If you thought Stephen A. Smith was ever going to get any less misogynistic, well then—wait, you never thought that.

Reviewing a highlight of Norway’s Maren Mjelde’s clever free kick goal against Germany in the Women’s World Cup, Smith offered an expert one-liner. His co-host Tim Legler started off first with “these young ladies didn’t want to catch one in the grill.”

You know what else wouldn’t mess up any of the Women’s World Cup players’ hair? Taking a free kick at Stephen A. Smith.
