EXCLUSIVE: ESPN tried to kick Jemele Hill off the air and replace her with another black host
Think Progress ^

Posted on 09/14/2017 7:27:01 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

ESPN originally tried to keep Hill off the air on Wednesday evening, but Smith refused to do the show without her, the sources said. Both sources also said that producers reached out to two other black ESPN hosts, Michael Eaves and Elle Duncan, to ask them to serve as fill-ins for the show — but Eaves and Duncan did not agree to take the place of Hill and Smith, either.

I predict either she eventually gets fired or the show gets cancelled.

Wanted to have it both ways but the BLM’s stick together.

Sadly, no white person could ever be capable of hosting a sports talk program.

Don’t waste you brain cells on these peons. There are plenty of options for sports news away from ESPEON.

The few times I’ve seen her, she has always struck me as being a hair’s breath away from going full-on ghetto. The hand comes up and starts traversing with the stiff, raised forefinger. Almost like the rattle of a coiled diamondback.

Take the ESPN apps off your phone immediately. If you can cut a cable or sat package that has them on it, do it. This racist crap has to be met with return fire.

One would hope.

As for those other two folks, they’d never show up on the network again if I had anything to do with it.

If Jemele is allowed to “win” this round, she will be emboldened, becoming more and more brutal in the near future. She will be joined by several other millionaire crybabies who happen to be black. ESPN has to make some uncomfortable decisions very quickly.

She’s been in trouble like this before.

“During the 2008 NBA Playoffs, Hill was suspended from her post after referencing Adolf Hitler in an article about the then-NBA champion Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. In an editorial describing why she could not support the Celtics, Hill wrote: “Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It’s like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan. Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics.”

Wikipedia

You’re right and it’s only a matter of time till she busts loose again in a way that even ESPN won’t tollerate.

What's that saying about a petard?

The show is unwatchable, I tried a few times and frankly it's boring and not entertaining at all. ESPN may as well be NPR now, I'll be skipping Monday Night Football and only watch the SEC channel for SEC football.

So aren’t blacks about 13% of this country? How is it they’re dominating the agenda?

I still can’t figure out why the idiots at ESPN couldn’t replace Jemele Hill with Robert Lee.

Because we're all white supremacists - and there's tons of FReepers that are fine with being apologists too.

Tons of freepers complain but they are still watching ESPN - and they are still watching Fox and the rest of the dirty liberal stations.

When (or if) conservatives get fed up with this stuff we will turn off the propaganda.

Why don't freepers make plans to go to the gym, join a soccer team, take up racquetball or just take a walk????
