A whole string of ridiculous tweets that anyone else in private business would be fired over. Barely a month after her last Twitter tirade comparing police to "slave patrols"

ESPN's Jemele Hill Under Fire For Comparing Cops To 'Slave Patrols' (TWEETS) | Total Pro Sports


Don't worry, ESPN has talked to her and she promises not to do it again ;-) I'm sure ESPN management went right back into meetings to try to figure out why their viewership has been declining so rapidly

Did you notice how few blacks were fired during the great espn purge? ESPN is perfect example of how you take a good company and run it into the ground with political correctness

ESPN is a joke now. It's bad enough they replaced the real sports reporters with these bitter SJW's, but when they fired John Clayton, that was the last straw for me.

Jemele is basically a walking stereotype of the "angry black woman". It's no wonder their ratings are in the toilet.

Did you see that absolute Moderator cut: profanityshow of a broadcast last night on MNF? It proved your point exactly.

"calling Trump a white supremacist"

I agree, she should apologize for her remarks as they were over the top. Now if she said Trump is a White Supremacist Lite, that would be accurate. He's likes to blow the dog whistle.

If Trump was black and a liberal he woukld be a hero to the left.

Trump hasn't proposed any laws or policies that gives the "whites" an advantage over other races........now we can't say the same for the democrat party with their identity politics.

why do yall care what a sports person has to say about Trump? One minute you're crying about how Kaepernick needs to leave politics out of sports, the next your going out seeking stuff like this. You could just ignore the whole issue because she has no power over anything.

Because ESPN fired two white employees for making political remarks. So why should Jemele get to keep her job? It's a tad hypocritical if the policy isn't applied equally.

Did you want Sage Steele, who is black, fired from ESPN for expressing her politically conservative views in defiance of company policy?

So much for ESPN demoting Sage Steele because she
