Jemele Hill Out at ESPN (CNN, racist, elect, work)

[DRob4JC]

Jemele Hill to leave ESPN in September, per reports

Jemele Hill's run at ESPN will end Friday as she and the company have reached a buyout of her contract, according to multiple reports. ESPN declined comment.

...
Since leaving SportsCenter, Hill has been far from the public's eye at The Undefeated. Anyone paying attention has known this day was coming, as the marriage had become hopelessly strained. She was a bad fit at this ESPN, the version seemingly afraid to be seen as overly political.

There's no doubt she pushed the envelope when it came to expressing personal views. There's no doubt she upset a huge faction of the country by going after those in power. But one wonders why she became the avatar for the "stick to sports" crowd's rage. She is not the only ESPNer who dips into social, racial, and political issues. She's just the one who paid the most public price.

Um... when you call an elected president a white supremacist - anyone with half a brain does not have to wonder why she became "the avatar for the "stick to sports" crowd's rage".

She will work for the root.

I guess she will be continue her political commentary career on MSNBC, CNN or The View on September 1st.

Sadly, she'll land in a high paying position at one of the leftist "news" networks.

At least she won't be spewing her racist garbage on ESPN anymore.

On the comment that "she wasn't the only one" - that's true. She also isn't the only one ESPN has either suspended (Cohn, Kornheiser, etc) or let go (Whitlock, Cowherd, etc).
