First Take on ESPN got the week off on a contentious note when Stephen A. Smith and Monica McNutt’s coverage over the Chennedy Carter hit on Caitlin Clark spilled over into the coverage of women’s sports. The conclusion of the discussion got personal.

“Who talks about the WNBA, who talks about women’s sports more than First Take?” asked Smith.

“Stephen A., respectfully, with your platform, you could have been doing this three years ago if you wanted to.” replied McNutt.

“Wow” replied Stephen A.

And social media caught whiff of the smoke and got McNutt trending early Monday afternoon. Let’s go to some of the traffic..

Monica: you could’ve been doing this 3 years ago

Monica McNutt deserves a damn raise !!

She was being tagged team by Shannon/Stephen A. the whole show and she HELD HER GROUND.

They spent 40 minutes (!!!!!) discussing this, which is definitely the most First Take has EVER covered the W in the show’s history.

Monica McNutt may not ever be seen on First Take again. She called out Stephen A. by telling him he just recently started spotlighting the WNBA since Caitlyn Clark came into the league.
Shannon unknowingly proved her point by telling her that she is proving SAS' point.
