Monica McNutt joined Nightcap to explain her WNBA rant from ESPN’s First Take where she stunned and silenced Stephen A. Smith.

On Monday, June 3, Monica McNutt joined ESPN First Take and with one rant etched herself into the history of the WNBA’s growth story.

During her segment on the show, she put a muzzle on Stephen A. Smith like many longtime fans of the WNBA want to do to the newer viewers. People new to the WNBA have given insane takes on the way Caitlin Clark has been treated and forget the WNBA is a physical sport like every sport.

According to Sports Illustrated, McNutt refused to let Stephen A. Smith rewrite history on his WNBA coverage in real time.

“Who talks about the WNBA, who talks about women’s sports more than First Take,” asked Stephen A.“Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform you could’ve been doing this three years ago if you wanted to,” replied McNutt.

A very rattled Stephen A. questioned who covered the WNBA more than First Take and ESPN and McNutt doubled down and addressed the host directly.

“Stephen A., I’m talking to you. Don’t do that. I’m talking to you about the power than you have,” McNutt responded. “OK, OK. I got it. You’re my girl, but you missed a lot episodes of First Take. You missed a lot.” SAS said doubling down. “Stephen A., three years ago you would not talk about the WNBA at this level. Don’t do that.” McNutt said challenging SAS.

Moderator Molly Qerim quickly sprung into action to change the subject before tensions flared past an acceptable level. However, Stephen A. Smith wasn’t done and took to his platform on YouTube to respond. According to the NYPost, SAS even went as far as to take credit for our hearing of Monica.

“To address Monica McNutt’s point, I found it very unfortunate that she would say that,” Smith started off. “Ladies and gentlemen, I am the executive producer of First Take. You ever heard of Monica McNutt? You have now. Because she’s on First Take a lot. Chiney Ogwumike, absolutely wonderful, spectacular basketball analyst. … ask her how it’s been to be on First Take. How about Andraya Carter? Who’s a rising star in this business. How much do you think First Take helped that? What about Kimberley Martin? What about Molly Qerim herself?”

McNutt joined Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocino’s Nightcap to give her side of the situation and made very valid points. McNutt argued any rookie with a shoe deal before playing a professional game is going to face obstacles and jealousy from their peers. She even expressed “we can hold more than on truth” explaining several things can be right in the discourse.

“I think in Caitlin’s debut or since she made her debut, there’s been a large and loud clamor or push, yes, that it’s been Caitlin versus the W(WNBA). And that is unfair to me. Jealous? Yeah, sure. Wouldn’t you be jealous of somebody who got $28 million, a shoe deal, or whatever the deal is, before you step foot in the Pros?” said McNutt.

Monica also pointed out LeBron James faced the same behavior and let’s be honest no one called for rules to be changed or softer play.
