How many incidents has Hill had that ESPN had to come down on her for? This is the only one I know of. That could be your difference. Schilling was fired for being told multiple times to stop with the nonsense, but he did not stop.
She has said many controversial things. ESPN doesn't do anything for most of the controversial things she has said. She's given a pass that people with an opposing viewpoint are not given.

Jumble Hill calls all police slave patrol and the president a Nazi and ESPN has "a talk with her." Curt Schilling compares ISIS to Nazis and gets fired and black-balled… Makes sense..

Just to be clear, he was suspended for awhile for comparing ISIS to Nazis (shouldn't have been). He was fired after he rewteeted some far right winging meme about transgenders.

Hill says equally as outrageous things all the time yet this is the only time she even got a talking to. I have yet to see a suspension or even a hint she will be fired if she doesn't cool it. It literally took her saying the president and all of his followers are white supremacists for ESPN to say anything to her.

What did ESPNs MNF ratings look like? If they were shite, this may be the reason ESPN is asking her to tone it down.

Week 1 of NFL and now they want her to reign it in, likely not a coincidence.

Could you guys imagine if someone like, oh let's just say, Curt Schilling said something negative about the president of the United States?
it's funny how people keep pointing to him and act like he wasn't given like 3 or 4 chances to calm his shite before he got fired

ESPN will never uncuck themselves if they don't fire her. This is their Waterloo.

The only way for true synergy in all of this would be for ex-ESPN talk show host Skip Bayless to troll Hill over her inappropriate comments next time he is on Fox Sports.

Re the comment about it being a "culture" at ESPN. Last Fall, when ESPN's ratings were all the talk, there were several off the record comments made by "conservatives" at ESPN that they were afraid to express their political beliefs openly & basically had to stay in the closet. One comment was especially chilling in that he/she said that she felt like the Gestapo was watching her every move. Leftists like Hill actually promote racial discord as opposed to claiming they are trying to open up discussions bout race. She has no discussion, she lectures the white race on its failures & that just stokes the fires of hate more.

How many black folks gotta get massacred for y'all to be satisfied with calling someone a "racist"?

How many "black folks" has Trump slaughtered? Also, since they slaughter each other at a rate so alarmingly high should we be calling black people racist against their own?

All the media promotes racial discord because it gets clicks and views. There is room for dialogue but I believe it's overdone and it's damaging this country and ultimately the world.

Basically when somebody tells me I can't possibly truly understand something because of the color of my skin, it's as racist to me as me saying well you're a liar, thief, and pervert because of your race.

I understand it all. Like Denzel said, I "overstand" it.

I feel like Jemele Hill's annoying shtick creates more racist people. She's a fricking idiot.

No doubt. People like her create more racists than anything Donald Trump has said. It's just blatant dishonesty to claim he didn't condemn the violence from the nazis that night

Better watch out, troll... this topic got you banned for a long while when you made fun of the Dallas cops being shot.

Actually, do it again so you get permabanned.

Because blacks and liberals are soft and sensitive and need to be protected from mean words. Duh
