ESPN's Jamele Hill suspended for stirring the pot once again... (controversial, how much)

She knows ESPN is a sinking ship and might as well parley this into something else.

How glorious is it to see libs and snowflakes starting to eat their own?

1. The players are using the anthem/flag to protest Trump among other things...
2. Some blacks are protesting the NFL (~60% black) for not hiring Kapernick
3. Some people are protesting the players disrespecting the anthem/country
4. ESPN's own announcers are wanting people to boycott their sponsors
5. Rev Al wants people to boycott ESPN (a liberal network) for punishing #4

Everyone is boycotting and protesting each other.

Good times.

This whole fiasco shows how deranged the whole world is here in 2017.

Definitely a grab some popcorn and watch the show moment.

ESPN and their sensitive SJWs.

She might be the least entertaining person on a major network so I doubt anyone misses her.

I don't think these idiots grasp the idea of a for profit business. They think everywhere they go it's some political think group or something.

I would love if all that happens.

As I said, then why wasnt every member of ESPN that supported the player lockouts fired as well ?

Which is worse, a couple of people boycotting, or no games at all ????

ESPN apparently isn't okay with it, because this is the second time she's been suspended.

If a white reporter made similar remarks about Obama, he'd have been tossed out on his a** two seconds after the Tweet went out.

You guys post that in every forum, and for some reason you keep forgetting that you were posting the same thing last year and the year before.

This has nothing to do with ratings.

Lockout controversy draws more viewship/sponsorships than one football game a week. Also, it was the offseason so at the time ESPN was losing zero dollars.
