Jemele Hill suspended by ESPN

[Gregolian]

She should be fired for being garbage at her job frankly.

Wonder why ESPN decided to take action and suspend her? They're losing numbers and popularity fast and this is part of the problem. Why would any business think, "Fuck the customer and who cares if we have smaller viewership." From a business standpoint, it makes sense to rid of problems like this. ESPN is in the business of viewership, good thing they don't take your advice.

Fine, I didn't comment whether it was smart business. Just said viewers can watch something else and given ESPN's struggling numbers, that's what people are doing.

It's fine they suspended her.

You do understand that players were kneeling and it pretty much became a non-issue until Trump decided to bring it up on the stump in Alabama though right? And then since it was dying down and not being talked about anymore Pence was sent to Indianapolis for his silly walk out stunt?

The WH is pushing this issue to the forefront more than any players were, or any reporters were.

So you're saying Trump is playing 4D chess?

This is a weird post. Too many metaphors. Just say what you mean man.

The clear star that is yesterday sat down once more. Significant understanding is not all that great. The last sentence you saw is good for you.

Good...
Frankly she should have been terminated for her comments about Trump being a white supremacist.

Only conservatives should allowed to call out racism and have free speech, right? And certainly we cannot be allowing people to criticize the gov't without suffering consequences.

Good, I'm tired of listening to this dumb broad spout racist shit.... On top of knowing fuck all about anything not named Basketball.

Oh she doesn't know basketball either.

She is a joke. Top to bottom. Has no place talking sports. Tons of women do, she just ain't one of them.

Shut the fuck up, there is nothing about Trump that implies he's a white supremacist. He also never said only conservatives should have the right to free speech and call out racism. All that is requested is that you provide actual proof of racism.

I'm really tired of the NFL, NBA and ESPN with all the sjw, feminist, lgbtq agenda pushing. It makes me not want to watch

Tbh I just gave that to her because I know fuck all about basketball, so I'll take your word for it lol!

Here's some other things Jemele has written.

"Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It's like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan. Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics."

“So in a country where we have done everything possible to undermine the LGBTQ community, we are suddenly lecturing Islam on homophobia. Oh.”

“I recently wrote a column saying that there is just as much evidence against Lance Armstrong as there is [against] Barry Bonds, and part of the reason there is this extraordinary benefit of the doubt extended to Lance is because he’s white."

That's hilarious.

The first quote shouldn't be dignified by a response.

Second quote gets a sincere "go fuck yourself" and an honest "if you think so low of this country, please get out"

Third quote, just smdh. People gave Lance the doubt because he is a twink, not a ball of muscles that only got larger as it aged. Also Armstrong has been ripped to shreds and erased, Bonds still got work in the mlb and got to keep his hr title.

Lmao nice reading comprehension you partisan hack.

There's lots about him that implies it, but that is completely irrelevant here. I'm commenting on the common view that free speech just means freedom to praise the gov't and right-wing opinions. If you guys don't believe in freedom of speech for people you disagree with, you don't really believe in it at all.

Lol its ok..

Tbf it's probably her best subject other than the SJW flavor of the month. But thats saying next to nothing.

 

[TheFirstEMP]

So you follow her on twitter? Because it is my understanding she tweeted out these remarks that got her suspended, didn't say them on air.

Pence with this walkout stunt was the one interjecting politics into the sports arena more than anything else this weekend.

Wrong. The players interjected politics where it doesn’t belong.

@Jack V Savage Pretty sure you get called this daily

Who thinks free speech just means freedom to praise the govt. and right wing opinions? You wonder why you're called Hack Savage with posts like this lol

 

[TheComebackKid]

I'm not sure about you, but my apple TV and firestick came with a remote and so did my cable box when I had that. It was really easy, I can press up or down, left or right or type a channel number and the channel magically changed.

Fucking wizardry I tell you. You should look into it.

I think that's exactly what is happening. People are changing the channel and ESPN is responding.

 

[ShoelessRye]

Well even playing the anthem is interjecting politics into sports in the first place. Also DOD paid the NFL to have the "tribute to the troops" moments at various stadiums.

People were changing the channel regardless.

A fly can get both high and low.
