Stephen A. Smith Drags Megyn Kelly Over Philadelphia Eagles-White House Fiasco

Smith's remarks about Kelly come after Don Lemon's remarks about the conservative personality.

After Don Lemon shared his blistering opinion of Megyn Kelly, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith has seemingly followed suit with a few choice words for the conservative host. Earlier this month, Kelly reacted to a false report about the Philadelphia Eagles refusing to visit the White House after winning Super Bowl 2025.

On X, Kelly told the Eagles to โ€œGO F YOURSELVESโ€ in response to an article by by The U.S. Sun. The piece claimed a member of Philadelphiaโ€™s ownership and an unidentified player would decline a White House invite if the team received one.

Howver, the piece was published before the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

โ€œWas that necessary, though?โ€ Smith asked on Tuesday edition of โ€œThe Stephen A. Smith Show.โ€ Kelly admitted Monday that the White House denied the report was true in a different post on X.

She never took accountability for sharing and reacting to the disinformation, though, which prompted Smith to call her out.

โ€œReally? They ainโ€™t feeling Trump. So what?โ€ Smith stated. โ€œ74 million plus people wasnโ€™t feeling Trump. F them too? Come on, Megyn.โ€

Smith reiterated how Kellyโ€™s reaction was over the top and that the sports team is free to move as theyโ€™d like.

โ€œYou donโ€™t need to do that. Itโ€™s just not necessary. And by the way, if any team was justified in not wanting to show up to the White Houseโ€ฆ it would be the Philadelphia Eagles.โ€

Earlier this week, Donald Trump confirmed that the Eagles will be invited to the White House.

โ€œThey will be. We havenโ€™t yet, but we will be,โ€ Trump said, per CBS News. โ€œI thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, theyโ€™ll be extended that invitationโ€ฆThey deserve to be down here and we hope to see them.โ€

On Monday, Don Lemon called Kelly a โ€œracistโ€ and a โ€œtrollโ€ after she mocked Joy Reid for being let go from MSNBC.

โ€œThe worst person on television was fired from NBC and the โ€˜Todayโ€™ show a few years ago, and thatโ€™s Megyn Kelly!โ€ Lemon stated on his eponymous show. โ€œNBC did something good with that.โ€
