Florida Paid Stephen A. Smith A Lot Of Money To Speak To Students

After an audience question about journalists being censored by networks, Smith spoke at length about his recent weeklong suspension by ESPN after his on-air comments about Ray Rice's domestic violence situation.

Smith said he chose his words poorly but did not think he deserved to be suspended after his comments.

"Under no circumstances should you put your hands on a woman," he said at the event.

"I don't believe I'm negative," Smith said. "I believe I'm real."
