end it generates income. im a soccer fan from england and all our best smartest pundits are doing podcasts while the actually pundits on the games are the loudest most stupid guys who go on rants that go viral. all sports channels are doing this now. out with proper sports anylsis. in with whatever generates the most clicks.

[@waynela3485]

Max Kellerman was the best and brightest voice on the radio or TV. Stephen A wanted him gone because he made Stephen A look like a chump who didn't know anything.

[@chadsoltys4127]

I have always appreciated Max's insight into sports and politics. He is very honest, opinionated and knowledgeable about everything he speaks out about. He truly should start his own talk show because I miss his commentary and commitment to the TRUTH.....maybe he should just get into politics, he's already got my vote.

Max is such a decent humane thoughtful guy. It's weird that those attributes are considered extraordinarily in media today, but it is the gods honest truth. Separate from his all around solid character, he's insightful, analytical and impactful in his delivery. With so many cowardly topic avoiders, who just call things "controversial" or "interesting" and then quickly change the subject, i always appreciate his perspective.

[@Wildcat221]

Max was clearly intellectually superior to Stephen a smith. He couldn’t take it just like trump can’t handle it when someone is smarter than him(most people). Max is a legend for what he said and how much courage he had to go against the norm.

[@Mr.T-j6n]

Facts!!!

[@ReadMoreSayLess]

Max did NOT appreciate what TO ignorantly said. Look at his face in that moment. Pure heart, love, and sincerity. And he knew not to speak but to listen to SAS educate TO. In a world where everyone just runs their mouth trying to prove how smart they are...good to see this type of reaction. This is one of many reasons why I respect the heck out of Max. It's only a matter of time before he's back. ...somewhere with significant lights. :) Thanks for the insight #RickStrom

[@JaleelShabazz-w1d]

Terrell Owens was absolutely correct when he told SAS that Max Kellerman was "blacker" than him (Conscious wise). Kellerman fully understood Collen Kaepernick reason and choice of protest against police brutality and racist homicides against black people. SAS chose to disect Kaepernick's protest because it went against what he would have done. What SAS failed to realize is he could've never been able to do what Kap did because he's and never come close to being a professional athlete and have that same platform. Not that he ever would have to begin with‼️

I've reiterated this countless times, and I'll reiterate it once more: Max Kellerman has consistently been a true ally. On the other hand, Stephen A. Smith tends to straddle the fence. This is evident in his frequent appearances on Fox shows, where he repeatedly attempts to persuade us about Jerry Jones being a "great guy" and insists that Will Cain didn't mean what he said as an ESPN analyst. Interestingly, now, where does Will Cain find employment?

I loved the mind set of Max. He never sold out, his words were always powerful. As a Black man I agree with Owen. Steven Smith will throw you under the bus. Anytime he feels that you are getting more light than him. It's always the kiss of death, when he calls someone my brother. I love sports but ESPN has become very nauseous. Pushing their gambling agenda down our throat. We just want to tune in and learn about sports not gossip not gambling. And obviously you don't have to be black to be a brother.
