......and what WC Fields said about 100 years ago about mixing politics and business....thus angering half your customers holds true today.
ESPN president gone in 3...2....1......
P.S. LOL @ Al Sharpton....he won't even call for a boycott on Chicago and they friggin' murdered a black kid and tried to cover the whole thing up with a big payoff (oh and got away with it FYI). Remember, this whole issue is about BLM yet here is Sharpton willing to threaten ESPN for suspending someone threatening their own advertisers but um....he can't really take on LA, Chicago, NY police and politicians so much because then he wouldn't get those speaking gigs at the DNC or asked on MSNBC etc.
This is funny because he is mad that she is not allowed to say she wants her employer to lose money.
To be honest. I personally believe and think that Jemele Hill deserves the suspension. Not because of her political stance, but at a time in this country when we are all in an age of insensitivity. Jemele Hill can cause folks to be triggered by her opinon thus causing fowl language to be heard on both ends of political, social and racial spectrum. ESPN is owned by Disney, and Disney wants to be seen as a friendly family organization. Jemele Hill should be lucky that she is not fired, but only received suspension. At this time Jemele Hill needs to choose either if she wants to be a sports anchor, or start up an SJW platform to fight for black rights and the advocation of the end of DJ Trump as President. ESPN is not in the best interest of Jemele Hill. If this was a white man or a black man, or even to a certain degree a white woman making such remarks, ESPN would have fired such employees a long time ago. Employers are very touchy on firing black female employees.
It sure looks that way which had me confused as to why she is still employed after her social media post. Also ESPN must have told her she can't post on twitter because her last tweet was at 12pm.
ESPN got rid of Bill Simmons for criticizing the NFL. Same might happen to her. The show sucks anyways. Good excuse to end it.
She got a pass for calling the President of the United States a "white supremacist", she get's a 2 week suspension for calling for a boycott against a popular NFL Team ...... I believe we see a pattern here.
ESPN is a Political Left Wing organization, masquerading as a "sports" venue.
That's their choice ..... it is the choice of many to just Turn Them OFF.
They ripped their own mask OFF and exposed themselves. They are just Social Justice Warriors.
Nothing to do with Sports.

Let's hope they are thinking about should she be let go these next two weeks.
Her job is to give her personal opinion. And ESPN has always been ok with talking politics if it specifically has to do with sports.
so you are wrong on all counts.
Opinion is one thing, telling people to boycott essentially a sponsor of the network is another.
