Stephen A Smith refuses to call golfers, NASCAR drivers athletes: 'That don't count'
Stephen A. Smith said golfers and NASCAR drivers are elite at what they do but refused to call them athletes in a passionate on-air rant about sports.
Smith said the professionals are "elite at what they do," but he is drawing a line when describing them.
"You can be behind the wheel of a car in your 60s and 70s for crying out loud."
Smith also insinuated that "just because you gotta walk the course for 18 holes for four days, that don't make you an athlete."
"Because they can walk. If you're out there doing stuff that grandmas and grandpas can do, I'm not gonna look at you that way. You're skilled, you're phenomenally skilled as a golfer … but that is not an athletic sport."
