Michelle Obama mocked Espn and Stephen A. Smith and accused the network and its stars not to be “Real Housewives of Atlanta”.
ESPN has undergone a shift in its programming in the past ten years, with an increase in fiery panel shows such as “First Take”, “Get Up” and “The Pat McAfee Show”.
The network also built personalities, including Smith, who recently signed a contract of 100 million US dollars and even annoyed a possible run for the White House.
But Smith and ESPN were mocked by the former First Lady, which suggested that the network has become its own reality TV show.
'It's all a sociological study. You think sport is a better reality TV. I like: “It's the same!” Obama said in her 'imo' podcast. “There is drama in sports. When I hear ESPN for an hour, it is like watching the” Real Housewives of Atlanta “.
“It is the same drama and they scream each other and they don't understand each other, do you know? I mean, Stephen A. Smith, he is just like any other talk show. '

It was joking to Obama that Smith would be a “big real housewife”. The popular franchise franchise franchise describes the life of wealthy women from different regions.
“That's why I am like that,” what is the difference? “It's just a sociological drama,” continued Obama.
“The fact that people still cannot get along with each other over the season of working. They still have the same arguments and they are not only women. But that also happens in sports. I find it fascinating. '
