On the same day that Jemele Hill was suspended from ESPN for tweeting about politics, another network personality, Michael Wilbon, compared Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to a slave owner.
Mr. Wilbon, co-host of "Pardon the Interruption," took issue with Mr. Jones' stance that players who do not stand for the national anthem before football games will not play.
"And the word that comes to my mind―and I don’t care who doesn't like me using it―is plantation," Mr. Wilbon said on Monday’s show. "The players are here to serve me, and they will do what I want. No matter how much I pay them, they are not equal to me. That’s what this says to me and mine."
ESPN declined to comment on Mr. Wilbon's remarks.

The NFL needs the players, owners, and the media to play nice with each other to get past this protest nonsense. Doesn’t sound like they are even close to making that happen.
Except you can quit and leave with out being shot.
In related news, guess who else is getting in on the action at ESPN:
Rev. Sharpton To Target ESPN & Their Advertisers After The Network Suspended Jemele Hill
NFL players ARE “slaves” to the league as well as the companies who sell their merchandise. What other professional tattoos their “brand” on their bodies?
Good thing Sharpton lives in NY. If he lived in CA the guy that gave him AIDS would only be guilty of a misdemeanor.
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure plantation slaves weren’t paid millions to pick cotton.
Do liberal blacks really believe they will win a race war in the USA? Their non-black liberal teammates are pajama boys. They are at a severe disadvantage.
Jerry is shaking in his boots over this comment by ESPN, he tried to make a middle compromise, but as Margaret Thatcher said, those in the middle of the road, get run over.
Back in the day Sharpton was very very fat. Now he looks anorexic. What gives?.
The correct word is "employee," dimwit.
There are no oppressed people in America
“There are no oppressed people in America”
Except the taxpayer
ESPN needs to fire this clown—not because his comments are crazy—but because if he thinks it is slavery to obey the boss he is unemployable.
“slave owner”, when I heard it, I say, only a black American can spew such nonsense.
Let’s face it, blacks are the worst racists of the racists.
Every Game the National Anthem and God Bless America in the Stretch
Let them quit then. There are plenty of nice young men who would jump at the chance to play pro ball.
Oh this old line again. So set the slaves free evil white owner.
i really this weekend will be make or break for the NFL...the hustlers are really trying to get the entire Cowboys team to kneel...this is coming to a head.
“Back in the day Sharpton was very very fat. Now he looks anorexic. What gives?”
Pretty sure he had a gastric bypass procedure.
