Twitter Can’t Understand Why ESPN Hasn’t Fired Jemele Hill And The Tweets Are Cold Blooded

If you haven’t heard by now, ESPN is laying off 100 members of their journalist and on-air talent staff today. One of the biggest names to be let go so far include Ed Werder, who found out that his dog is dying about 45 minutes before he found out he was fired from ESPN after 17 years of reporting. Other big names include Trent Dilfer, Dana O’Neil, Jeremy Crabtree, and Danny Kanell (amongst others).

A quick perusal of Twitter will and you’ll see that one big name is noticeably missing from the list of fired ESPN on-air talent: Jemele Hill. People are becoming mean as hell out there, on an unacceptable level. Personally, I don’t know enough about Jemele’s body of work to understand why so many people hate her because I stopped watching ESPN several years ago when it became insufferable. I’ve read through this list of ‘Jemele Hill Controversies‘ including suspensions and reprimands for overstepping the boundaries, and times she didn’t get suspended when others might’ve. So I have some semblance of why people want to see her fired, but I’m by no means an expert on the situation.

Jemele Hill is a racist idiot, and, while I hate to be so petty, always has big, huge wet armpit stains on her shirt. Nasty.

When she first started at ESPN, she was very good, and wrote very good columns.
Her main topic was about black athletes, growing up.
Become fathers, stop blaming slavery, stop blaming Civil Rights.
Of course, those opinions, haven’t fit the ESPN mold, in quite some time.

“Dilfer is the only one I’ve ever heard of.”

ditto. but i think that just means we pay attention to actual football and not espn commentators or their commentary.

which brings us to this ancient conundrum:

if an espn talking head is fired in the woods but no one knows who they are, does it make a sound?

I generally tune in just ahead of the kickoff/tipoff/first pitch, etc.. Even for the playoff games or Super Bowl I seldom watch any of the pregame buildup, or post game analysis. So I don't know much about those who perform on them.
