I'm getting to that point myself. Reluctantly voted for Johnson in 2016 (he was a pretty shitty nominee himself), but I'm strongly considering voting for Trump in 2020 out of spite.


I did the same in 2016 but definitely voting Trump in 2020c

Im sure that date would be filled with deep philosophical conversations. Nah... prob mostly consist of hillary debating the finer points of selecting exactly which type of hotsauce she chooses to carry in her purse.

No it isn't, Trump by pandering the lowest common denominator while being able to shite on regular politicians. Not to mention the Democrats alienating the independents by pandering to the far left and choosing Hillary as their candidate

To be fair, the DNC chose Hillary as their candidate. Dems were just tricked into thinking they actually had a sayso in the matter.

Imagine for a second if Suzy Kolber had tweeted that Obama was ignorant, offensive, unfit, unqualified, and would never have been elected if he hadn't been black. How long do you suppose it would take the ESPN brass to tell her to pack her things?

If everybody who was against this type of thing would speak out with their dollars, Change would happen.

We have seen it with many business that are far bigger than ESPN.


I just told ESPN via their Contact page and other online media that I am canceling my service and she was the straw that broke the camels back (probably a racist statement right).

Done. And I won't miss a game!


BTW.. Her rant on Kid Rock being a Racist and "embracing the nazi flag"... wth!

I love this because we get to see the double standard in full bloom.

She won't be censored, she won't be fired...imagine Chris Berman calling Obama an idiot? Back, back, back...gone.

She is one of the most hateful people in this country, the Neo Nazis and KKK could learn a thing or two from her.

What does she base this on? Our last president was black and he was elected twice. Is she not aware of that happening?

I don't even know who this is, but she has a man's name and seems as melty as a grilled cheese sandwich!

Not sure who this guy is, but if this is an on air personality they should demote him to covering soccer in Afghanistan.

Who gives a shite what she thinks? Her opinions on sports are utter shite; so, why should her opinions on politics be anymore intelligent?




Well, she is a bigot who has a national forum and dozens of her clones are also imbedded in the national media, so there is that.

Think about the utter stupidity of her statements - that in 2017 a "white supremacist" push is the reason that Donald Trump was elected president.

She opens her mouth and validates that the left truly has nothing to explain why Trump won and no counter point to offer in gaining support for their side.

I was reading a blog related to the recent rant of Mrs. Jemele Hill with regard to our sitting President. While first amendment rights allow us the opportunity to express ourselves, most working Americans also realize that we represent our respective employers with our words and actions. This is especially true of someone that is in Mrs. Hill's position, who is exposed to the public through a myriad of media means to the ESPN viewing public.

I remember when ESPN was sports, sports, and more sports. I rarely, if ever watch your network anymore, because it has leant itself to a platform to pontificate political views and social grievances. People like Mrs. Hill likely have you handcuffed in a way. If you remove their vehicle or oppose a view, you become a Nazi or at minimum, a racist network.

I appreciate the years when you were there for the entire population of sports lovers. I'll try to remember those days while the Mrs. Hill's of the world abuse their position and privilege to push their agendas at your viewership's expense.

Regards,

Former ESPN subscriber

Never heard of her.

Is she the most qualified person for her job?

Tbird, you have the integrity and guts to admit that fact.

Until Black leaders acknowledge there is no "community" the problems we see facing Blacks in our inner cities will never improve. Especially the gangs and the violence.
