If they're "liberal," it's because they figured how to make a shitload of money trolling white people.

When white people stop watching Jemele Hill just to tattle on her to the MSB and ratings go in the toilet, they'll fire her arse too.

And before you go there, ESPN isn't in a world of trouble because their ratings are down. They're in trouble because the entire home entertainment paradigm changed and they didn't keep up, the money they paid for broadcast rights can't be justified anymore, and Fox Sports is out-ESPNing them.

You're delusional

ESPN's own study indicates big chunk of viewers perceive network has liberal bias

ESPN public editor calls for more ideological diversity to counter liberal bias

And more double standards were on display when no action was taken by the network against ESPN sportscaster Tony Kornheiser when he compared the tea party to ISIS.

The Washington Post reported that, while working at ESPN, McHenry had been advised to hide her political opinions and delete the word ‘conservative’ from her Twitter biography.

She yelled at a tow truck company and the video was released in April of 2015. She was fired from ESPN in April of 2017. Nice try though

This is Disney

They will replace them with cheap immigrant labor in a couple of months when no one is looking.

At least this time the current staff does not have to train their replacements.

You don't think that played a role in ESPN's decision on keeping her or not. Also, she released an article on how the video ruined her life and made it difficult for her to be on social media .

I don't really feel bad for considering she disappeared for a few months and came back as the ultra conservative out of the clear blue sky. Not to mention, she's still getting a check from ESPN.

Yet no mention at all of Quinton Flowers scoring a td, simulating jerking off then throwing it at the crowd the very night before on their on network. But a 5 minute lecture about how awful Mayfield is including video. Seems legit

Because no one knows who TF Quinton Flowers is. Baker Mayfield is a hot topic.

Hypothetical: Cam Newton does what Baker Mayfield did. You think ESPN doesn't talk about it? Sweeps it under the rug because he's black?
