UPDATE: The Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) announced they'll stage a press conference in New York Tuesday to address ESPN's suspension of Jemele Hill.

The protest will be held outside of the Disney-owned network's Upper West Side offices at 12 noon ET. Hill, co-anchor of ESPN's 6 p.m. ET SportsCenter with Michael Smith, was suspended two weeks by ESPN Monday for what the company called repeated violations of its social media policies.

"Rev. Sharpton and NAN will call for a meeting with the Chairman of the Board and demand an immediate reinstatement of Jemele Hill along with other demands pertaining to corporate diversity," said Sharpton and NAN in a statement.

No, but I do hope he follows through with the threat.

Trump has single handedly cucked ESPN/Jemele Hill/NFL simultaneously.

This is amazing to watch

People like Al do this shite and then others wonder why no one wants to employ black people.

It’s damn near a certainty that SOMEONE tosses a race card when you suspend them or fire them for poor performance.

How much do they pay him to shut him up this time?

ESPN: Just make the check out to the IRS, please.
