Jemele Hill suspended by ESPN

[DangDaGawd]

Yes

 

[Dark One]

Nobody knew who she was before all of this. Now everybody knows her...

 

[kpt018]

I think you are having a hard time accepting that people just don't want to see that. They're not being sensitive or upset...they are just changing the channel.

Huh? You’re making shit up. I couldn’t care less if people watch her show or not. I’ve seen parts and thought the show was terrible.

 

[Gunny]

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.

The WH is supposed to be political. It's intrinsically, innately and inescapably political. ESPN is supposed to show us long balls, slam dunks and hat tricks. This bitch can get bent

 

[Gunny]

she's basically just eye candy anyway.

Good googly moogly! That's definitely not Jemele Hill. So who is it?

Then why are you giving people a bunch of shit for expressing their dislike for the show and the network?

linda cohen.

 

[BruceLeeOnTRT]

Is that the girl Artie Lang had to apologize to because he tweeted a sexual fantasy involving her and him on the Jefferson plantation?

It's really not, though. After the election, the winner is supposed to make a point of showing that he's the president of the whole country and, while clearly fighting for policy goals that lines up along party lines, is supposed to be somewhat above politics. As recently as a year ago (the before time), I think there would be a pretty strong consensus that this kind of the thing is at least unseemly. Just another standard that has fallen, as former conservatives abandon all principles to continue to stand behind the GOP and its embarrassing leader.

I didn’t. Just saying change the channel and stop being a bitch about it.

She signed a contract, she seemingly violated it.

 

[Konster]

I'm sure her supporters will cry racism. Her dumbass was already in hot shit for her previous comments. Companies have policies, if you can't abide by them, then you shouldn't be working there in the first place.

 

[west42]

His entire premise is she should be fired for untrue defamatory statements.
YOUR claim is that she's being silenced and having her first amendment rights curtailed should this happen. If you have some statements by trump that confirms he's a white supremacist id like to see them.
As an aside, we've established freedom of speech doesnt provide for freedom from consequence of said speech. Or does that only apply to the right?

You should read the posts you're responding to. I did, and I responded to someone who said she should have been fired for her comments about Trump.

 

[west42]

YES! Wtf is so difficult about this?

She signed a contract, she seemingly violated it.

His premise is that she should be fired specifically for calling out Trump's racism. My point is that he does not apply that standard universally, which leaves free speech to be something enjoyed only by people who agree with @LogicalInsanity and the president--that is, that we shouldn't have free speech.

As an aside, we've established freedom of speech doesnt provide for freedom from consequence of said speech. Or does that only apply to the right?

Sure, but what kind of consequences are we talking about? I've previously agreed with others (@Peteyandjia) that workers should be able to express political views without being fired. People who were on my side on that issue (when we were discussing Damore) aren't on this one--meaning that it's not actually a matter of worker rights and free speech as much as just "right wingers should be able to say what they want and people who are not right-wingers shouldn't," which is an unfortunately common position here and in the country. The battle to keep free speech is only being fought in good faith by the left.
