ESPN presenter Stephen A. Smith defends the comments he made after the surprise appearance of Serena Williams in the Super Bowl's part -time show.
Williams made a surprise appearance in Kendrick Lamar's performance, dancing during the song Drake Diss 'Not Like Us'. The participation of the 42 -year -old was significant because she went out with Drake in 2011.
That led Smith to wonder why the tennis icon would be 'up there trrolleting your ex' and that 'if I am married and my wife will join Trolleando to his ex, return to his butt, because clearly you do not do it belong to me .
Smith received a great reaction for this comment, not only on social networks, but on other television programs such as The View.
The former ESPN expert responded to a comment on social networks, who said: “A 57 -year -old single man with a line line that has never been married, saying that he would divorce our greatest living athlete”
Smith Quote tweeted him and said: 'Return and look exactly what I said. In general, he was talking from the perspective of a man, highlighting what most men would think.

Smith questioned why Williams wanted to return to a former is now married to Alexis Ohanian
'I did not pronounce a single disrespectful word over Serena. There are no problems with people who get angry with the serious serious things about which one is angry. This does not qualify Peeps. Come on. We were joking on @firsttake. Damn! It is not so serious.
In the first shot, his partner analyst Ryan Clark defended Williams, saying: “If you are with Serena Williams, you will be a man saved anyway.”
Williams is married to the founder of Reddit Alexis Ohanian, who has an estimated value of $ 150 million. They have two daughters together.
Despite Smith's comments, Williams seemed to be drawing attention to his performance on Monday, sharing multiple videos on Instagram of his dance.
Moments before the part -time show, Williams turned to X to defend Taylor Swift after the singer was booed by Caesars Superdome fans when he appeared in the Jumbotron for the first time during the Super Bowl.
'I love you Taylor Swift, don't listen to those booo !!' Williams wrote.
Swift did not have so much reason to celebrate the night, with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City bosses were defeated 40-22 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
He left Kansas City's hopes of a three -ruin peat and Kelce must now decide if he continues to play in the NFL.
Regardless of the decision in which it is resolved, the 35 -year -old closed wing is expected to announce it before the start of the free agency on March 12.
