Why is this person still employed ? If this had been a white person who spoke similarly about Obama, she would have been fired before the echo died down!

Such a double standard!

Why do you suppose that this "double standard" exists?

Because she wants to be fired so she can scream racism. Best course of action is to not care and make her have to do something even more outrageous.

Clay Travis is going pretty hard to the hole on this story because it's right in his wheelhouse.

On his show this morning, he asked that only black people call in and tell him why he's racist. I only listened to a little bit of it but the few calls I heard were about him critiquing either a black person or an issue involving a black person. Basically, he was racist for not falling in line. It was pretty illuminating.

1. She's female.
2. Majority of ESPN folks agree with her.
3. Her hateful rhetoric is the "right" kind.
4. She's black.

Prime opportunity for a white, male espn personality to type the exact opposite on their social media and see the results. I'd hope to get fired and sue

ESPN deemed Curt Schilling's comment on same gender bathrooms as "conduct unbecoming" and fired him immediately.

Screw ESPN.

The worst part to me is that ESPN offered this statement but didn't make her apologize.

It's really offensive to me. I am not even watching Gameday anymore now - only actual sporting events.

frick ESPN.

The solution is simple.

Go to evey social media they are on and call them out on it.

E
v
e
r
y
DAY

End your subscription or lower your package until they are no longer getting your dollars.


Then let them know you did that by going back to those social media outlets and let them know again.

This has been working against these huge companies that think they can do and say whatever they want and you should PAY them to do so.

AND until everybody starts doing that, they will not change what they do or say.

Her being employed is a good thing if you're against race baiter. She's helping keep Democrats irrelavent

ESPN/Hill got exactly what they wanted.

Publicity for a failed socio-political clap trap called SC6.

What's equally disturbing is that Linda Cohn, who has been at ESPN for a very long time, got suspended for saying that ESPN talks too much politics and they need to cut it out.

Let's see....... black, racist Jemelle Hill tweets out slanderous, racist remarks about our president and simply gets told not to do it anymore.

White Linda Cohn says ESPN talks too much politics and need to cut it out and gets suspended.

Hmmmmmmmmmm
